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.

In order for evolution to occur, what must happen in a population?
kozerog [31]
For evolution to occur: There must be genetic variation in a population. This provides variation on which natural selection can act. Then natural selection can act by selecting those species which are better adapted to the environmental conditions. Over time those animals that are best suited to the environment only will survive and reproduce. Those organisms successful genes will be preserved and eventually the gene frequency in the population will change, changing the overall characteristics of a population. This is how evolution occurs.

In a population of birds some individuals are born with thicker, stronger beaks than others. This is a trait that is inherited.
balu736 [363]

C)The two species cannot have viable offspring together.

An ecological niche can be defined as the functional role played by the organism or species in order to survive in it's habitat. Like the type of food consumed by the organism, type of mating mating season and others.

In the given situation, the thick beak birds likely to develop in a new species because of this typically adaptation. The two species may exhibit reproductive isolation as they may not be capable of inbreeding among themselves and cannot produce viable offspring together.
