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 downside to this mutant corn wohld be that it would give rise to a presticide-immune strain of the certain insect.

All the non-immune bugs would die, leaving the few immune ones to reproduce. That would result in a overpopulation of immune super-bug that would still be able to go ham on the large, GMO corn, like nothing happened, and still go on to affect native plant populations. That can become a huge problem.

Hope that helped!

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Overall DeltaG = -6.40 kJ/mol

Delta G = 31.6 - 6.4 =25.2 KJ

T = 17 + 273.15 =290.15 K

Delta G = -RT * Ln (K)

25.2 * 10^3 J = -(8.314 J/moles*k)(290.15K) * Ln (K)

So (Delta G)/(-RT) = Ln (K)

Ln K = -10.44643114

Thus k = 2.905 *10^-5

I. Define the following terms:
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

<u>I. Define the following terms:-</u>

Population ➝ the world population is the total number of humans currently living.

Population density ➝ is a measurement of population per unit area or volume. It is frequently applied to living organisms, most of the time to humans.

Carrying capacity➝ is the average population density or population size of a species in a habitat.

Exponential growth➝ is a process that increases quantity over time. It occurs when the instantaneous rate of change.

Density-independent limiting factor➝ is any force that affects the size of a population of living things.

Logistic Growth ➝ is a population's per capita growth rate stays the same regardless of population size, making the population grow faster as it gets larger.

Density-dependent limiting factor➝ is a limiting factor of a population wherein large, large dense populations are more affected than small, less crowded ones ex. predation, competition, food supply.

<u>II. Enumarate at least three(3) factors that affect population growth.</u>

  • Birth rates
  • Death rates
  • Immigration

<u>III. Differentiate exponential growth and logistic growth.</u>

Exponential growth is a growth in population wherein the number of individuals increases. Logistic growth entails exponential growth in population along with a growth rate that is in a constant state. As the population comes to its carrying capacity, the growth rate then decreases significantly.
