A gene that codes for resistance to glyphosate, a biodegradable weed killer, has been inserted into certain plants. as a result, these plants will be more likely to

These weeds will be more likely to survive than others if glyphosate is present

The options in the question are missing, the options are:

(1) produce chemicals that kill weeds growing near them

(2) die when exposed to glyphosate

(3) convert glyphosate into fertilizer

(4) survive when glyphosate is applied to them

The answer is 4

Explanation:

According to the question, glyphosate is a weed killer (herbicide) i. e. it kills plants when applied to them. However, when a gene that codes for resistance to glyphosate is inserted into the genome of certain plants, the gene confers resistance to glyphosate on the plants.

This resistance makes the plants with the resistant genes to survive whenever glyphosate is applied to them as the herbicide will no longer be effective against the plants with the resistant gene.
