Genetically modified grass varieties that carry genes for disease and drought resistance are now available. They were produced b

y recombinant DNA technology. However, the government has still not approved the sale of most of them, due to cautionary factors. What is the main reason for this concern?

Answer:

These grasses can act as uncontrolled invasive species and can harm other useful species of plants.

Explanation:

The genetically modified grass are generated with the help of genetic engineering methods that comprise genes for disease and drought resistance. Due to the presence of these genes, these varieties of grasses exhibit greater chances to thrive in stressful situations and they disperse with a tremendous frequency.  

The majority of the genetically modified varieties of grass are still didn't received approval by the government, as these species may function as uncontrolled invasive species and may result in harm to other useful species of plants, which can disperse fast and are tough to eradicate because of the presence of resistance against the stress conditions.

Describe how sand dunes form and how dunes migrate
Jlenok [28]
The wind is just strong enough to move the sand grains which were sorted by size by the wind. Heavier grains were left in place where as smaller grains were carried away. These grains kept moving till they were concentrated in one place usually up a hill. The grains climb the flat slope on the windward side and then fall off the steep side. The dunes may migrate slowly as this process continues, the grains at the upwind side climb the dune with the help of the wind and then fall down the downwind side.<span>

Coin tosses can demonstrate the effects of genetic drift. Imagine that heads and tails are two alleles in a population. Consider
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Smaller populations have a greater chance of having one allele expressed disproportionately.

Explanation:

Genetic drift corresponds to a drastic casual alteration of the natural order, reaching the genotypic concentration of one or several species, not preliminarily involving natural selection factors, but caused by sudden events.  Such phenomenon is characterized by the occurrence of ecological catastrophes, for example: earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, floods, burnings, avalanches and other processes, affecting a large population contingent. Thus limiting the genetic content of a particular group, restricted to the prevailing individuals.

In this situation, with low variability, differentiated individuals will experience a more significant selection pressure in relation to the ascending lineage, which minimized the achievements of selection due to the high number of living individuals. In this scenario, smaller populations will have a greater chance of having a disproportionately expressed allele as the number of members is reduced. We can also see this effect if by using a coin we imagine that heads and tails are two alleles in a population and each coin toss represents one member of that population.
