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.

List three types of specimens a dissecting microscope might be used to view.
Rus_ich [418]

1. Simple optical microscope. One lens.
Disadvantage: Only Van Leeuwenhoek made them, and he's dead.
Advantage: Worked pretty well. With them, Van Leeuwenhoek discovered protozoa and bacteria.

2. Compound optical microscope. Has both an ocular and objective lens.
Disadvantage: limited resolution. Can resolve bacteria, but not smaller things like viruses.
Advantage: can be used with live specimens (using phase contrast or polarized or other special illumination).

3. Binocular dissecting microscope (optic). Has a pair of ocular and objective lenses, and supposedly presents a "3D" view of the specimen to the viewer (I was never able to see in 3D using these darn things).
Disadvantage: Limited magnification
Advantage: Can be used to perform surgery on small but not microscopic specimens, such as fruit flies. Is used in "microsurgery" in hospitals too.

Hope this helps buddy!

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

C.The two species do not breed in the same area, so they are reproductively isolated by allopatry.

Explanation:

Allopatry means that these two species are geographically separated during the breeding season, so they are reproductively isolated.

Allopatric speciation is a form of speciation (creation of new species) that occurs as a result of geographic isolation. This means that a part of population becomes physically separated from the initial main population. There is no gene flow between these two populations and as a result the two populations  reach a high level  of genetic divergence. They can no longer interbreed which means they become two different species (speciation).
