Honeybees can detect a variety of odorants through olfactory receptors on their antennae. You genetically engineer a receptor to be gated by the explosive chemical TNT, and use a transgene to express the receptor in honeybee olfactory neurons. What would this provide to the bee?  

Honeybees have an incredible ability to distinguish thousands of different odorant molecules, using their large repertoire of olfactory receptors. A wide variety of different types of chemicals can be detected as odorants -- they simply require olfactory neurons with a receptor that can bind the chemical and transduce that stimulus into a receptor potential. A.  the ability to taste TNT B.  it would have no effect C.  the ability to smell TNT D.  the ability to collect TNT molecules E.  the ability to see TNT Clarify Question What is the key concept addressed by the question?
