Scientists are using genetic engineering to develop a wheat crop that is resistant to a particular kind of moth. How would they

determine if the plants are moth-resistant?
Biology
1 answer:
Ivanshal [37]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Moth populations should be monitored in both, normal wheat and engineered wheat

Explanation:

Genetically engineered wheat crop means that the genome of the wheat is being manipulated by the techniques of biotechnology. Gene for the resistance to moths is introduced into wheat in order for plant to become protected. Determination of resistance should be performed via monitoring of control group (normal wheat, not resistance to moth) and engineered wheat (potentially resistant) and their comparation. Moth population should be decreased in the resistance plants.

Why cant you keep your tongue still?
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Because the tongue is a muscle. Muscles can be involuntary(moves without control) or voluntary(controlled). Necessarily, the tongue is not an involuntary muscle, but the tongue not staying still, scientifically, can be a sign of lacking energy.

Explain how the reduction in biodiversity can effect the ecological balance in the dam
hodyreva [135]
<span>Damming a river has a variety of effects on the freshwater ecosystem, more than just altering the flow from A to B.  Dams create calm bodies of water, changing overall temperature regimes and sediment transport, leading to conditions which tend to favour generalist species. Loss of specialist species, particularly endemics, changes the community structure and leads to biotic homogenization.  A dam will withhold sediment in the reservoir, not just decreasing the amount of substrate available to local freshwater species, but even impacting diadromous, estuarine and marine species much further downstream.  The competition between resident species for food and breeding sites will increase as damming isolates populations, and perhaps more importantly, damming completely restricts migratory fish species.  Isolation may lead to decreases in genetic diversity and therefore puts species at greater risk from disease.  All of these effects may be exacerbated by changes in the surrounding land use.  Overall, damming river flow will lead to both a loss of native species, but also an increase in exotic species which are more likely to become established in degraded habitats. For this reason, dams are one of the greatest global threats to freshwater biodiversity.</span>
