biology nord ic qtr b continuous learning center - credit bearing (tutor) biotechnology scientists have genetically engineered potato plants to produce potatoes that contain edible vaccines. which is a disadvantage of the genetically engineered potatoes? they make it easier to administer edible vaccines. they are easier to transport and store than injectable vaccines (shots). they have nutritional value while potatoes without the vaccine do not. they are more expensive than potatoes without the vaccine.

Explanation:

The problem involves evaluating the disadvantages of genetically engineered potatoes. The key is to identify which option represents a negative aspect. Options like ease of administration, transport/storage, and nutritional value are advantages. The cost - related option (more expensive) is a valid disadvantage as genetic engineering often incurs higher costs in development and production compared to non - engineered varieties.

Answer:

They are more expensive than potatoes without the vaccine.
