Question

Toppr Admin · Accepted Answer

Golden rice is a transgenic variety of rice (Oryza sativa) produced through genetic engineering to biosynthesize beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A, in the edible parts of rice. Because many children in countries where there is a dietary deficiency in vitamin A rely on rice as a staple food, the genetic modification to make rice produce the vitamin A precursor beta-carotene is seen as a simple alternative to vitamin supplements or an increase in the consumption of green vegetables or animal products. Vitamin A helps to prevent night blindness.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
