Answer 1

The improved trait that is found in the genetically modified transgenic crop - Golden rice is high vitamin-A content.

Explanation:

Golden rice is a rice type that has undergone genetic improvement. It includes more beta-carotene than regular rice cultivars. It improves rice's nutritional value by converting beta-carotene into vitamin A, which is required for excellent vision. The presence of beta-carotene causes the rice grains to turn yellow. As a result, it is commonly known as golden rice.
