Which statement best explains why the process of genetic engineering is important to the scientific community? A. Genetic engine
ering provides crops that are less expensive to grow. B. Genetic engineering is a research tool that can advance the usefulness of recombinant DNA. C. Genetic engineering provides an increased cost to laboratory work resulting in more advances. D. Genetic engineering can enhance the taste of food for consumers.
Genetic engineering is important to the scientific community because A)
Genetic engineering provides crops that are less expensive to grow. One
of the biggest problems that the world may face in the near future is a
food supply shortage due to the increasing exponential growth of the
population. Genetic engineering provides crops that are more hearty,
larger and less expensive to grow that may be the answer to mounting
future problems. The ability to manipulate plants in the lab makes
altering their growth pattern a much faster change than many years of
natural selection in the farm and field.
The answer is b) proteins because amino acids are the monomer of proteins. Many amino acids are joined together in what is known as a polypeptide chain, which forms a protein :)
