Energy is always lost as energy is moved from one level to another. ... The loss of energy due to the second law of thermodynamics results in a pyramid with a large base and a 10% ratio between levels.
Here's the fact:
"Altering the DNA of plants always reduces the nutritional content" is a FALSE statement. In fact, GMO products often have nutrients added.
"<span>Genetic modification reduces the genetic variation in both plants and animals" is a TRUE statement. The natural genetic variation that keeps species thriving is decreased when the plants are modified. Less diversity within a species puts it at an increased risk of being affected by disease or even becoming extinct. Genetic diversity causes resilience, since not every strain of a species will die off in the case of contracting a disease because they are all different. The more similar species are, the more they are at risk. However, so long as companies make variations of GMO foods, we should be fine.
"There have not been enough long-term studies to prove that this food is safe" is a TRUE statement. Some modern studies say genetically modified foods bad, some say they're good, some say they're neutral; however, since GMOs have only been a thing since 1994, there are no long term studies. Without long term studies, there is no way to confirm the safety of GMO foods.
"There have been many studies showing that these foods cause disease" is a FALSE statement. There have been many studies of GMO foods, but many haven't found any worthwhile data, except a few allergies.
Answer: There have not been enough long-term studies to prove that this food is safe.

Answer:
A) altering the nucleotide sequence of the DNA fragment
Explanation:
Gel electrophoresis is a technique to separate the DNA fragments on the basis of their charges and size. DNA fragments are made to migrate through a gel in an electric field. DNA has nucleotides and the presence of phosphate groups makes it a negatively charged molecule. In the gel electrophoresis, DNA fragment migrates through the gel toward the positive pole. Also, the gel slows down the large molecules more than the small molecules. Therefore, the DNA fragments are separated by size. However, the sequence of the nucleotide of DNA fragments does not affect the rate of their migration in the gel.
RNA is a polymer with a ribose and phosphate backbone and four different bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil. The first three are the same as those found in DNA, but in RNA thymine is replaced by uracil as the base complementary to adenine.
