Genetically modified crops are genetically engineered such that a desired trait is enhanced or reproduced to appear in every offspring. Genetically engineered corn has been engineered to resist pests and herbicides; thus, we have more yield and many people especially in the low class society can afford. A disadvantage, yet is still a debate, is that genetically engineered crops such as corn, has toxic effects to internal organs such as our liver, a vital internal organ.

Which phrase best describes a gene?
grigory [225]

Answer: The correct answer is 3) A segment of a DNA molecule that contains  the instructions for producing a trait in an  organism.

Gene is a segment of DNA molecule that contains instructions ( in the form of nucleotide sequences), which are required for producing a specific trait ( characteristic) of an organism.

For this, gene is first transcribed into mRNA ( messenger RNA), which is then translated to produce a particular protein. The protein thus formed gives a specific characteristic to the organism.

Thus, option 3) is the best description for a gene.

"the somatic and autonomic nervous systems are the two major divisions of the _____ nervous system."
Yuri [45]

Answer;

-Peripheral nervous system

-The somatic and autonomic nervous systems are the two major divisions of the peripheral nervous system.

Explanation;

-The nervous system can be divided into two major subdivisions: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The peripheral nervous system is comprised of the somatic and autonomic nervous systems. The somatic nervous system transmits sensory and motor signals to and from the central nervous system.

-The somatic nervous system is involved in the relay of sensory and motor information to and from the CNS; therefore, it consists of motor neurons and sensory neurons. Motor neurons, carrying instructions from the CNS to the muscles, are efferent fibers.

-The autonomic nervous system controls our internal organs and glands and is generally considered to be outside the realm of voluntary control. It can be further subdivided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic division.
