<h2>The correct answer is (c).</h2>

Explanation:

  • <u>Bt crops</u> are the crops which are genetically engineered.
  • They produce the toxin which is similar to Bt so crop is protected from the pests.
  • As Bt crops are widely used, some pests show Bt resistance.
  • <u>Recombinant DNA technology</u> or RDT is the technique which is used for joining molecules of DNA that belongs to two different species.
  • A new genetic combination is seen when the recombinant DNA molecule is inserted into a host organism.
  • Hence, the genetically engineered crops have an advantageous gene from another organism inserted into their genome.

The Hardy-Weinberg principle is written as an equation: p2 + pq2 + q2 = 1. What does the q represent?
beks73 [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is: frequency of the recessive allele.

<u>Explanation:</u>

When there are no mutations, no selective forces, no gene flow, no non-random mating and large population size, the population is said to be in Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium.

When Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is met, it is written in the form of an equation which is as follows:

p^2+2pq+q^2=1

where p^2 represents the frequency of the homozygous dominant allele, 2pq is the frequency of the heterozygous  allele while q orq^2 represents the frequency of the homozygous recessive allele.

Before cell reproduction or mitosis can proceed what is the correct sequence of steps that must first occur?
user100 [1]
Before cell reproduction or mitosis can proceed, the correct sequence of steps that must first occur is the following one: growth, chromosome replication, repair of chromosomal errors, and duplication of cell organelles. This is the right order in which these steps should happen before the cell is to reproduce or split itself into several parts during mitosis.
