Transgenic organisms can be created using different scientific techniques. one area of research involving transgenic organisms is the creation of edible vaccines. scientists are attempting to modify plants such as bananas and potatoes to contain vaccines to diseases such as hepatitis b and the norwalk virus. what kind of technique would scientists use to make edible vaccines? a. hybridization c. inducing of mutations b. inbreeding d. genetic engineering

Recently, crops of vegetables such as lettuce and green onions have been contaminated, while they are still on the farm, with bacteria that cause food poisoning. how will science influence the way the government responds to prevent an increase in food-borne diseases? because science has shown that lettuce and green onions are not nutritionally valuable, the government may pass laws that ban the sale of lettuce and green onions. because science has shown that there is no way to prevent bacterial contamination, the government may pass laws that punish businesses that buy lettuce and green onions. because science has shown that the washing of hands prevent the spread of infectious diseases among people, the government may pass laws that require hand washing by everyone who handles food. because science has shown there are ways to find the source of the contamination, the government may pass laws that require farm practices that reduce the contamination of lettuce and green onions.
