Question

Farmers use a variety of approaches in an effort to produce more successful yields. These may include hormones, antibiotics, herbicides, pesticides, and forms of biotechnology like plant breeding or genetic engineering. Sort each statement into the bin with the corresponding agricultural approach. Drag the appropriate items into their respective bins.

Answer 1

Answer:

Statements are missing. These are,

1-Consumers may reduce exposure to these by washing and peeling fruits and vegetables.

2-These may be used to increase weight gain and meat production in cattle.

3-These include organophosphates and sex pheromones.

4-Golden rice is yellow because it contains beta-carotene, which the plant can now manufacture because genes for certain enzymes were inserted in the rice genome.

5-Their use may be avoided in favor of integrated pest management (IPM).

6-Scientists inserted the Bt gene into corn to make it resistant to the corn borer.

7-These include recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbS
