Norman Borlaug developed high-yield crop varieties by using conventional breeding techniques. Moreover, agricultural biotechnology corporations use DNA recombinant technologies to improve crop yield.
Norman Borlaug was an American agronomist who developed high-yield semi-dwarf crops (i.e., wheat and rice) varieties during the 60s by crossing different crop varieties.
This period of time was known as the 'Green Revolution' and led Borlaug to win the Nobel Peace Prize because his work helped to alleviate hunger in developing countries.
Moreover, current agricultural biotechnology corporations use DNA recombinant technologies to develop genetically modified organisms, which exhibit desired traits for agriculture (for example, resistance to drought or high grain yield).
A genetically modified organism is any organism (e.g., a plant) whose genetic material has been altered by using DNA recombinant technologies.

Answer:
The decision of an ethics review committee about Dr. Franklin's research proposal is:
A:The proposal is approved, as it meets the ethical guidelines defined by the APA.
Explanation:
APA (American Psychological Association) has ethical guidelines for conducting psychological researches. The most relevant one in this case is: "follow informed-consent rules." Dr. Franklin clearly ensures that his students give their consents to participate in the eyewitness testimony study by having each sign a form to agree to participate in the research. I am also sure that the confidentiality and privacy of subjects (students who participate in the research) will be highly protected, in line with another guideline of APA, because these issues have not raised any controversy.
