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.

Question- What would happen if earthquake waves were to interact with layers of the Earth?


Answer- Ok this is what really happens. As you may know there are seven tectonic plates on earth. Deep in the layers of earth energy is being build up to create a movement for thease plates. When the plates move it causes earthquakes but the thing is it depends were you are. If youre far from the movement you will get a small earthquake a small earthquake meaning you wouldnt even feel it, but on the other hand if your right by the movement you will get effected. Take calafornia as an example do you wonder why there are so many earthquakes happenening it because calafornia is right on the action! Calafornia is located right at the rigget place of the tectonic plate were the movement is big!
