Crops are protected from disease-causing fungi by use of fungicides or by the use of genetically engineered fungi-resistant crop

s. Which statement BEST describes how the two techniques differ in reducing fungal infestations of crop plants?
A) Fungicides kill plants infected with fungi, while genetic engineering modifies fungal DNA.
B) Fungicides kill the source of food for fungi, while genetic engineering helps to make fungi-infected plants edible.
C) Fungicides interfere with fungal growth and reproduction, while genetic engineering produces plants resistant to fungi.
D) Fungicides change fungal DNA, while genetic engineering helps the crops and the fungi to form a symbiotic relationship.

Correct answer: C). Fungicides interfere with fungal growth and reproduction, while genetic engineering produces plants resistant to fungi.  

Fungicide is a chemical substance that is known to cause toxicity in fungi in order to kill them. Its use can help to reduce the number of fungal infection that causes great loss to plants and its productivity.

In genetic engineering, the DNA of plants is altered in such a way that it produces a toxic protein, which will kill the fungi when it tries to infect them or slow down the growth of the plant.

Define the following terms. Give an example of an organism that is described by each term. a. benthic b. pelagic c. sessile d. m
taurus [48]

Answer:

(A) Benthic- Benthic refers to the lowest or the bottom zone of the water body such as seas, and oceans. The organisms existing under such extreme pressure conditions are commonly known as benthic organisms. For example, corals and bivalves.

(B) Pelagic- Pelagic refers to the upper top portion of a water body, covering the open sea areas. The organisms existing in this region include dolphins and sharks.

(C) Sessile- Sessile refers to the property where an organism is stationary and cannot move freely from one place to another. These are known as sessile organisms such as coral polyps, Mussels.

(B) Mobile- refers to the property by which an organism can move freely in any direction it wants. For example, fishes, dolphins.

(E) Evisceration- It is a specific type of property where organisms can eject their internal organs in order to protect themselves from predators. for example, Sea cucumbers.

(F) Chitin- Chitin is a hard shell that is present in various organisms, forming its exoskeleton, for defense purposes. For example, arthropods.

_____ radiation lies at frequencies just below the frequencies of visible light.
olga2289 [7]
Infrared radiation lies at the frequency just below the frequencies of visible light.

Infrared radiation is termed as an electromagnetic radiation which has longer wavelength more than those which have visible light.
Infrared radiation excites vibrational modes in a molecule through which a change in the dipole moment. Infrared examines transmission and absorption of photons which are in the infrared range. Infrared radiation is used in scientific, military, law enforcement, in industrial, and medical applications.
