Why might genetically engineering a crop to be herbicide resistant result in producing weeds that are herbicide resistant?

Biology
1 answer:
Ann [662]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The weeds will become tolerant to the herbicide through repeated exposure.

Explanation:

Genetic engineering refers to the procedures that are used to change the genetic composition of an organism by supplementing the desired genes. The herbicide-resistant crops are developed in order to withstand specific broad-spectrum herbicides that destroy the surrounding weeds, however, leave the cultivated crop intact.  

The cultivation of herbicide-resistant crops encourages and substantially enhances the application of herbicides, leading to overuse of herbicides, in order to maintain the production of crops. However, this overuse application of the herbicides will eventually result in the generation of weeds that become resistant to herbicides.

ASAP PLS There are lots of big words in genetics! One way to start thinking about the process of meiosis is to ask yourself some
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

1) the genes and chromosomes do not double after each generations because parental sex cells are haploid and only contain one set of chromosomes. During fertilization the two cells fuse to form a diploid zygote with two copies of genes and chromosomes. For example a normal human has 46 chromosomes (2 copies of 23 chromosomes) during reproduction gametes which contain 23 chromosomes (haploid) fuse to form an offspring with the correct number of chromosomes ( 23 + 23 = 46).

2) offspring only receive one set of chromosomes from each parent so to maintain the chromosome number of humans. If this did not happen you would not be the same species.
