Question

Scientists have found ways of inserting favorable genes into plants such as tomatoes, beans or corn to make the fruit of the plant less appetizing to insect pests. Another inserted gene allows the plant to survive heavy doses of chemical sprays that farmers sometimes use to control weeds in the fields. A farmer decides to use the genetically modified crops described above. What should the farmer using the genetically modified plants experience?
Group of answer choices


decreased crop yield


longer growing season


decreased use of pesticides


smaller growing area

Answer 1

Answer:

Decreased use of pesticide.

Explanation:

If there is only one answer the one above^ is the one that I would go with.

The questions asks about a GMO that makes a plant less appealing to insects and is more resilient to weed killing chemicals.  Because it is less appealing to bugs to eat, there would be less of a need for pesticides.  Personally, I do not feel as though there is enough evidence in the question to draw a conclusion on the other answers provided.
