For over a decade, farmers in the U.S. have been planting genetically modified crops. An example of one of these crops is corn t

hat is resistant to weed-killer. This makes it so that no corn is lost due to contact with herbicide meant to kill weeds.
While this is seen by many as a positive development, others see it as a cause for concern. What is one possible negative side effect of planting corn that is resistant to weed-killer?
Group of answer choices

The resistance gene could be transferred to actual weeds, making farming more difficult.

The corn that is resistant to weed-killer will eventually revert back to its original state and the corn crop will lost.

Genetically modified corn, as well as other plants, is unnatural.

Corn will replace wheat and other crops as our main source of carbohydrates.

One possible negative side effect of planting corn that is resistant to weed-killer is that: the resistance gene could be transferred to actual weeds, making farming more difficult.

<h3>What is genetic engineering?</h3>

Genetic engineering is also referred to as genetic modification and it can be defined as a technological process that involves the use of laboratory-based technologies to alter or modify the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) makeup of a living organism, in order to improve on both its physical and chemical conditions, or cure (correct) a genetic disorder in some cases.

Based on historical records, corn is a genetically modified crop with an ability to resist weed-killer, which makes it possible for it survive even when it is exposed to herbicide that are designed and developed to kill weeds.

However, one of the demerits of planting a genetically modified corn that is resistant to weed-killer is that the genes responsible for this resistance could be transferred to actual weeds, which would eventually make farming to be more difficult for farmers.

You had the right idea about the other option, generally if something is organic it has some sort of atom of carbon within the molecular compound so that limits between the two answers.

The compound is COOH meaning it is a CO² + H (Carbon dioxide + hydrogen)

It becomes an acid because the Hydrogen is a negatively charged ion and makes the compound acidic when bonded to the O

This is a type of acid that also occurs is amino acids, the building blocks of life.

Answer:

Patrick's hypothesis was "If fish eat microwaved food, then they will swim faster through the maze."

The fish that are in the control group are the fish without microwaved food.

The independent variable is the microwaved food.

The dependent variable was the time it took for the fish to swim through the maze.

Patrick's conclusion should be that the special food did not seem to make a large difference in helping the fish become faster, since 8 out of 10 fish were faster in both special food and regular food groups.
