I agree with the first answer they would contrast is correct
From the given clauses and phrases, the independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence while the dependent clause can not.
<h3>What are clauses?</h3>
Clauses are groups of words that contain a subject and a verb that are related together.
Clauses can be dependent or independent clauses.
A phrase is a group of words that do not contain a subject but may contain a verb.
Based on the given options:
- The independent clause is scientists create this plants and animals through genetic engineering.
- The dependent clause is " so that people can choose whether or not to consume these foods".
- The infinitive phrase is "to consume these foods "
- The gerund phrase is "the labelling of these foods".
Therefore, the independent clause can stand alone while the dependent clause can not.

Explanation:
Epipelagic zone, the topmost at the surface of the oceans receives most of the sunlight and most penetrating light rays diffuse in this layer. The temperatures at this zone, therefore, is warmer than zones below. This zone has lowest water pressure becaue there is little water column above it.
The deeper you get into the water the penetration of sunlight decreases. This is because the rays are greatly diffused even before they get to the deepest zones. The abyssalpelagic zone virtually receives no sunlight because the rays cannot get to this zone. This zone is, therefore, pitch dark and also the coldest. The deeper you get into the ocean the higher the water pressure due to the weight of the able water column. The water pressure is, therefore, highest in the abyssalpelagic zone.

A mutation that involves one or a few nucleotides is called
a) mutagen
b) inversion
c) point mutation
d) translocation
Answer:
c) point mutation
Explanation:
When only one or a few nucleotides of a gene are changed by mutation, this is called a point mutation. A point mutation can add one additional nucleotide to the wild type gene or may delete or substitute a nucleotide from it. For example, if a wild type gene sequence is "ATATATATA", then the addition of "C" at the position 4 will change it into "ATACTATATA". This addition of new nucleotide is called point mutation since only one nucleotide is added to the gene. Point mutations can cause serious genetic disorders such as sickle cell anemia.
