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

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.

ira [324]

Answer:

B. Air moves towards the poles as it cools

Explanation:

The image represent convection cell or Hadley cell is a natural phenomenon in the atmosphere that occur due to difference in the density within a body of liquid or gas. These differences in density causes rise and fall in currents.

The process in step A refers to when hot air moves up and in the step B, the hot air encounters a cold surface, it direct exchange the heat with cold surface and the air cools down and move towards the poles.

Hence, the correct answer is "B. Air moves towards the poles as it cools".
