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.

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

The two forms interbreed and their offspring survive and reproduce well.

Explanation:

When talking about classification of species, one of the first features observed is the species fitness, which describes the reproductive success or their ability to leave to their successive generations the most copies of their genotype. When different species that were recently divided into 2, by geographic isolation, for instance, usually there is no genetic compatibility, and if its possible to produce offspring, there might be some development issues like infertility.

Dalton’s theory was identified using
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Actually it was the experimental results of other scientists. The main stems of the theory was the indivisibility of small spheres (his image) that represented the elements he knew which reacted with other elements.

They seemed to give the same ratios in reactions (definite proportions) and multiple whole number ratios. Look up Lavoisier.

Which type of movement has the greatest need for thoracic mobility?
Arte-miy333 [17]
Rotational movements need the most thoracic mobility. This is because a rotational movement (such as twisting) because the movements are more three dimensional, and this is where the most can go wrong. For example, if you were holding a 35lb child and simply bent forward to put him/her down, this is less likely to cause injury than if you were to twist your torso to the right and put the child down. There is a lot more spinal stability and mobility needed for the second motion than the first.
