THe correct answer is B. Spina bifida.

Explanation

Neural tube or NTD defects are birth defects of the brain and spinal cord. These defects change the shape or function of one or more parts of the body. Also, they can cause problems in general health, and the development or functioning of the body. These defects occur in about 3,000 pregnancies per year in the United States. One of the most common NTDs is spina bifida in which the tiny bones of the spine do not close completely, and a part of the spinal cord sold by the spine. Children with spina bifida lose mobility of the legs and problems with bladder and bowel control that make it difficult for them to go to the bathroom to meet their physiological needs. So, the correct answer is B. Spina bifida.

The correct order in the blanks are as follows: <u>C A E F G B</u>

c. glucose is actively transported in to the phloem

a. Water enters the phloem through osmosis

e. Pressure from the leaves pushes the water and glucose through the phloem

f. An area of low glucose concentration is reached

g. Glucose is actively transported out of the phloem

b. Water exits the phloem through osmosis

<h3>What is translocation?</h3>

The transport of sugar created during photosynthesis to all other areas of the plant for respiration and the other activities mentioned above is known as translocation.

Utilizing light energy, plants use photosynthesis to convert the inorganic chemicals carbon dioxide and water into glucose. Respiration uses a portion of the glucose created by photosynthesis. The seven biological processes receive energy as a result.

What type of human activities cause the elevation of atmospheric greenhouse gases
Leto [7]
The amount of greenhouse effect on Earth is directly proportional to the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. In this era of industrialization, although it may seem that it has greatly improved the global economy, it also downplays the importance of consistently upholding our role as a steward to Earth. 

The most common types of human activities that continuously worsen the greenhouse effect are: burning of fossil fuels, agriculture, and industrial processes.

The burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas emits carbon dioxide which accounts for approximately three-quarters of the warming impact caused by the greenhouse gas emissions. This is amplified significantly through deforestation. 

Methane, which accounts for 14 percent, and nitrous oxide, which accounts for eight percent are one of the major greenhouse gas emissions on earth. This can be sourced out from livestock and rice fields and also fossil fuel extraction and organic waste decay in landfill sites.

Industrial processes would incept fluorinated gases which accounts for one percent of the warming effect of current human greenhouse gas emissions.

Although it may seem that the values are not that high, but it must also be taken into consideration the several or a superfluous number of industries all around the world that simultaneously worsens the already groveling site of the continuously deteriorating and exploited planet Earth.

RNAi-based modification of amylopectin content in wheat occurs through decreased expression of starch-branching enzymes. If the
kicyunya [14]

If siRNA against a starch-branching enzyme was transmitted to humans, then it may affect the expression of glycogen-branching enzymes. RNAi inhibits gene expression.

Glycogen-branching enzymes are similar to starch-branching enzymes because glycogen bonds are similar to those observed between amylopectin.

The RNA interference (RNAi) pathway is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism used in molecular biology laboratories to inhibit the expression of target genes.

In the RNAi technique, a regulatory non-coding RNA called small interfering RNA (siRNA) that exhibits sequence complementary to the target gene sequence is used to inhibit and/or block the translation of the target mRNA (in this case, starch/glycogen-branching mRNA coding enzyme).
