Explanation:
Silent mutations occur when the change of a single DNA nucleotide within a protein-coding portion of a gene does not affect the sequence of amino acids that make up the gene's protein.
Answer:
Explanation:
the advantages include:
disease and drought resistant crops that require fewer environmental resources for them to grow
higher yields harvested as the crops are not attacked by pests resulting in humans receiving more food as well as generating more money from the trading of their crops
increased supply of food at a cheaper life and the crops could have a longer shelf life
crops bound to be healthy as they ae not constantly treated by pesticides that could harm people
reduce the use of pesticides that might be a great move for the betterment of the food supply
they reduce the use of toxins that could harm the environment as well as the animals and people
disadvantages
unexpected or harmful genetic changes that could result in humans health being threatened
the process of genetically modifying the crops is quite expensive
due to the plants becoming pest resistant the pests are bound to have no food hence could die leading to some helpful pests such as beetles or ladybugs that actually benefit the environment going extinct
the production of genetically modified crops results in the disruption of biodiversity as you are favouring one specific organism hence resulting in the disruption of the natural gene flow
the crops are modified hence biotech foods may be a threat to the human health
Answer: D. Gymnosperms
Explanation: The Gymnosperms ( also known as Acrogymnospermae) are a group of seed-producing plants in which the ovules or seeds are not enclosed in an ovary. Examples of Gymnosperms are spruces, firs, and ginkgoes and pines.
The nitrogen in the air cannot be used by producers and consumers. It must be fixed or converted by bacteria in the ground into a useable form for plants called nitrates. Some plants called legumes (beans and clover) actually have bacteria in their roots.
The correct answer should probably be Natural selection. Those elephants could not adapt to the environment unlike those in Asia and Africa and eventually became extinct.
