NEET · Biology · STD 12 - 10. biotechnology and its application
The crops engineered for glyphosate are resistant/tolerant to
- A insects
- B herbicides
- C fungi
- D bacteria.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) herbicides
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(b) : Glyphosate is a broad spectrum herbicide which especially kills broad leaved herbs. Crop plants may also get affected by the herbicide, thus now crop plants are genetically engineered for glyphosate resistance. So, when glyphosate herbicide is applied, only weeds and no crop plants get harmed.
