Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Tomato

The correct answer is Tomato.

• Flavr Savr is a genetically modified Tomato.

• Flavr Savr, a genetically modified tomato, was the first commercially grown genetically engineered food to be granted a license for human consumption.
  • It was produced by the Californian company Calgene and submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1992.
  • Tomatoes have a short shelf-life in which they remain firm and ripe.
  • This lifetime may be shorter than the time needed for them to reach the market.
