Scientists have produced a genetically engineered orange tree that is resistant to disease. Which of the following is the best example of a potential benefit to society that could result from this biotechnology?
using yeast to ferment foods
artificial selection
increase in orange crop yield
Artificial selection does not directly change a single organism's DNA.
the treatment of wastewater with microbes
copying the genetic material from one cell and inserting it in another cell, resulting in two genetically-identical cells
the engineering of rice crops to withstand flooding and contain more nutrients
the application of living things and biological processes
