Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is one potential benefit of transgenic plants?
  • Step 1: Understand what transgenic plants are. They are plants that have been genetically modified to include genes from other organisms.
  • Step 2: Identify one benefit of transgenic plants. One benefit is that they can be made to resist pests.
  • Step 3: Explain how pest resistance helps. When plants resist pests, they are less likely to be damaged by insects.
  • Step 4: Connect pest resistance to crop yields. With less damage from pests, farmers can grow more healthy plants, leading to higher crop yields.
