The Animal Functional Genomics Laboratory at Mississippi State University conducts genetic research involving farm animals. The
results can be used to genetically modify commercially useful animals. Which idea can BEST be used to argue in favor of this research? A) Genetic changes can be designed to make cows yield more milk. B) Genetic changes can be used to create an entirely new species. C) Genetic changes can be used to control the populations of farm animals. D) Genetic changes can be designed to control the animals' group behavior.
Genetic modifications can be used to produce or select potentially useful properties of an organism. This is the major advantage of genetically modified organisms.
For example, genetic changes can be designed to make cows yield more milk or fight diseases better.
