There are many concerns over the use of chemical pesticides in the prevention of crop damage caused by insects. With new biotechnology, farmers are able to select seeds that produce natural pesticides: Which statement describes the best advantage for both, farmers and the environment through using genetically modified seeds? (SC.7L.16.4) Plants grown from the seeds will require less treatment with chemicals Consumers will pay less for the food grown from these genetically engineered seeds Native plants will cross-breed with the genetically engineered plants, causing them to produce seeds that are resistant to insects. Insects will become resistant to the natural pesticides produced by the new seeds, making the genetically engineered seeds vulnerable to insects.

There are many concerns over the use of chemical pesticides in the prevention of crop damage caused by insects. With new biotechnology, farmers are able to select seeds that produce natural pesticides: Which statement describes the best advantage for both, farmers and the environment through using genetically modified seeds?

Insects will become resistant to the natural pesticides produced by the new seeds, making the genetically engineered seeds vulnerable to insects.

Answer 1

The best advantage for both farmers and the environment through using genetically modified seeds is that plants grown from the seeds will require less treatment with chemicals. This is because the seeds have been genetically modified to produce natural pesticides, reducing the need for chemical pesticides. This not only benefits the farmers by reducing their costs and efforts in pest control, but also benefits the environment by reducing the amount of harmful chemicals used in agriculture.
