Uses for genetic engineering include: increasing plant food production decreasing animal food production improving medical treatment increasing industrial waste

Increasing plant food production.

Improving medical treatment.

Explanation:

Genetic engineering is a sub-field of biotechnology. It is involves the manipulation of genome of the organism by either inserting new genes or deleting genes which are responsible for abnormal traits, diseases and disorders.

Among the options given, the following are correct.

Increasing plant food production. : Some new genes may be inserted in plants which can help in developing traits which can improve in increasing their yield.

Improving medical treatment. : This may involve deletion or inserting of genes to make the organism fit for survival.

type 2 happens when excess consumption of high-sugar foods flood the blood supply with glucose and reduce the production and effectiveness of insulin. if a person has prediabetes, they can reduce the risk of full diabetes through regular exercise and a balanced, low-sugar diet.

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.  

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."
