Question

3. PART A: Which two ideas about genetic modification are

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Genetic modification can increase the nutritional value of carrots

C. People can increase the amount of nutrients in their diets with carrots that have been genetically modified

Explanation:

The article "Carrots with Character" shows how, through genetic modification, some scientists were able to modify the DNA of carrots, so that they could develop greater amounts of beta-carotene in their composition. As a result, cenpuras become more nutritious, since beta-carotene is the precursor to vitamin A, which is extremely important in our body. With that we can conclude that through biotechnology, scientists can create vegetables that will provide more nutrients to people.

In summary, we can say that the main ideas defended in this article are:

• Genetic modification can increase the nutritional value of carrots
• People can increase the amount of nutrients in their diets with carrots that have been genetically modified
