Which is an advantage of using dna technology? a. phytoremediation b. gene transfer to non-target species c. unknown effects d. reduced effectiveness of pesticides

The answer is A. phytoremediation.

Phytoremediation is a technique that uses of living plants for the treatment of environmental problems. The aid is to remove, degrade or store contaminants in water and soils. DNA technology is a great help in phytoremediation. Using DNA technology transgenic plants can be produced. Transgenic plants have some genes modified or transplanted from another species. This way, they are „produced“ to have features necessary for phytoremediation.
