What is the purpose of photosynthesis? A. To release carbon monoxide B. To make sugars and store energy C. To break down sugars and give energy D. To create oxygen for animals to breathe

B.

Explanation:

The main purpose of the photosynthesis process is to make sugars and store energy. Since plants take up carbon dioxide and solar energy in order to create chemical energy (glucose) for future use. In doing so they release oxygen into the atmosphere which we humans use in order to breath and create more carbon dioxide. Which makes up the process of photosynthesis.

the last one: artificial selection/genetic engineering

plant breeding is modifying the genetic composition of the plant - but this isn't cloning (which is specifically introducing a gene into a genome). but you are artificially selecting for the phenotype that you want.

the second one is literally genetic engineering - the gene would have been cloned first and then inserted or genetically engineered into the new plant cell (the cotton).
