Suppose you are an agricultural geneticist. You and your research group are brainstorming future plant foods that could be devel

oped using selective breeding. This could be either general methods or genetic engineering. From the following list, check all characteristics you would consider when developing new plant foods
resistance to pesticides

addition of genes to make animal protein

resistance to insects, fungi, and other pests

addition of genes to improve color and taste

modifications for specific climates (heat, cold, drought)

modifications for extremely large- or small-sized fruit or vegetable

addition of genes to increase concentrations of essential vitamins

modification of food’s appearance to make it more attractive to consumers

Human mutations may increase resistance to some infectious diseases. Humans which carry the mutant gene, the "sickle cell allele
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

1 - Malaria

2- Typhoid fever and Tuberculosis

Explanation:

In case of malaria, the causal microorganism is Plasmodium falciparum, which target red blood cells of host. In humans who have defective sickle cell allele, have abnomral shaped red blood cells. So microorganism does not able to attach to abnormal shaped RBCs thus humans having sickle cell allele are more resistant to death caused by malaria.

In cystic fibrosis, mutation on that gene which encodes a protein known as cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR).

Normally Salmonella typhi (bacteria responsible for typhoid fever) enters into intestinal cells by attaching with CFTR receptor. Carriers of cystic fibrosis mutant gene, have abnormal CFTR thus reduced rate of entry of bacteria into carriers.

Normally Mycobacterium tuberculosis (bacteria responsible for tuberculosis) adds sulfate in its cell walls. In carriers of cystic fibrosis, arylsulfatase B activity is reduced which incorporates sulfate. Thus reduced arylsulfatase activity makes bacteria unable to add sulfate in its cell walls thus decreases their virulence to carriers of cystic fibrosis.

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Complex brain.

Explanation:

The cranial capacity of Homo sapiens are responsible for their successful adaptation on earth. They have the cranial capacity of around 1400cc.

The major environmental conditions has changed but the complex human brain has helped him to sustain and understanding the nature. Humans are successful to sustain on this earth due to their complex brain.
