25. Hundreds of genetically modified mosquitoes that are incapable of spreading the malaria parasite to humans have been created in a laboratory as part of a radical approach to combating the disease. The move marks a major step towards the development of a powerful technology called a ‘gene drive’ that aims to tackle the disease by forcing anti-malarial genes into swarms of wild mosquitoes. The procedure can rapidly transform the genetic makeup of natural insect populations, making it a dramatic new tool in the fight against an infection that still claims over 400,000 lives a year. The conclusion here depends on which of the following assumptions?
1) Gene drive technology has great potential to help tackle malaria.
2) Drug and insecticide resistance are eroding recent successes in managing malaria.
3) This technology can be considered for other human diseases and infections that devastate crops.
4) The modified insects will breed with normal mosquitoes and pass the anti-malarial genes on to their young.
