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.

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.

A particular species of butterfly lays its eggs on only one type of lupine flower. What would be a likely result if pesticides s
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:2 the lupine dependent butterflies would disappear.

If the spraying of pesticides will remove all the insects then there will be no insect that will pollinate the lupine flowers. So this will cause removal of lupine species from the environment. And the lupine dependent butterflies will not be able to release their egg on these specific flower and will also disappear from the environment.

The removal of lupine flower from the environment will lead disappearing of these lupine dependent butterflies.

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

1/(5⁹) or 5⁻⁹

Explanation:

This is a Mathematics question rather than a Biology question.

The given fraction is:

\frac{5^{-6}}{5^3}

This fraction can be rewritten as:

\frac{1}{5^6*5^3}=\frac{1}{5^9}=5^{-9}

Therefore, the quotient of the given fraction is 1/(5⁹) or 5⁻⁹
