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.

Is plankton biotic or abiotic?
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Not only is the biota important, but the abiotic factors in the ocean are also important because both groups work together. The abiotic factors in the ocean help the ocean to 'work'. For example, phytoplankton (autotrophs) need light, nutrients, CO2 (dissolved gases) to photosynthesize.

In an ecosystem, can there be more carnivores than herbivores ?
vodka [1.7K]
There can but it will not last long. There are probably more carnivores because they were taking advantage of the supply of herbivores and now they will start to die off. So I guess my answer is no, not normally and not for a long time.
