How has nearly all the food we eat been "genetically modified" in the broadest sense of the term?

1 answer:

3 0

In the broadest sense of the term, we have modified the genes of almost everything. We used selective breeding to breed the most resistant form of crops, the largest sized chickens, and others. In recent years we have even modified them through gene splicing and other methods. Nearly everything we eat, including including "organic" foods have been changed from their original DNA structure, in fact we do not even know anything's original genetic structure because of this. Genetic modification could also include mutations. Some crops have mutated due to pollution, disease, or other effects such as climate change. Without genetic modification our world would differ from what it looks like today.

Do the dolphin and dog fish appear to be closely related?

GrogVix [38]

.-. from what I can see, no :/. but then again I cant see the model for the dog if there isnt. But based of this, the Skeleton structure isnt within a same group class, but the Dolphin and Dog do share a similar inside, such as similar Lungs, Immune system, both require air to breath (despite the dolphins ability to live in water)

Nady [450]

The requirement was established principally to address the growth of LISTERIA MONOCYTOGENES, which is a bacteria that has the capacity to continue growing even at refrigerated temperatures. The date marking procedure was put in place in order to make sure that the affected foods are discarded before the bacteria can initiate food borne illness.

All of the following events occur during normal meiosis except _______. A. two haploid gametes fuse to form a diploid cell B. on

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

A. two haploid gametes fuse to form a diploid cell

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division. When a parent cell with "2n" chromosomes enters the process of meiosis, four daughter cells each with "n" chromosomes are formed. This occurs since homologous chromosomes separate from each other during anaphase-I. However, meiosis does not include the fusion of two haploid cells. The fusion of two haploid cells mainly occurs during the process of fertilization during which a haploid male gamete and a haploid female gamete fuse to form a diploid zygote.
