Response of GMOs to resist climate change
Since organisms have evolved over time to live in specificenvironments, any change in abiotic factors, such as precipitationand temperature, make it difficult for organisms to adapt to thesechanges. Scientists are working on several types of plants that canresist these changes. Select all of the following that are examplesof plants that have been modified to resist effects of climatechange.
A) Wheat plants are modified to increase photosynthesis inresponse to changing carbon dioxide levels.
B) Agricultural plants are not affected since they are able toshift their distribution patterns to diminish the impacts ofclimate change.
C) Corn and soybean varieties that are drought resistanthelp plant growth in changing precipitation patterns.
D) Rice has been adapted to lower salinity levels in watersupplies as a result of changes in precipitation patterns.
E) As carbon dioxide and methane increases, sea grasses andtrees are modified to increase their ability to store carbon toreduce atmospheric carbon dioxide levels.
