Question

Golden rice developed through the transgene approach is enriched with
(a) High lysine content
(b) High methionine content
(c) High glutenin content
(d) High vitamin A content

Answer 1

The process of introducing foreign deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) into the genome of a host organism is known as transgenics. The foreign DNA, or "transgene," that is transferred to the recipient can come from other members of the same species or different species altogether.

Complete answer:
Golden rice is an example of a transgenic plant species. In Southeast Asia alone, five million children developed xerophthalmia, a vitamin A deficiency-related medical condition, in 1997. A quarter-million of those children became blind. To counteract this, researchers used biolistics to introduce the daffodil phytoene synthase gene into Asian rice cultivars.
Option A: High lysine content: High-protein foods, such as meat, cheese, and legumes, are the best sources of lysine. Grains are poor sources of lysine due to their low protein content. High-protein grains like wheat, on the other hand, can significantly boost your lysine intake.
Option B: High methionine content: Methionine is abundant in eggs, meat, and fish, as well as sesame seeds, Brazil nuts, and other plant seeds, and cereal grains. The majority of fruits and vegetables have very little.
Option C: High glutenin content: Gluten is found in the highest concentration in wheat-based foods. Wheat flour, on the other hand, is frequently added to foods, so if you're avoiding gluten, it's important to read nutrition labels. This includes rolls, buns, bagels, biscuits, and flour tortillas (unless they are labeled "gluten-free").
Option D: High vitamin A content: Golden rice is a rice variety (Oryza sativa) that has been genetically modified to produce, a precursor to vitamin A, in the edible parts of the plant. The goal of the research that led to the development of golden rice was to help children who were deficient in vitamin A. (VAD).

Thus, the answer is option D: High vitamin A content.

Note: Many different types of transgenic or genetically modified organisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, are used in research. Plants, insects, fish, and mammals (including humans) have all been bred to be transgenic. In some countries, transgenic plants such as corn and soybean have replaced wild strains in agriculture (e.g. the United States).
