Transcript text: Bioengineered golden rice has more vitamin C than traditional rice.
Solution
The answer is False: Bioengineered golden rice has more vitamin C than traditional rice.
Explanation:
Golden rice is genetically modified to produce beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A, in the rice grains. The primary goal of golden rice is to address vitamin A deficiency, not vitamin C deficiency.
There is no evidence or claim that golden rice has been engineered to contain more vitamin C than traditional rice. Vitamin C is not a focus of the modifications made to golden rice.
Therefore, the statement that bioengineered golden rice has more vitamin C than traditional rice is false.
