Question

select all that apply: which of the following are examples of how genetic engineering has benefited agriculture?
scientists have created
crops that can make
their own soil
scientists have created
crops that can better
survive droughts
scientists have created
crops that produce
larger fruit
scientists have created
crops that produce
natural toxins that act
as insecticides (kill
pests)

Explanation:

Genetic engineering in agriculture focuses on improving crop traits. Crops that better survive droughts (enhanced stress - tolerance), produce larger fruit (yield improvement), and produce natural toxins as insecticides (pest - resistance) are valid benefits. Crops making their own soil is not a genetic engineering outcome (soil formation is a complex geological and biological process not achievable via simple genetic modification of crops).

Answer:

B. Scientists have created crops that can better survive droughts, C. Scientists have created crops that produce larger fruit, D. Scientists have created crops that produce natural toxins that act as insecticides (kill pests)
