The crops engineered for glyphosate are resistant/tolerant to:
Correct answer: B. Herbicides
- A. Insects
- B. Herbicides
- C. Fungi
- D. Bacteria
Explanation
Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum herbicide that especially kills broad-leaved herbs. Crop plants may also get affected by the herbicide, thus now crop plants are genetically engineered for glyphosate resistance. So, when glyphosate herbicide is applied, only weeds and no crop plants get harmed.
