Question 2 • CMS 2026-2027 Biology CREDIT RECOVERY

When exposed to air, the flesh of apples turn brown. Arctic apples are a result of introducing an anti-browning gene in the apple’s genetic makeup. Which technology was most likely used to produce the anti-browning property of the Arctic apple?

Answer
A
xenotransplantation
B
genetic engineering
C
Bt gene production
D
half-life determination

Explanation

The anti-browning property was produced by changing the apple’s genetic makeup by introducing a gene that reduces browning. Using genes to give an organism a desired trait is genetic engineering. Half-life determination measures radioactive decay, xenotransplantation moves tissue or organs between species, and Bt gene production is associated with insect resistance.
