Although genetically modified crops have been on the scene for many years, there still remains a large gap between the public se

ctor and biotechnology research and development firms. Most recently, the development of golden rice has been stalled. Golden rice has been genetically modified to increase the production of beta carotene. Beta carotene is a dietary essential that is lacking in the diets of people who live in poverty. Found in vitamin A, this deficiency has lead to partial or total blindness in over half a million children world wide. Although medical and social research suggest the need for golden rice, certain beliefs hinder its production and distribution, as well as the continued research and development of genetically modified crops. They include all but A) the unknown impacts on ecosystems B) genetic transfer to unintended crops. C) improvements in both plant and animal food resources. D) genetically modified foods are detrimental human health.

The longer the wavelength of the wave the larger the amount of diffraction.

The greatest diffraction happens when the gap size is about the same size as the wavelength.

The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is colonizing frogs across the globe causing massive mortality and even pushin
Elanso [62]

Answer:

Parasitism

Explanation:

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is a parasitic chytrid fungus which is responsible for the declining population of amphibians in the rain forests of Panama and Australia.

The fungus grows on the keratinized layer of epidermis on amphibian skin and makes a thick covering of fungus on the amphibian's skin. So as amphibian's skin helps them to maintain the proper osmotic balance in the body so when a thick fungus grows on their skin they are not able to maintain the correct osmotic balance in their body which leads to amphibian death.

So as Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is a parasitic fungus and gets its nutrition from the frog body and do not kill frog immediately as in predation therefore this relationship can be considered as parasitism.

What are the features of Oligonucleotide Therapies Discovery?
NikAS [45]

Explanation:

For antisense gene therapy, chemically engineered oligonucleotides complementary to specific mRNA are inserted into the cells which stop the translation of the specific protein. Similarly, the antisense drug contains the vital molecule—“the noncoding mRNA”—which blocks the translation of a specific protein.
