Determine whether the following statements concerninggenetically modified crops and crop yield are true or false.
a. Due to the low projections concerning human population growthand the unlimited amount of farmable land, there is a need toincrease crop yield to provide food to the growing population indeveloped and developing nations.
b. Selective breeding provides a quicker and more preciseway to achieve certain desirable traits in crops in one generationrather than multiple generations using genetic engineering.
c. An example of a GM crop includes apple varieties containingmanmade genes that produce a pesticide that kills larval pests.This modification decreases the loss of crops due to predation.
d. Another example of a GM crop is soybeans. The legume has aninserted gene that renders them resistant to weed killers such asRoundup to decrease the losses of plants from herbicides.
e. There is a consensus that genetic modifications to plantsincrease the yield of crops per acre, but there is debate on howmuch due to disagreements on how yield per acre are calculated.
