Aresearcher changes the dna in a soybean plant so that it produces offspring with a resistance to weed killer. which best describes this scenario? genetic engineering gene therapy cloning selective breeding

Ans.

Roundup ready soybean is a modified soybean variety, which has been produced by introducing foreign DNA molecule, along with enzyme, which shows resistance against the herbicide by using genetic engineering techniques.

It shows resistance against a herbicide, glyphosate, which is used in agriculture to kill unwanted weeds. Hence, when herbicide is applied in the field, it would kill weeds only, while soybeans plants would remain unaffected.

Thus, the correct answer is option). 'genetic engineering.'

The answer is not 49.6% and 55.3%. I just got it incorrect on my test. (Plato)
