Question

I WIIL GIVE BRAINLIEST
Which type of biotechnology is used by scientists when they alter the DNA of a plant to make it grow faster?

Group of answer choices

Genetic engineering because it is always helpful to society

Artificial selection because the DNA of the plant was changed

Genetic engineering because the genes of the plants were modified

Artificial selection because it always produces desirable traits

Answer 1

Answer:

Genetic engineering because the genes of the plants were modified.

Explanation:

We can eliminate the second and fourth ones right off of the bat because artificial selection is breeding organisms until they display a trait or a series of traits that is desired, but in this situation, the scientist directly altered the DNA. Genetic engineering, just like all other technologies, aren't necessarily helpful to society all of the time; they always have their draw backs. The answer has to be the third one because the DNA is directly altered, just like the answer choice says.
