Genetic engineering has been a debatable topic in science as many people are only aware of its risk than benefits. Which among the scenarios below are the benefits of using GMOs?

I. Genetic engineering in food can be used to alter genes in crops leading to new diseases in pants.

II. Genetic engineering in crops such as rice, corn and tomato can be used to obtain new strains with better nutritional qualities.

III. Genetic engineering in food can be used to create totally the same substances such as proteins and other food nutrients.

IV. Genetic engineering can be used to increase the immunity to diseases in plants leading to  uncontrolled transfer of the resistance genes to the harmful pathogens.

 

 

V. Genetic engineering can restrict the diversity in organisms.

VI. Genetic engineering can be used to suppress  negative traits in human like certain genetic diseases.
