Answer: c)They are more expensive than potatoes without the vaccine.

A genetic engineering is a practice which is integral part of biotechnology which involves the genetic manipulation of organisms. In this the genome of organism is manipulated by incorporating the genome of the other organism, or some part of it is deleted so as to make organism resistance against diseases.

In the given situation, edible vaccines are incorporated in the potato plants, the vaccines are the chemical formulations which includes either the bacterial genome or some of it's agents which can fight against the one already present in the body causing diseases. This entire process requires an expensive  technological support as a consequences of which the quality as well as price of these potatoes will be high as compared to conventionally produced potatoes.

Answer is b). They make it easier to administer edible vaccines.

Plant derived edible vaccines dependent on the stability of plant food. Potato is not eaten raw and it needs to be cooked before eating. Cooking causes denaturation or weaken the protein present in it. Edible vaccine is more effective in plant food which eaten raw such as banana. An individual get protected from diseases by simply eating a fruit.

Answer:

Aspects of evolution are constantly being challenged and explored in light of new evidence

Explanation:

The whole idea of evolution has to do with the fact that organisms developed into their present form from simpler life forms. According to Oxford dictionary, evolution is; ''the process by which different kinds of living organism are believed to have developed from earlier forms during the history of the earth.''

Evolution depends on evidence from fossil records. Evidences that support the theory of evolution continue to be amassed as science advances. Hence, aspects of evolution are constantly being challenged and explored in light of new evidence.

For this reason, the evolutionary history and development of whales is being hotly debated and there has recently been a major shift in our understanding of the processes used to detail whale evolution.

Arturiano [62]

The correct answer is: MAO inhibitors.

MAOI - monoamine oxidase inhibitors are antidepressants that affect the enzyme called monoamine oxidase which normally removes the neurotransmitters norepinephrine, serotonin and dopamine from the brain. As a consequence, neurotransmitter’s activity is increased. MAOIs interact with tyramine, amino acid found in food such as cheese, smoked sausage, and red wine. Tyramin eis normally regulated via MAO. So, when the MAO is inhibited via MAOI, tyramine reaches high levels, causing the blood vessels to narrow and resulting in critically high blood pressure.
