GMO stands for a genetically modified organism. 

This means that scientists genetically engineer an organism, usually to change it or take its best trait from it to create a new organism that is more efficient.
An example is growing crops. Scientists may take two crops, one that is highly nutritious and the other that is drought resistant. Genetically engineering them to form a new plant will create a GMO - that will most likely be highly nutritious and also drought resistant - thus two good qualities from two different plants were taken and modified to be in the one plant.

GMO is a very clever and sufficient way for farming as they can grow stronger and won't as easily die and shrivel away. However, they can also be dangerous to eat since they've undergone genetic modification.

Hope this helps.

GMO stands for “genetically modified organism”, which is a new organism, not found in nature, created by scientists when they genetically modify or engineer food plants.

explain how the oceans serve as a carbon reservoir. what are some of the effects of this on marine life?
Sati [7]

Answer:

Carbon pollution is changing the ocean's chemistry, slowing its ability to uptake CO2, making it more acidic, and harming shellfish and other marine life we depend on. The ocean has absorbed about 29 percent of global CO2 emissions since the end of the preindustrial era.Human activities affect marine life and marine habitats through overfishing, habitat loss, the introduction of invasive species, ocean pollution, ocean acidification and ocean warming.

An ADVANTAGE that cold-blooded animals have compared
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Sorry, I don't know the answer, but I do know this:

Explanation:

Cold-blooded animals have resistance against microorganisms, and when they are infected, they reduce body temperature as a defense mechanism. Warm-blooded animals have a much stronger immune system to defend against such microorganisms. They gain energy in the form of heat to regulate body temperature for survival.

I hope this helps.

En la meiosis, el entrecruzamiento (recombinación génica entre cromosomas) o crossing over ocurre durante la: *
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Profase I

Explanation:

La Profase I es la primera etapa de la meiosis en la cual el material genético se condensa para formar los cromosomas y se desarrolla el huso acromático (huso meiótico). El entrecruzamiento, también conocido como sobrecruzamiento o <em>crossing-over</em> (por su nombre en inglés), es un proceso que consiste en el intercambio de material genético entre cromátidas no hermanas de cromosomas homólogos. El entrecruzamiento se produce durante la Profase I, es decir, durante el período inicial del primer ciclo celular meiótico (meiosis I). El sobrecruzamiento tiene una importancia fudamental desde el punta de vista evolutivo ya que este fenómeno incrementa la diversidad genética de las gametas obtenidas mediante este proceso.
