WITCHER [35]3 years ago

Explanation:

In biotechnology, several tools have been created to solve practical issues faced within society- one such tool is genetic engineering. Genetically modified organisms (GMs) with their DNA changed or transformed through genetic engineering methods usually GMOs include modifications in DNA through the incorporation of genes from all creatures such as plants, fungi, viruses and livestock.

These are referred to as transgenic organisms, which contribute to several innovations by increasing the nutritional value of foods and improving global food security which is the availability of food for the entire population.

  • GM crops are believed to be more robust in nutritional value and taste, and may be altered to boost the nutritional profile. For example, Golden Rice,a modified staple, is thought to be the solution to preventable cases of blindness caused by vitamin A deficiency. This variety has been altered to biosynthesise β-carotene, a vitamin A precursor.
  • Pest infestation leads to significant crop loss every year. These GM crops can increase food security. They are immune to pests and should decrease the use of herbicides and pesticides, thereby growing crop yields and making output more effective. One of the first GM tomatoes dubbed the Flavr Savr was made for longer shelf life. A gene has been introduced from a different species to slow down the tomato's ripening without altering its taste or nutritional content, as well as reducing its vulnerability to fungal infection.

Can you check my work for this worksheet?
zimovet [89]
On the third one for Homozygous recessive it means that both would be the little r and there are not any that are homozygous recessive in that one. Also the ratio ones are unanswered but I assume you know that and I'm not simply going to give the answers however if you give them an attempt I will let you know if you got it right or wrong

<span>Factors that contribute to warming include


 1. Carbon dioxide (CO2) from fossils fuel combustion.
2. Parts of earth's surface which have low reflectivity ( low albedo).
 3. Tropospheric Ozone (O3).
 4. Black carbon aerosols and soot particles.
 5. methane (CH4) from decomposition and feedlots.
6. Nitrogen oxides (N2O) from denitrification and fossil fuel combustion.

Factors that contribute to cooling include;
 1. Condenses water vapor (Cloud albedo).
 2. Parts of earth's surface with high reflectivity (high albedo).</span>

For a person who lives at a latitude of +40 degrees (ukiah for example), when is the sun directly overhead at noon
Nat2105 [25]
The answer is - Never.

40 degrees of latitude, be it on the southern or northern part of the Earth, never gets direct sunlight throughout the year. This is due to the fact that the Earth's inclination is not that big so that the sunlight can fall directly on this latitude, in fact, the inclination of the Earth allows the sunlight to fall directly on the surface only to the lines of 23.5 degrees north and south of the Equator.
