Which of these is not an advantage is genetically modified crops?
- A Increase efficiency of material usage in plants.
- B Reduces the reliance on chemical pesticides.
- C Enhances the nutritional value of food.
- D Increases the post harvest losses.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Increases the post harvest losses.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(D) Increases the post harvest losses.,
Genetically modified crops are plants whose DNA has been modified through genetic engineering for imbedding a new trait to the plant which does not occur naturally in the species. It improves nutritional quality of crops. It reduces the use of pesticide and insecticide during farming. It can feed a rapidly increasing population. It could not be used for increasing the post-harvest loss.
