Identify the accurate statement regarding genetically modified (GM) crops from the options below, considering the complex dynamics associated with their development.
GM crops can be precisely engineered to possess resistance against specific pests, offering targeted protection.
GM crops contribute to an overall reduction in pesticide usage, aligning with sustainable agricultural practices.
GM crops have the potential to cause adverse effects on beneficial insects, including bees and other essential pollinators.
Regulatory oversight and governance of GM crops are dispensable, given their inherent safety and benefits.
Answers (1)
GM crops can indeed be customized and modified to exhibit resistance against specific pests. This is achieved by introducing genes or traits that confer natural resistance mechanisms, allowing the plants to withstand pest attacks and minimize crop losses. The process of genetic modification enables the incorporation of targeted pest-resistance genes, providing a more precise and effective approach compared to conventional breeding methods.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
