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.

Explain how the presence of coal-fired electricity plants can affect the ability of lakes to support life?
Lady_Fox [76]
Coal mining produces not only air pollution but solid waste; ash and flue - gas desulferization sludge ( look it up ), which contains toxic arsenic and radioactive uranium among other heavy metals. Water becomes polluted with these harmful substances through mountain top removal mining and so underwater creatures are poisoned and plants absorb deadly substances and die, which also contributes to the aquatic organisms death as the plants may have been a food source.

What do you think is the central question left unanswered by many origin of life theories? Reflect on
gregori [183]

There are several theories about the origin of life, but to know how to answer what the gap left by all theories of the origin of life, we need to know that.....

<h3>The origin of life</h3>

The origin of life on planet Earth is undoubtedly a subject that intrigues all of humanity. Several hypotheses have been created to explain such an event, but to date none has been completely proven.

<h3>Answer</h3>

In addition to the theological explanation that there was a God, who would satisfy the religious, experts seek to solve the enigma that does not let the minds that are dedicated to studying the subject rest.

Science generally accepts the Big Bang theory: the moment, about 13.8 billion years ago, when a great burst of light caused a dense sphere of matter to expand, becoming lighter and lighter. diluted, generating a Universe in continuous expansion.

Many of us, however, continue to have difficulty understanding in a rational way how a small point, smaller than an atom, contained an unimaginable density and energy capable of giving rise to everything that exists today.

Bearing in mind that the biggest gap in these theories is what there is before, what there is before God, or the big bang.

With this we come to the conclusion that the theories fail in what exists before and how everything happened before the great event of creation.
