Answer:

1: the exploitation of biological processes for industrial and other purposes, especially the genetic manipulation of microorganisms for the production of antibiotics, hormones, etc.

2: Genetic engineering, the artificial manipulation, modification, and recombination of DNA or other nucleic acid molecules in order to modify an organism or population of organisms.

3: Genetically Modified Organisms

4: Selective breeding is a form of genetic modification which doesn't involve the addition of any foreign genetic material (DNA) into the organism. Rather, it is the conscious selection for desirable traits.

5:Selective breeding (also called artificial selection) is the process by which humans use animal breeding and plant breeding to selectively develop particular phenotypic traits (characteristics) by choosing which typically animal or plant males and females will sexually reproduce and have offspring together.

6:The use of genetic engineering and the creation of genetically modified crops has resulted in many benefits for the agricultural world. ... By modifying crops so that they are resistant to diseases and insects, less chemical pesticides have to be used to combat diseases and pests.

7:It is known that the main concerns about adverse effects of GM foods on health are the transfer of antibiotic resistance, toxicity and allergenicity. There are two issues from an allergic standpoint.

Answer:

1) The exploitation of biological process for industrial and other purposes, especially the genetic manipulation of microorganisms for the production of antibiotics, hormones, etc

2) The process of making changes in the DNA code of living organism is called

3) Genetically Modified Organism

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

Reptile [31]

Gene is a sequence of DNA that codes for a specific, detectable product, such as a protein.

<h3>What is a Gene?</h3>

This is defined as the basic physical and functional unit of heredity and  occupy a fixed position on a chromosome.

It is also the sequence of DNA that codes for a specific, detectable product, such as a protein or RNA.

Serjik [45]

Answer:

Eventually the IR photons escape into space, but some make several round trips between the ground and the atmosphere before they depart. Along the way, a lot of energy is transferred to the ground and the atmosphere. That energy becomes heat which warms Earth's surface and its atmosphere.

Helen [10]
<span>Functional traits can be shared between organisms with divergent SSU rRNA sequences because functional traits may evolve independently, be shared through horizontal gene transfer, or be lost in divergent lineages. 
Functional traits are characteristics that define our behavior.
