Suppose you are an agricultural geneticist. You and your research group are brainstorming future plant foods that could be devel
oped using selective breeding. This could be either general methods or genetic engineering. From the following list, check all characteristics you would consider when developing new plant foods
resistance to pesticides
addition of genes to make animal protein
resistance to insects, fungi, and other pests
addition of genes to improve color and taste
modifications for specific climates (heat, cold, drought)
modifications for extremely large- or small-sized fruit or vegetable
addition of genes to increase concentrations of essential vitamins
modification of food’s appearance to make it more attractive to consumers
