Question 1 Report

A crop is genetically modified to make its own insect-killing protein. A benefit of this is that there is

Answer Details

If the plant produces its own insect-killing protein, pests that feed on it are killed by the crop itself, so there is less need to spray chemical insecticides, saving money and reducing chemical use. The other options describe things this modification does not do: the crop still needs light for photosynthesis, still has to be harvested to be useful, and still needs water to grow. The benefit follows directly from the engineered trait, built-in pest protection.
