Plants genetically engineered to make them resistant to glyphosate was an important achievement because:

1.  glyphosate promotes frost damage
2.  glyphosate encourages the production of fruit that is lower in protein
3.  glyphosate is the active ingredient in herbicides
4.  glyphosate prevents the transfer of genes into the plants

Bacteria that are unable to synthesize chemicals that allow the formation of ice crystals have been engineered. Commercial fruit farmers can spray this bacterial strain on their fruit plants, with the idea that they will compete with unmodified bacteria and reduce frost damage. This is an example of:
