That is right.

These substances are part and parcel of earth but the problem is that we are releasing them into the environment in new combinations that do not naturally exist .

Take the plastic bag for instance. It will eventually return to its original components but it takes a hundred years. In those hundred years it can kill thousands of animals which consume it, it promotes spreading of malaria when it accumulates rain water where mosquito eggs hatch and it looks revolting when dumped.

If the rice already had the genes that could make vitamin A, why did scientists use genes from other organisms?
meriva

Answer:

A. The rice genes didn't make the right type of vitamin A.

Explanation:

Regular white rice does not have the gene to produce beta carotene. The human body converts the beta carotene into vitamin A.

To increase the nutritional value of rice, the gene for beta carotene from daffodil flowers was inserted into the cells of endosperm of rice.

This allowed these cells of the genetically engineered rice varieties to produce beta carotene. Production of beta carotene imparted golden color to the rice grain and hence, the name.
