Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Introducing genetically modified crops can create crops that can grow on land previously unsuitable for agriculture, increase crop yield, create crops with better nutritional attributes, and potentially create crops with better potential for biofuel production. However, there is no evidence to suggest that introducing genetically modified crops would decrease the mutation rate of certain genes, making option V incorrect.
