Question 27 • * SY2025-26 - 2002070 M/J Comprehensive Science 2 Sem 1 CR

Janelle thinks that genetic engineering could be used to make a larger fruit rather than cloning the fruit.

Answer
A
Genetic engineering does not cost as much.
B
Genetic engineering does not result in genetically identical organisms.
C
Genetically engineered foods never cause allergies in people.
D
Genetically engineered foods have not been modified.

Explanation

Cloning makes a genetically identical copy of an existing organism, so it would not introduce a new trait such as larger fruit. Genetic engineering changes an organism’s genetic material to produce desired traits, and the resulting organism is not necessarily genetically identical to the original. Therefore, the best reason is that genetic engineering does not result in genetically identical organisms.
