Question

What could be a benefit of a genetically modified organism?
It could transfer its genes to its relatives in the wild.
It could produce a desired product in larger quantities and less expensively than other methods
It could cause an allergic response.
It could transfer its genes to a human host.

Answer 1

It could produce a desired product in larger quantities and less expensively than other methods.

(Options 1, 3 and 4 describe potential risks — gene flow to wild relatives, allergic reactions, or horizontal transfer to humans — not benefits.)
