Question

4 multiple choice 10 points a genetically modified organism (gmo) or transgenic organism is best described as a gel electrophoresis an unmodified bacterial cell an organism that contains dna from another organism or foreign dna a clone 5 multiple choice 10 points scientists have added genes to rice plants for vitamin a and iron. which reason is most likely the purpose of this genetic engineering? to increase the plants resistance to disease. to increase the lifespan of rice plants to increase the amount of rice harvested from a plant. to increase the nutritional value of rice.

Explanation:

1. A genetically - modified organism (GMO) has foreign DNA incorporated into its genome. Gel electrophoresis is a technique, an unmodified bacterial cell has no foreign DNA, and a clone is a genetically identical copy, not the same as a GMO.
2. Adding genes for vitamin A and iron to rice plants is likely to enhance the nutritional content of rice, as these are important nutrients. It is not directly related to disease resistance, lifespan, or yield.

Answer:

1. C. An organism that contains DNA from another organism or foreign DNA
2. D. to increase the nutritional value of rice.
