PLEASE HELP M!! ITS REALLY URGENT! ILL MAKE U BRAILIEST!! ripe tomatoes are naturally soft and can become damaged or rot while in transit to markets. in the past, to solve this problem, tomatoes were picked when they were not yet ripe. the green tomatoes were firm enough to handle the transit and then were sprayed with ethylene gas, which causes them to artificially ripen. they turn a nice red color but are rather tasteless.
A. How was genetic engineering able to solve the problem of tomatoes being damaged in transit without sacrificing taste?
B. What was the problem with this genetic engineering solution.
