Which of the following are positive impacts that genetically modified chickens have on society? Select all that apply.

Question

Group of answer choices

production of proteins that cure all diseases

improved medical care for humans

production of pharmaceuticals that cannot be manufactured

increasing numbers of GMOs in communities

Answer 1

The positive impacts that genetically modified chickens have on society from the options provided are:

1. Improved medical care for humans - This can result from advancements in medical research enabled by genetically modified organisms (GMOs) that can produce therapeutic proteins.

2. Production of pharmaceuticals that cannot be manufactured - Genetically modified chickens can be engineered to produce specific proteins or antibodies that are difficult or costly to produce using traditional methods.

The other options:

• Production of proteins that cure all diseases is overly broad and not accurate, as no single protein can cure all diseases.
• Increasing numbers of GMOs in communities does not inherently represent a positive impact, as this could lead to concerns regarding biodiversity, food security, or ecological impacts.

Thus, the best selections for positive impacts are improved medical care for humans and production of pharmaceuticals that cannot be manufactured.
