Question

Study the following lists:

• A. A - II, B - V, C - I, D - IV
• B. A - II, B - III, C - IV, D - I
• C. A - III, B - I, C - V, D - II
• D. A - II, B - IV, C - I, D - V

Hint:

When matching transgenic crops to their traits, recall the specific pathogen, pest, or chemical stressor they are engineered against. Bt = Insect, Roundup Ready = Herbicide, and virus resistance is often crop-specific.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Matching Transgenic papaya (A).
Transgenic papaya was developed to resist Ringspot virus. \(\Rightarrow\) A - II Step 2: Matching Bt - cotton (B).
Bt cotton is engineered to produce an insecticidal protein (Bt toxin) effective against pests. \(\Rightarrow\) B - IV Step 3: Matching Roundup Ready soybean (C).
This variety is genetically modified for herbicide resistance (glyphosate). \(\Rightarrow\) C - I Step 4: Matching Transgenic Tomato (D).
Transgenic tomatoes were developed with resistance to Pseudomonas. \(\Rightarrow\) D - V
