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.

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Option 1,  Robotic arms used aboard the ISS are now used in delicate surgeries on Earth.

Explanation:

The robotic arm on the international space station is used in conducting surgery. The first space robotic arm was launched in 2001 and its name was “Canadarm 2”. Though the aim of this arm was to construct space station but now a days it is used in imaging the surgical work area and instruments through its camera. The best feature of this hand is that it follows the instruction with high efficiency and precision level.

Hence, option 1 is correct.

What is the difference between monotremes marsupials and placental mammals?
vladimir1956 [14]

Here is your answer......

Explanation:

Monotremes are mammals that lay eggs. Monotremes are warm blooded with a fast metabolism. They have hairy bodies to keep warm.

Marsupials are mammals that give birth to live young.  These mammals have a pouch where their young grow and develop. Marsupials are hairy, warm blooded, and produce milk. One of the biggest differences between marsupials and placental mammals is that marsupials give birth quite early and rely less on the nourishment of the placenta. Some examples of marsupials are kangaroo and opossums.

Placental mammals are mammals that give birth to fully developed live young.  They differ from marsupials in that the baby spend more time being nourished in-utero by the placenta. These mammals are hairy and warm blooded as well. Some examples are mice, rats, and bats

Hope it helps.....

konstantin123 [22]

The answer is the population size.  The chance has a role in determining whether a given individual survives and reproduces and the alleles in the offspring are a sample of those in the parents. it is the change in the frequency of an existing gene variant (allele) in a population due to random sampling of organisms. Genetic Drift or another term for allelic drift or the Sewall Wright effect.

List two species that may be threatened by the construction of a solar power tower
DENIUS [597]

Answer: the question is incomplete,below is the complete question.

List two species that may be threatened by the construction of a solar power tower in the California Desert

The answers are, Desert torties, mountain yellow legged frog and Joshua tree.

Construction of a solar power tower in the California Desert will threaten the existence of Desert torties, mountain yellow legged frog and and Joshua tree.

Explanation: The construction of solar power towers in Mojave desert in California poses a threat to the existence of quite a number of plants.The Mojave desert houses the largest solar power plant in the world,creating the solar power tower will create job opportunities for people but at the same time endangering the existence of about 12 rare plants that are found in the region of which Desert torties, mountain yellow legged frog and Joshua tree are greatly included,these plants cannot co-exist with solar thermal mirror arrays,this brings a controversy between energy/electricity generation and wildlife/ecosystem conservation.
