Question

3 golden rice is a type of rice that has been altered to contain vitamin a. this yellow rice is beneficial to populations that typically dont receive enough vitamin a from other sources. how is golden rice classified?
a genetically engineered
b genetically modified organisms
c altered through gene therapy
d a and b

Explanation:

For Question 2:

Artificial selection is the intentional breeding of organisms for desired traits useful to humans. Trait 1 (large amounts of corn) and Trait 2 (long shelf-life fruit) are human-desirable traits developed via artificial selection. Traits 3 (catch prey) and 4 (produce milk) are naturally beneficial traits for the organism, not artificial selection outcomes.

For Question 3:

Golden rice is created by inserting genes to produce vitamin A, so it is genetically engineered. A genetically modified organism (GMO) is any organism with altered genetic material, which includes golden rice. Gene therapy is for treating human/animal genetic disorders, not crop modification.

Answer:

1. B. 1 and 2
