Genetically-Modified Organisms (GMOs) are currently being developed for agriculture. Currently commercialized GM crops in the U.

S. include soy (94%), cotton (90%), canola (90%), sugar beets (95%), corn (88%), and Hawaiian papaya (more than 50%). The use of GMO crops can reduce agricultural costs to farmers and provide greater crop-yields, possibly helping with issues of food shortages. Although this sounds great, there is still a lot of controversy around the use of GMOs. Which of these is a valid argument on why we should not use GMOs in our food?
GMOs do not have any nutritional value
GMO crops are always more expensive to buy
There is not enough research on long-term effects of eating GMOs.

Answer:

The last statement is a valid argument.

Explanation:

The engineered design plants utilizing GMOs or genetically modified organisms to be more nutritious, tougher, or taste much better. However, there is a concern regarding the pros and cons of utilizing GMOs. The creation of GMOs is done by presenting DNA or genetic material from a different organism via a procedure known as genetic engineering. The most presently available GMO foods are plants like vegetables and fruits.  

As genetically engineered foods is a comparatively novel method, very less is known regarding the long-term influences and safety. The health issues related to GMO foods are a hot topic today. It is believed by some of the researchers that GMO foods may potentially trigger allergic reactions. Some believe that consuming GMO foods can result in the development of cancer.  

Thus, there is not enough research on the long-term effects of consuming GMOs.

The adrenal medulla is stimulated to release catecholamines during sympathetic autonomic nervous responses. True or False
forsale [732]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Catecholamines refer to the hormones produced by the adrenal gland present on the upper side of the kidney. The catecholamine hormone includes the epinephrine, norepinephrine and the dopamine.

During stress conditions, the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system gets activated which leads to the release of the norepinephrine from the postganglionic neurons and the prolonged-release leads to the release of the adrenaline from the adrenal glands.

Thus, true is the correct answer.

How and where viruses reproduce and the function of RNA and DNA in this process.
bija089 [108]
Viruses reproduce by inserting their genetic code into the genetic code of a cell, from there, an active virus will copy itself over and over until that cell bursts, where the new viruses can repeat the process. Another type of virus inserts itself into the genetic code, but does not actively reproduce. It sits and waits for the cell to reproduce for it, by splitting in the way cells do.
