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.

Choose all of the areas in which the United States invoked the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine.
LekaFEV [45]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you did not attach the options to answer this question.

What we can do to help you is commenting on the following.

Throughout history, the United States invoked the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine to accomplish some imperialistic and interventionists goals in different Central American and South American countries.

We can set some examples here. For instance, that was the case of the US intervention in the Island of Cuba, in Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Hati, and the US presence for so many years in the Panama Canal.

Let's have in mind that the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine was originally called for intervening in Latin American countries that could not pay their debt to European creditors.

The message the US wanted to convey to European superpowers that had interests in this region was that from now on, it was going to be the US business to intervene in the Americas. If Europe tried to intervene, it was going to be understood as direct aggression to the United States.
