A promoter of a new genetically modified variety of rice stated the following in a letter to the editor: A genetically modified (GM) rice known as “golden rice” has been produced. The rice is somewhat yellow in colour due to the same pigment that gives carrots and sweet potatoes their colour. This pigment is beta-carotene, which can be converted by the body to vitamin A. Vitamin A deficiency is the cause of 500 000 cases of irreversible blindness each year. By growing the new GM rice and making it widely available to people in poor countries, these cases of blindness could be avoided. Think of several different groups or individuals with an interest in the issue raised in this letter. Make a table to identify alternatives/perspectives. The table should list at least three stakeholders and their perspectives or viewpoints. Answer: (4 marks) 39. Name four GM crops or organisms. For each example, describe a characteristic that has been improved by its genetic modification. Answer: Submit your completed Assignment Booklet A2 to your teacher for assessment.
