The prompt asks to complete a sentence about Genetically Modified (GM) Crops with ONE WORD from the lecture. The visible portion reads: 'Due to biotechnology, GM crops (18) Answer Question 5[input] pesticides like Roundup.'

First, I note there are no answer options provided, so we cannot evaluate multiple possibilities directly. In situations like this, we infer what the lecturer likely emphasized regarding GM crops and pesticide use.

A common claim in GMO biology is that certain GM crops are engineered to affect pesticide use either by reducing the need for chemical applications or by enabling the use of specific herbicides more effectively. If the sentence is intended to convey that biotechnology changes the amount of pesticide required, a plausible verb would be a verb like reduce, lower, or decrease. These terms would grammatically and conceptually fit into: 'Due to biotechnology, GM crops reduce pesticides like Roundup.'

Evaluating potential options conceptually:
- If the missing word were 'increase' or 'maximize', the sentence would imply GM crops cause more pesticide use, which contradicts the common goal of GM traits such as pest resistance or herbicide tolerance aimed at decreasing chemical applications.
- If the missing word were 'eliminate' or 'abolish', the claim would be stronger than typically stated; most discussions acknowledge reductions rather than complete elimination of pesticides.
- If the missing word were 'utilize' or 'use', the sentence would read awkwardly and not clearly express a change in quantity, which is a key point in discussions about GM crops and pesticides.

Given these considerations, the most likely intended meaning is that GM crops reduce pesticide usage, which aligns with standard educational framing about the environmental and agronomic impacts of GM traits.

If you have access to the lecture transcript or slide deck, I would recommend checking the exact verb used there to ensure alignment with the instructor's phrasing. Since no answer options are provided here, use the reasoning above to guide your choice and verify against the course material for the precise one-word completion.
