Question 8 • * SY2025-26 - 2002070 M/J Comprehensive Science 2 Sem 1 CR

Which statements are true about genetic technologies? Check all that apply.All risk factors to the modified organisms are well known.Eating genetically modified organisms is always safe.Genetically engineered crops can be produced at lowered costs.Some genetically engineered crops are resistant to harsh weather.Genetically modified organisms may be harmful to people.

Answer
A
All risk factors to the modified organisms are well known.
B
Eating genetically modified organisms is always safe.
C
Genetically engineered crops can be produced at lowered costs.
D
Some genetically engineered crops are resistant to harsh weather.
E
Genetically modified organisms may be harmful to people.

Explanation

Genetic engineering can lower production costs, for example by creating crops that need fewer pesticides, and some engineered crops are designed to tolerate harsh conditions such as drought. Genetically modified organisms may also pose health risks, so it is not accurate to claim that eating them is always safe. The risks are not all known for every modified organism, making statement A too absolute.
