Answer:

The technique that is used in inserting a gene into a crop is genetic modification.

What is genetic modified crop?

A genetically modified organism (GMO) is a living organism whose DNA has been altered using genetic engineering techniques.

Humans have used breeding methods to modify organisms for thousands of years. Over generations, corn, cattle, and even dogs have been selectively bred to have certain desired traits.

The majority of GMO crops grown today were developed to assist farmers in preventing crop and food loss and controlling weeds.

The following are the most common traits found in GMO crops: Resistance to certain harmful insects, and Tolerance to certain weed-controlling herbicides.

Thus, with the help of genetic modification, a gene that controls beta-carotene production can be successfully inserted into a common food crop.

Which events can cause an ecological disturbance? Select the three correct answers.
kvasek [131]

A, B and C are the events that will cause an ecological disturbance.

Rationale:

A. Introduction of a new species: When a new specie is introduced, it increases the competition in ecosystem with the native species for food, water, space and shelter. This affects the reproductive success of the native species and thus the dynamics of ecosystem.

B. Climate change: Climate change is different from a simple change of weather. The best example would be of Antarctica where the ice is melting fast due to the global warming. The native species find it harder to adapt to the warm temperatures.

C. Late spring snowstorm: Spring is the season where the plants grow and animals shed their fur. When snowstorms occur in this season they harm these plants and animals that live there.
