Genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) have included corn crops engineered to produce a natural pesticide to kill a certain insec

t which would normally destroy the corn. The benefits include a larger corn crop, because the destructive influence of the insects is lowered. What might be one negative result of growing this specific GMO? A. The natural pesticide could get into the soil and kill the next corn crop. B. The genetically-modified corn would require more water to produce enough pesticide to fend off the insects. C. The insects could grow resistant to the pesticide in the genetically-modified corn and become immune to regular pesticides. D. All of the insects could disappear, allowing the corn crop to grow too large.

The correct answer is option C, that is, the insects could grow resistant to the pesticide in the genetically-modified corn and become immune to regular pesticides.  

The genetically modified organisms are usually developed to be more resistant to pesticides or produce pesticides themselves. The GM crops do not have monarch butterflies or honeybees. However, the insects that consume genetically modified crops can, in some of the circumstances, begins to establish a resistance to the protein that usually kills them.

Which statement about neural reflex arcs is incorrect? Which statement about neural reflex arcs is incorrect? Their function is
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

The incorrect statement is that the neural reflex arc becomes slow by the hormones involved.

Explanation:

A neural pathway that controls a reflex is known as a reflex arc. In a reflex arc, the sensory neuron transmits a signal to the interneuron and stimulates it. The interneuron then transmits or passes the signal to the next neuron, that is, a motor neuron. The motor neuron associates with the interneurons in the spinal cord, which transmits messages from the CNS to the body. Thus, a reflex arc comprises the elements, that is, the receptor, integrating center, and the effector. Their main activity is to protect the body from external events.

Ket [755]

Answer:

Inequalities in the exposure to environmental burdens and access to environmental benefits are an environmental justice concern for urban and regional environmental planning. Recent studies have assessed the exposure of different populations to a combination of environmental hazards through GIS-based Cumulative Environmental Impact Assessments (CEIA). The contribution of this study is the development of a CEIA, which incorporates the distance-based impact of transportation, the cumulative impact of environmental hazards, and access to environmental benefits for Santa Clara County (SCC), a highly diverse and rapidly developing region also known as ‘Silicon Valley’. Our results show that social vulnerability, cumulative environmental hazards, and environmental benefits exhibit distinct spatial patterns in SCC.
