The transfer of genes from one organism to another is called genetic engineering. This is new technology used to change the gene

tic makeup of cells by inserting or removing genes. Genetic engineering is used by scientists to enhance or modify the characteristics of an individual organism. Which of these is an example of genetic engineering?
A) breeding purebred horses for racing
B) breeding designer dogs like labradoodles and yorkipoos
C) GMOs, genetically modified foods engineered in a lab to produce desirable traits
D) crossing two types of fruit to bring together the best traits of both organisms, such as a tangelo

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.

Answer:

The main products of cellular respiration are CO2, H2O, and chemical energy/heat.

Explanation:

Here is the equation for cellular respiration:

C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + heat

Which type of stimulus following a behavior removes something that is unpleasant? positive reinforcer negative punisher positive
Zolol [24]

The type of stimulus following a behavior removes something that is unpleasant is the negative reinforcer.

Stimulus is any signal. This can be in the form of touch, smell, taste, etc. This stimulus triggers the nerve cells of the body that send to signals to the brain to generate a response. For example, when one person touches a hot utensil, the touch of heat acts as a stimulus, where the brain sends response in the form of instantly removal of the hand.

Negative reinforcement is the response towards a stimuli that has not yet been received. For example, taking a medicine before any disease appears  is the acts of negative reinforcement.

Wheat has flowers similar to those in Fig. 5.1, but reproduces by self-pollination. Explain the consequences of self-pollination
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

The transfer of mature pollen grain from anther of the flower to the stigma of the same flower of the same [species  is called self pollination.

Generally, the transfer of pollen grains by wind,animals,and water  to stigmas is called pollination. It is a means of vegetative propagation which ensures reproduction.

Therefore during self pollination, the same genes are distributed  from one generation to another. Thus genetic purity is ensured. It also ensured reproductive success. because there is little chance of the pollen grain getting lost in transit. It is also certain  a particular plant would always breed true.

Additionally it prevent  the process of transfer of genes in some transgenic crops( rice, maize) where through genetic engineering some genes are introduced in their genome.

The only negative effect is lack of genetic diversity. Therefore after a period of time the plants get  weak and prone to diseases and infection. Because of poor resistant from lack of variation.

What are material in food chains
spayn [35]
<span>The food chain describes who eats whom in the wild. Every living thing—from one-celled algae to giant blue whales—needs food to survive. Each food chain is a possible pathway that energy and nutrients can follow through the ecosystem.</span>
