Question

1. scientists created a new variety of rice. they modified a common strain of rice by inserting the carotene gene from carrots. the addition of this gene resulted in a rice enriched with vitamin - a, a crucial vitamin for humans. what technology does this example represent? a. meiosis b. genetic engineering c. artificial selection d. cloning

Explanation:

Genetic engineering involves manipulating an organism's genes. Here, the carotene gene from carrots was inserted into rice DNA to create a new variety rich in vitamin - A. Meiosis is a cell - division process for sexual reproduction. Artificial selection is choosing organisms with desired traits for breeding. Cloning is creating genetically identical copies.

Answer:

B. genetic engineering
