4) True

5) Genetic Selection or Artificial Selection

6) By modifying crops so that they are resistant to disease and insects, less chemical pesticides have to be used to combat disease and pests

7) The consumers are mainly concerned about the long term human health effects of the bio-tech crops such as antibiotic resistance, aller-genicity, unnatural nutritional changes and toxicity. Agri-biotech companies and their affiliated scientists present GM food as an environmentally friendly crop.

8) I think that is very good for the environment and for human health because this is going to reduce the use of chemical pesticides on agriculture and GM food would be friendly crop

Plz can anyone write an essay about water pollution about 1300 words
AysviL [449]

Answer:

Explanation:

The biological or chemical change in the quality of water due to the presence of contaminants in water is called water pollution. Most of this contamination as on date is due to various human activities. In fact, humans are responsible for the mass deaths of whales and other aquatic organisms often swept ashore at different beaches in the world. There is an urgent need to look into the measures to control water pollution although a lot many efforts and schemes have already been announced by the Government in this regard. To make the students aware of this we have prepared short and long essays for students which shall inform them about water pollution and the means to minimise it.
