Answer:
The statements which are correct are:
-85% of the U.S. corn is GMO; modified to be resistant to herbicides.
-Technology now allows us to transfer genes between organisms of different species and even kingdoms.
- Extensive testing has been conducted on GMO-foods to ensure that there will be no adverse allergic reactions or health risks.
Explanation:
GM foods can be described as the food which is genetically modified. In simpler terms, food prepared by the introduction of a foreign gene is termed as genetically modified food.
About 92 percent of the corn produced in the U.S is genetically modified and out of it about 85 percent is genetically modified to be resistant against herbicides.
The use of GM foods was made legal after passing through various tests in the laboratory and being approved by the FDA. Up till now, any food prepared by this method is properly tested and approved By FDA before introducing it into the market.
Answer:
64
Explanation:
Since the cell has two chromosomes and a diploid number of 2, in each generation, the cell doubles. In the first generation, we have two cells, in the second generation, we have 2 × 2 cells ,in the third generation, we have 2 × 2 × 2 cells. It follows that we have 2ⁿ cells in each generation where n represents the generation.
So, in the fifth generation, n = 5, so the number of cells is 2⁵ = 32.
Since we have 2 chromosomes in each cell, the number of chromosomes in the 32 cells in the 5th generation is 2 × 32 = 64 chromosomes.
