Question 1Multiple ChoiceWhat is a GMO?A naturally occurring organismAn organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineeringAn organism that has been selectively bredA type of pesticide
Question 2Multiple ChoiceWhy are terminator seeds controversial?They produce plants that are immune to pestsThey produce sterile plants, requiring farmers to buy new seeds annuallyThey increase crop yields significantlyThey enhance the nutritional value of crops
Question 3Multiple ChoiceWhat is gene flow in the context of GMOs?The process of selective breedingThe mixing of GM crops with traditional cropsThe creation of new GM traitsThe self-pollination of crops
Question 4Multiple ChoiceWhat has been the scientific consensus on the safety of eating GMOs after more than 30 years of research?They are more dangerous than non-GMOsThey are less nutritious than non-GMOsThey are as safe as non-GMOsThey should be banned
Question 5Multiple ChoiceWhat is the purpose of the BT protein in GM crops?To increase the size of the fruitTo produce a protein that destroys the digestive system of specific insect pestsTo enhance the flavor of the cropsTo make the crops drought-resistant
Question 6Multiple ChoiceWhat is a major concern related to the widespread use of herbicide-resistant GM crops?Increased crop yieldsGreater reliance on a single herbicideImproved soil fertilityEnhanced nutritional content
Question 7Multiple ChoiceWhy did the introduction of GM eggplant in Bangladesh significantly reduce pesticide use?The GM eggplant was more nutritiousIt produced its own pesticideFarmers switched to organic farmingThe soil quality improved
Question 8Multiple ChoiceHow did GM papaya save the Hawaiian papaya industry?By increasing fruit sizeBy making the papayas drought-resistantBy vaccinating the papayas against the ringspot virusBy improving the taste of papayas
Question 9Multiple ChoiceWhat is one potential environmental benefit of GM crops that can draw nitrogen from the air?Reducing the need for chemical fertilizersIncreasing crop yieldsMaking crops more drought-resistantEnhancing the flavor of crops
Question 10Multiple ChoiceWhat is the anticipated global food demand increase by 2050 according to a UN estimate?10%30%50%70%
Question 11Multiple ChoiceHow do BT crops differ from traditional crops in terms of pesticide use?BT crops produce their own pesticideBT crops require more pesticideBT crops are less resistant to pestsBT crops enhance the flavor of crops
Question 12Multiple ChoiceWhat is a common method to minimize unintentional crossing between GM and non-GM crops?Using more pesticidesImplementing buffer zonesIncreasing crop densityShortening the growing season
Question 13Multiple ChoiceWhat is a significant advantage of GMOs in combating climate change?Producing more flavorful cropsIncreasing crop yieldsDeveloping crops that are more resilient to climate changeReducing the cost of farming
Question 14Multiple ChoiceWhat is one of the main criticisms of GMOs that is actually a criticism of modern agriculture?Increased crop diversityUnsustainable farming practicesHigher nutritional contentReduced pesticide use
Question 15Multiple ChoiceWhat could GMOs potentially become as farming intensifies rather than expands?The new organicLess efficientMore expensiveLess nutritious
Question 16Multiple ChoiceWhy is glyphosate use a concern in the context of GMOs?It is extremely toxic to humansIt is the only herbicide availableIts increased use has led to over-reliance on this herbicideIt reduces crop yields
Question 17Multiple ChoiceWhat is a potential benefit of GM crops in terms of soil fertility?Reducing the need for fertilizersIncreasing the need for fertilizersDecreasing crop yieldsMaking soil more acidic
Question 18Multiple ChoiceWhat is the impact of GM crops on pesticide use in certain cases?Increased pesticide useNo impact on pesticide useReduced pesticide usePesticide use becomes unnecessary
Question 19Multiple ChoiceWhat was a significant outcome of the introduction of GM papayas in Hawaii?Increased papaya importsCollapse of the papaya industryProtection against the ringspot virusHigher pesticide use
Question 20Multiple ChoiceWhat is one of the future potentials of GMOs mentioned in the video?Producing crops with higher carbon emissionsCreating plants that can reverse climate changeMaking crops more vulnerable to pestsReducing the nutritional content of food
