Question 6 • CMS 2026-2027 Biology CREDIT RECOVERY

Which statement best explains why the process of genetic engineering is important to the scientific community?

Answer

Genetic engineering is a research tool that can advance the usefulness of recombinant DNA.

Genetic engineering provides an increased cost to laboratory work resulting in more advances.

Genetic engineering can enhance the taste of food for consumers.

Genetic engineering provides crops that are less expensive to grow.

Explanation

Genetic engineering lets scientists alter an organism’s DNA, making it a valuable tool for studying genes and developing applications of recombinant DNA. This broad research benefit best explains its importance to the scientific community. Lower crop costs or improved food taste may be useful outcomes, but they do not describe its central scientific role.
