Why is Golden Rice pale yellow in color?

  • A.Rich in beta-carotene
  • B.Rich in phycobilins
  • C.Rich in chlorophyll
  • D.None

Answer: A

Golden rice is pale yellow because it is rich in beta-carotene.

It was engineered to make beta-carotene in the endosperm, which ordinary rice does not, so that the grain supplies vitamin A. It was intended to address the deficiency that causes childhood blindness in rice-eating populations.
