Answer: c)They are more expensive than potatoes without the vaccine.

A genetic engineering is a practice which is integral part of biotechnology which involves the genetic manipulation of organisms. In this the genome of organism is manipulated by incorporating the genome of the other organism, or some part of it is deleted so as to make organism resistance against diseases.

In the given situation, edible vaccines are incorporated in the potato plants, the vaccines are the chemical formulations which includes either the bacterial genome or some of it's agents which can fight against the one already present in the body causing diseases. This entire process requires an expensive  technological support as a consequences of which the quality as well as price of these potatoes will be high as compared to conventionally produced potatoes.

Answer is b). They make it easier to administer edible vaccines.

Plant derived edible vaccines dependent on the stability of plant food. Potato is not eaten raw and it needs to be cooked before eating. Cooking causes denaturation or weaken the protein present in it. Edible vaccine is more effective in plant food which eaten raw such as banana. An individual get protected from diseases by simply eating a fruit.

How has increased global travel boosted the spread of certain species?
ser-zykov [4K]
<h3>Global travel and spread of certain species</h3>

Explanation:

Many pathogenic species of bacteria, virus, and other microbes are more prevalent in developing or tropical countries rather than in developed countries.

When an individual’s immune system is weak they become more susceptible to get infected and become carriers of that particular species.

The species grows, develops, and multiplies in the host’s body and when the traveler travels to his/her home country or any other place he/she can transmit the disease to others and again the species grows in numbers. Higher the rate of spread of infection higher is the increase in species.

Answer:

Lysosome

Explanation:

The lysosome is a part of the endomembrane system. It is a series of sacs containing digestive enzymes that are surrounded by membranes. Lysosomes are produced by the Golgi apparatus. They break down waste products so some components can be released outside the cell and others can be recycled.
