Genetic engineering is the scientific process of changing the genome of an organism for specific purposes. Which genetically eng
ineered food crop would have the greatest positive impact on the health of people in developing nations? rice that resists drought tomatoes that will ripen slowly cotton that is resistant to insect pests carrots that can be grown in cool temperatures
The genetic engineering is a process of developing healthy plants and crops. This enable the production of disease free, drought tolerant, and high yielding crops. Also, the crops can be grown in different seasons.
The genome of the plant is manipulated with that of the other plant or animal to develop desired characteristics in plants.
The rice that resists drought is the correct option. This is because the rice is the basic staple crop. It is consumed by people all over the world. It is consumed on the daily basis. The rice crops grow in the standing water, in the absence of appreciable amount of water rice may not grow. Thus, attaining resistance to drought in rice plants, will have a greatest positive impact on the health of the people of the developing nations. As more production of rice will enable people to obtain daily food.
Neuron can be defined as excitable
cell that usually carries, processes and transmit impulses or electrical
signals. Thus, they are known to be basic unit of the nervous system which
includes the spinal cord and brain. However, the signals between s neurons occur
via certain connections called synapses.
