Question

a concern about gmos is that they may cause alterations to human genetics. another concern is the effect that gmos potentially have on biodiversity, by introducing genetically altered organisms that may run rampant on an ecological landscape. because of these concerns, many people want regulation and identification regarding gmos in food to inform consumers. how do gmos benefit food production? reduces crop yield increases crop yield reduces food quality

Explanation:

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are engineered to enhance traits. One key benefit in food production is that they can be modified to increase crop yield. This is achieved through various genetic modifications such as making crops more resistant to pests (so less crop loss), more tolerant to environmental stresses (like drought or salinity, allowing growth in more areas), or more efficient in nutrient uptake and photosynthesis. Options A (reduces crop yield) and C (reduces food quality) are incorrect as they go against the typical benefits associated with GMO use in food production.

Answer:

B. increases crop yield
