As scientists have developed more productive crop varieties, farmers have switched from growing many traditional varieties to ne

w high-yield varieties. For example, in Peru, the Indians once grew 500 native varieties of potatoes. That number has been reduced to about twenty major potato varieties, worldwide.

Switching from traditional crop varieties to new high-yielding varieties of potatoes will lead to a <u>reduction</u> in the<u> </u><u>varieties of potato</u><u> </u>as well as the <u>potato</u><u> </u><u>gene pool</u><u>.</u>  

Explanation:

This switching led to the green revolution in many countries with increased production of crops. However, the traditional healthier varieties of crops are lost over the period and only the newer high-yielding varieties remain. When the genetic pool of a crop is downsized it leads to declining of the genetic diversity.  

A large gene pool will help to maintain the genetic diversity of a species to withstand environmental challenges and stresses. Smaller a gene pool becomes, greater are the chances for it become wiped out or extinct.  

Hence to maintain the gene pool of a crop and the genetic diversity, traditional varieties should be maintained.

Explain how mRNA is formed from the DNA template.
muminat

Answer:

mRNA is “messenger” RNA. mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus using the nucleotide sequence of DNA as a template. This process requires nucleotide triphosphates as substrates and is catalyzed by the enzyme RNA polymerase II. The process of making mRNA from DNA is called transcription, and it occurs in the nucleus.

What do technology and science have to do with each other
Ymorist [56]

Hey there!

Science is the study of the natural world by collecting data through a systematic process called the scientific method. And technology is where we apply science to create devices that can solve problems and do tasks. <u>Technology is literally the application of science.</u> So, it really is impossible to separate the two.

I hope this helps!
