In the context of solving pollution, what are the advantages of bioremediation?I. Genetic engineering can be used to create microbes designed for bioremediation.II. It enhances the same biodegradation process that occurs in nature.III. Any contaminant with heavy metals can be readily and completely treated by bioremediation using microbes. *1 pointI & IIII & III, II & IIIII & III

Which of the following is a beneficial effect of genetic engineering on the environment and organisms? Group of answer choicesIncrease in the price of products due to high costs of genetic engineering methods.Pesticide resistant crops can transfer their genes to weeds creating pesticide resistant weeds.Some organisms may have allergic reactions to drugs and food produced through genetic engineering.Production of bigger and more productive livestock.

What is the benefit of genetically modified organisms?2 pointsThey may be better looking or more productive/effectiveThey are higher in populationThey are easily reproducedThey live longer/stronger

What are the major barriers to biodegradation as a large-scale plastic disposal method?Group of answer choicesBoth B and C.There is minimal financial incentive to develop biodegradation processes.It is difficult to achieve in practice on a large scale.Secondary pollutants arising from plastic waste will almost certainly remain a problem.
