Answer: C) GMOs, genetically modified foods engineered in a lab to produce desirable traits.

Explanation:

The genetic engineering involves the insertion of genes from other organism to the host organism so as to make up genetically modified organism. Some unwanted and default genes are also removed from the organisms so that their body function properly.

The genetically modified foods are the examples of genetic engineering. This is done to produce desirable traits in the food crops. In plants both plants and animal genes are inserted to improve the yield of crops, and to improve their quality. In animals, the insertion of genes of other animals is likely to improve the milk and meat yield.

How can homologous structures be used as evidence for shared common ancestry?
Crank
Homologous structures are structures that are similar in related organisms because they were inherited from a common ancestor. These structures may or may not have the same function in the descendants. They all have the same basic pattern of bones. They inherited this pattern from a common ancestor. However, their forelimbs now have different functions

What happens if you drop some type of liquid on a cable such as a phone charger? Can you get hurt? Can you still use it?
ipn [44]

It really just depends. If the liquid got in any crevices it might not work. If it wasn't plugged in, no you cannot get hurt. But I've had chargers that I spilled water on and they still work fine, but again, it depends. Like if there's a tear in the cord that liquid got in, then no it probably won't work anymore.
