3. PART A: Which two ideas about genetic modification are

developed by the author in "Carrots with Character"?

A Genetic modification can increase the nutritional

value of carrots

B Changing the color of carrots has increased their

popularity with consumers.

People can increase the amount of nutrients in their

diets with carrots that have been genetically

modified

D Breeding different colors of carrots is an old process

but only now can people also modify their nutritional

value,

E Eye health is a major reason to support the genetic

modification of carrots.

Genetic modification of carrots has proven how

specific genes lead to changes in carrot color and

nutritional value.

The ideas about genetic modification include:

Genetic modification simply refers to the technique that's used to change the features of a plant or animal by transferring a piece of DNA from an organism to another organism.

Based on the article, it can be inferred that genetic modification can increase the nutritional value of carrots and that people can increase the amount of nutrients in their diets with carrots that have been genetically modified.

Explanation:

The article "Carrots with Character" shows how, through genetic modification, some scientists were able to modify the DNA of carrots, so that they could develop greater amounts of beta-carotene in their composition. As a result, cenpuras become more nutritious, since beta-carotene is the precursor to vitamin A, which is extremely important in our body. With that we can conclude that through biotechnology, scientists can create vegetables that will provide more nutrients to people.

In summary, we can say that the main ideas defended in this article are:
