Answer:

Genetic modification may be defined as the change in the genetic constitution of the organism. The transgenic organism are also produced by modifying the genes.

Genetic modification of fruits and vegetables are used to increase the quality and quantity. The genetic modification increases the ability to tolerates the wide range of temperature and climatic conditions. The improvement of the important vitamins, minerals and other biological compound can be done by modifying the genome of the fruits and vegetables.

For agricultural uses. For example: country or area with low precipitation and high droughts will starve if they don't have plants that can survive the harsh conditions such as genetically modified crops being able to take in less water than non genetically modified crops.

What is the function of the structure identified by the red arrow?
Ket [755]

The structure shown by the red arrow is cell membrane.  

In biology, cell membrane refers to the thin layer, which develops the external boundary of a living cell. It has three primary functions, which are as follows:  

1. It comprises channels and receptors, which permits particular molecules like nutrients, ions, metabolic components, and wastes to pass between the cell and the outside environment.  

2. It prevents toxic components from entering the cell.  

3. They distinguish essential but incompatible metabolic procedures conducted within the cell.

•Address the letter to the editor of a local newspaper.
Julli [10]

The answer is; hydrothermal, geothermal, and wind

Hydrothermal, taped from the biggest river on the state contributes approximately 60% of the energy in the state. Geothermal is second,approximately 30% while wind power contributes approximately 10%.


The costs of the electricity in the state are relatively cheap compared with states whose main source of energy is hydrocarbon fuels.   Geothermal power is the cheapest (even though initial investment is prohibitive). Hydrothermal is slightly expensive than geothermal due to the maintenance required and also  is prone to fluctuations of the river regime. Winds are also cheap but initial investment if the wind farm is high.



Hydrothermal energy has the biggest environmental impact compared to the other two. Due to the walls of the dam on the river, migration of some aquatic species is impeded. The reduced flow of water (and sediments) downstream of the dam also impact these ecosystems. Geothermal and wind energy sources have a very minimal environmental impact on the environment .


The state could increase electronics with low power consumption (such as LED lights) in the market for availability to the population. This would be followed by a sensitization campaign on the ideal use of power in the household to conserve power when not in use.

Atrazine is an herbicide that prevents plant growth by inhibiting photosynthesis. Atrazine works by binding to proteins in the e
Sauron [17]

It prevents the formation of ATP and NADPH, which are needed by the light-independent reactions to make sugars. Thus, the correct option is D.

The herbicide atrazine binds to the D1 protein and prevents plastoquinone from binding. By preventing plastoquinone from binding, the photosynthetic transport of electron is disrupted, putting the generation of ATP and NADPH in the chloroplast at risk.

 

<h3>What are herbicide?</h3>

Herbicides are chemicals that are used to control or manage unwanted vegetation. Herbicides are most commonly used in row-crop farming, where they are treated before or during planting to increase crop productivity while reducing other vegetation.

This results in the plant's inability to fix carbon dioxide and provide the nutrients it needs to survive. A halt in electron transmission causes oxidative stress and the generation of radicals, which leads to rapid cellular death.

A stopped car begins moving and reaches a speed of
sveta [45]

Answer:

B) 5m/s^2

Explanation:

The formula for acceleration is \frac{vf-vi}{t}

vf is the final velocity which in this question is 25m/s

vi is the initial velocity which in this question in 0m/s because it says "A <u>stopped</u> car"

t is the time which is 5 seconds

When you put these numbers into the formula you get 5m/s^2

Which term describes the rearrangement of genes that causes an organism's genes to differ from those of it's parents?
Kazeer [188]

Synapsis:  

•Early during the first nuclear division. •Homologous chromosomes pair along their length. •Held tightly by protein ‘zipper’.

<span>Homologous Recombination:  </span>

•Genetic exchange (crossing over<span>) occurs between homologous chromosomes. It then becomes a mix of both paternal and maternal genes (father and mother respectively)</span>
