Pertanyaan

Genetic engineering of the human food supply is a highly contentious issue, with credentialed scientists arguing on each side. Most likely the controversy will continue. The effort by biotech companies to genetically modify food will continue to increase and resistance by consumers to genetically modified food will continue to grow. PRO: Genetic engineering is a valuable new technology that can develop more plentiful and nutritious foods, with great potential benefits for humanity and the environment, and this new scientific discovery needs to be implemented as quickly as possible for humanitarian reasons. CON: As with every new scientific technology, harmful side effects of genetic engineering are inevitable and great care should be taken in its implementation, including carefully controlled long-term tests on human health and environmental impacts. PRO: Genetic engineering is a natural extension of traditional breeding; just as conventional breeding allows us to combine valuable traits within closely related species, genetic engineering allows scientists to access genes from a broader range of organisms to produce more valuable and productive crops and livestock. CON: Genetic engineering uses artificial laboratory techniques, rather than natural reproductive mechanisms, techniques which breach natural reproductive barriers and combine genes from distant species in ways that could never occur in nature suddenly altering genetic patterns that have developed over millions of years, and greatly increasing the likelihood of unanticipated side effects. 24. Which statement is true according to the text? a. Proponents of genetic engineering say it enables the production of more abundant and nourishing foods. b. Proponents of genetic engineering say it is different from traditional breeding. c. Opponents of genetic engineering say the implementation of the technology should be ignored. d. Opponents of genetic engineering say it has no side effects.

Jawaban yang tepat adalah A. Proponents of genetic engineering say it enables the production of more abundant and nourishing foods. Soal diatas meminta kita untuk memilih pernyataan yang benar sesuai dengan teks diatas. Dalam teks disebutkan beberapa pro dan kontra penggunaan modifikasi genetik untuk suplai makanan manusia. Issu ini merupakan hal yang cukup kontroversial, dimana makanan yang dimodifikasi secara genetik akan terus berkembang, sedangkan penolakan konsumen terhadap makanan yang dimodifikasi secara genetik juga akan terus berlanjut. Berdasarkan teks tersebut, pernyataan yang tepat adalah A. “Proponents of genetic engineering say it enables the production of more abundant and nourishing foods”, yang artinya “pendukung modifikasi genetik mengatakan, modifikasi genetik mampu memproduksi makanan yang lebih banyak dan lebih bergizi”. Hal ini sesuai dengan teks “Genetic engineering is a valuable new technology that can develop more plentiful and nutritious foods”, yang artinya “Modifikasi genetik adalah teknologi baru yang bernilai untuk menghasilkan makanan yang lebih banyak dan bergizi”. Sedangkan, pilihan B. “Proponents of genetic engineering say it is different from traditional breeding” berarti “Pendukung modifikasi genetik mengatakan bahwa modifikasi genetik berbeda dengan pembiakan alami”. Hal ini tidak sesuai dengan teks, karena dalam teks tertulis “Genetic engineering is a natural extension of traditional breeding; just as conventional breeding”, yang berarti “Modifikasi genetik adalah perpanjangan alami dari pembiakan tradisional, seperti pembiakan dengan cara lama”. Pilihan C. “Opponents of genetic engineering say the implementation of the technology should be ignored” memiliki arti “Penentang modifikasi genetik mengatakan bahwa implementasi teknologi ini harus diabaikan”. Hal ini tidak sesuai, karena dalam teks disebutkan “great care should be taken in its implementation, including carefully controlled long-term tests on human health and environmental impacts” yang berarti “perhatian besar harus diberikan dalam implementasinya, termasuk pengujian dalam waktu lama terhadap kesehatan manusia dan dampak lingkungan secara hati-hati.” Artinya, implementasi modifikasi genetik bukannya diabaikan, namun perlu diperhatikan dan dikontrol secara hati-hati. Pilihan D. “Opponents of genetic engineering say it has no side effects” memiliki arti “Penentang modifikasi genetik mengatakan bahwa modifikasi genetik tidak memiliki efek samping. Hal ini tidak sesuai, karena dalam teks disebutkan “As with every new scientific technology, harmful side effects of genetic engineering are inevitable” yang berarti “Seperti setiap teknologi ilmiah yang baru, efek samping berbahaya dari modifikasi genetik tidak dapat dihindari”. Jadi, penentang modifikasi genetik percaya bahwa modifikasi genetik dapat menghasilkan efek samping. Jadi, dari semua pilihan tersebut, yang sesuai dengan teks adalah A. Proponents of genetic engineering say it enables the production of more abundant and nourishing foods.
