Answer:

Option B, A decrease in crop diversity.

Explanation:

The genetic diversity will decrease because  genetically modified crop with improvised trait will be a dominant species among all and hence in long run it will overrun all other species of crop which get affected by weed killers. Genetic material of genetically modified crops (GM) will subside the expression of any other genetic trait, thereby limiting the variation in the offspring in coming generation.

Hence, option B is correct

B. A decrease in crop diversity is an environmental concern. Weed killers will wipe out other strains of crop leaving only the engineered resistant type.

How do researchers hope to understand healthy aging by the study of proteins?
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Of course, you could scan their driver’s license or look for signs of facial wrinkles and gray hair. But, as researchers just found in a new study, you also could get pretty close to the answer by doing a blood test.

Woman looking at herself in mirror That may seem surprising. But in a recent study in Nature Medicine, an NIH-funded research team was able to gauge a person’s age quite reliably by analyzing a blood sample for levels of a few hundred proteins. The results offer important new insights into what happens as we age.

Explanation:

For example, the team suggests that the biological aging process isn’t steady and appears to accelerate periodically — with the greatest bursts coming, on average, around ages 34, 60, and 78

How do the nutrients in soil become building materials for a plant to grow?
Sever21 [200]

The nutrients from the soil is taken up by the roots to be distributed to the entire plant. The plant absorbs the nutrients into its cells and utilized by the leaves, stem, trunk. They are also used to grow flowers and to bare fruits.

Moreover, the nutrients are divided into two groups; first the macronutrients which is needed by the plants in large amount such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and sulfur. Second group is the micronutrients, needed in tiny amounts that include zinc, copper, manganese, boron, iron, sodium and cobalt. These two groups are essential for normal plant growth and development.

A cross between a red flower and a white flower produces red and white spotted flowers. Which type of inheritance pattern is ind
Nutka1998 [239]
The correct answer is codominance.

Codominance is when the alleles of a gene, in a heterozygote organism, are not fully expressed. In this case, either red or white fully dominates but they still manifest that they are present in the flower.
Do not get confused with incomplete dominance because that would result in a pink flower.
