Genetically modified (GM) foods are the ones came from organisms whose genetic material (DNA) are altered as they do not occur naturally. Food shortage, cost, variety can make people support the GM foods, while, religious beliefs, allergy, and worrying about the food can limit the support for these foods.
<h3>What are the characteristics of GM foods?</h3>
Genetically modified (GM) foods are those derived from organisms the ones genetic material (DNA) has been altered as they do not occur naturally.
Its characteristics are:
- More nutritious food.
- Less use of pesticides.
- Faster growing plants and animals.
- Disease- and drought-resistant plants.
As food shortage, cost, variety can make people support the GM foods, while, religious beliefs, allergy, and worrying about the food can limit the support for these foods.
Thus, the correct option is A.

Answer;
Heterozygote advantage occurs when heterozygotes have a higher fitness than do both homozygotes. In frequency-dependant selection, the fitness of a phenotype declines it it becomes too common in the population.
Explanation;
The heterozygotes have both alleles, which is needed for genetic variation. Heterozygotes are essential for there to be genetic variation in a population. In other words it is when When a single copy of a disease allele doesn't result in a disease but instead is good for the person or organism that carries it, we say that allele has a heterozygote advantage. For example a sickle cell trait, which protects against malaria in heterozygotes, but causes a deadly disease in homozygotes.
-Frequency-dependent selection occurs when the fitness of a genotype depends on its frequency. It is possible for the fitness of a genotype to increase (positively frequency-dependent) or decrease (negatively frequency-dependent) as the genotype frequency in the population increases.
Answer:
Because males are never carriers for x-linked trait, only females are carriers which gives them a lower chance of receiving the trait. While males can either have the trait or not have it.
If you are talking about the amount of material, it will be equivalent. But monomers are usually smaller than polymers.
