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.

Which of the following is homozygous dominant? a AA b Aa c aa
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer: a). AA

Explanation: Every trait is controlled by at least a pair of gene. Genes have different forms known as alleles. Alleles can be dominant or recessive. A dominant allele expresses itself in the presence of a recessive allele and masks the effect of a recessive allele. A recessive allele cannot express itself in the presence of a dominant allele and it's effect is masked by a dominant allele. Dominant alleles are usually written in upper cases such as A, T, while recessive alleles are usually written in lower cases such as a, t. The two alleles that determines a trait is called a genotype. A genotype can be homozygous if the two alleles are identical such as in AA or aa

and can be heterozygous if the two alleles are not identical such as in Aa, Tt.

Rhizobium bacteria is found in ___ molecules of_____ plants​
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Hope this helps :)

Rhizobia are a "group of soil bacteria that infect the roots of legumes to form root nodules". Rhizobia are found in the soil and after infection, produce nodules in the legume where they fix nitrogen gas (N2) from the atmosphere turning it into a more readily useful form of nitrogen.

If a population with two alleles is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium ad the frequency of one allele is 0.7, what is the heterozygot
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

B. 0.42

Explanation:

Since the two alleles are at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the sum of the frequency of two alleles will be one. If the frequency of a dominant allele is "p" and that of the recessive allele is "q", then p+q=1

According to the given information, the frequency of one allele in the population is= 0.7

This means that the frequency of the other allele would be= 1-0.7 = 0.3

Frequency of heterozygote in the population =2pq = 2 x 0.7 x 0.3 = 0.42

Leto [7]

Answer:

Behavioural

Explanation:

There are three components of behaviour that makes us act and think in a way that allows us to run our lives the way we feel comfortable and these are

  1. Behavioural
  2. Cognitive and
  3. Affective

In terms of Behavior, this component is the one that drives the way a person will behave towards a certain thing. In this case, an undesired pregnancy. This will be for the benefit of the person in long or short term and will provoke them in a way to take precautionary measures.
