Question

4x Although genetically modified crops have been on the scene for many years.there still remains a large gap between the public sector and biotechnology research and development firms.Most recently, the development of golden rice has been stalled. Golden rice has been genetically modified to increase the production of beta carotene. Beta carotene is a dietary essential that is lacking in the diets of people who live in poverty. Found in vitamin A. this deficiency has lead to partial or total blindness in over half a million children world wide. Although medical and social research suggest the need for golden rice, certain beliefs hinder its production and distribution, as well as the continued research and development of genetically modified crops. They include all but A A the unknown impacts on ecosystems B genetic transfer to unintended crops C improvements in both plant and animal food resources. D D genetically modified foods are detrimental human health.

Answer 1

## Step 1The problem presents a situation where genetically modified crops, specifically golden rice, are being hindered due to certain beliefs. The task is to identify the belief that does not hinder the production and distribution of golden rice.## Step 2The options A, B, and D all present potential concerns or fears about genetically modified crops. These include unknown impacts on ecosystems, genetic transfer to unintended crops, and the belief that genetically modified foods are detrimental to human health.## Step 3Option C, however, presents a positive outcome of genetically modified crops, specifically the improvement in both plant and animal food resources. This is not a belief that would hinder the production and distribution of golden rice, but rather a potential benefit.
