B. Because of Farm laws that require no seeds to be kept from a harvest, or you are not allowed to have plants of a different genetic make or made by a different company in your field if you didn't buy it, you could have wind carry seeds into opposing fields, and if inspected, you would potentially have to pay a fine for having unauthorized varieties growing in your field. And trying to remove it would be a pain, because you would either have to find a killer that your plants are resistant to, or to find these individually and pluck them, or to spray a killer that would kill all of your plants, but none of these resistant varieties

Answer:

If it accidentally spreads to areas where it is unwanted, it will be difficult to remove.

Explanation:

If it accidentally spreads to areas where it is unwanted, the herbicide resistant rice strain will be difficult to remove.

In 2006, this new strain of rice accidentally began to grow where it was not wanted. It invaded the crops of many farmers, including those in Mississippi, and it negatively impacted their production.

PLEASE HELP, BIOLOGY!!!!

Unlike natural selection, genetic drift does not depend on an allele’s beneficial or harmful effects. Instead, drift changes allele frequencies purely by chance, as random subsets of individuals (and the gametes of those individuals) are sampled to produce the next generation.

Every population experiences genetic drift, but small populations feel its effects more strongly. Genetic drift does not take into account an allele’s adaptive value to a population, and it may result in loss of a beneficial allele or fixation (rise to 100\%100%100, percent frequency) of a harmful allele in a population.

The founder effect and the bottleneck effect are cases in which a small population is formed from a larger population. These “sampled” populations often do not represent the genetic diversity of the original population, and their small size means they may experience strong drift for generations.

How can irradiation solve a societal problem?
ivanzaharov [21]
One example of irradiation solving a societal problem might be the way in which it is able to prevent diseases in food. Using small amount of radiation, the bacteria and insects that would otherwise be carrying harmful bacteria can be killed. This will solve a societal problem, in that food wastage and illness due to food poisoning in poverty-stricken areas are massive problems faced in our society.
