Best answer
Answer: A. shelf life
Answer: (a) shelf life
In the Flavr Savr tomato the gene for polygalacturonase, the enzyme that breaks down pectin of the cell wall during ripening, is silenced (antisense RNA). The fruit therefore softens slowly, stays fresh longer and has a longer shelf life with better flavour.
