MARKED BRAINLIEST

Rice is an important food source for much of the world but can only be grown in limited regions of the world. If world climates change as scientists predict, the rice-growing region will become even more limited. Which of the following describes how biotechnology could be used to keep rice harvests from declining? (2 points) Engineering the ability to correct changes in weather patterns to control climate Engineering climate controlled systems to grow rice indoors Genetically engineering rice that can be grown in more varied climates Genetically modifying soil types to better support rice crops

Answer 1

Hi there.

I'm going to go with my gut here.

Genetically engineering rice that can be grown in more varied climates.

This is what I think. Let me know if it turns out right for you :p

Answer 2

Ans.

Genetic engineering involves modification of genetic makeup of an organism, which is directly or indirectly beneficial for humans. Rice plants require tropical climate for optimal growth. Change in world climate would affect rice-growing regions and rice harvesting.

This problem can be solved by using genetic engineering as it can help in deal with climate change. With the help of genetic engineering, the genes responsible for the growth and development of rice plants can be modified to develop rice variety that can sustain more varied climates.

Thus, the correct answer is 'option). genetically engineering rice that can be grown in more varied climates.'
