PLEASE HELP!!

Two methods of biotechnology used by scientists are described below.
Method X: Used genetic engineering to create a crop of corn that grows faster and is pest resistant
Method Y: Used artificial selection to create a new breed of dog that sheds less
Which method is likely to be more advantageous in agriculture?
O Method X because it increases the available food supply
Method X because it protects the corn from diseases
Method Y because it increases genetic diversity of dogs
Method Y because it increases biodiversity of dogs

Respuesta :

The genetic engineering is used to create a crop of corn that grows faster and is pest resistance is more advantageous in agriculture as it increases the available food supply.

What is genetic engineering?

  • "It is a process that uses laboratory-based technologies to alter the DNA makeup of an organism."
  • Its genotypic and phenotypic traits are different from that to their parents.
  • This is generally done to get the desired quality in offspring.

What do you mean by pest resistance?

  • "Pest resistance describes the decreased susceptibility of a pest population to a pesticide that was previously effective at controlling the pest."
  • The plants having pest resistance feature are less vulnerable to the pests.
  • The plants do get damage by these pests. And its productivity increases.

Hence, the correct method is X because it increases the available food supply.
