Answer:

Corn crop is resistant to herbicides because they are genetically modified through genetic engineering. There are some bacteria which are resistant to herbicides i. e. no effect of chemicals on that bacteria. So the biotechnologist take a gene from this resistant bacteria and induced it in the corn plant which becomes the part of their genetic makeup. So when we apply herbicide, the gene produces some enzymes which cancel the adverse affect of herbicide and only weeds are affected.

What is not an example of negative feedback
svetoff [14.1K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Blood clotting</u> is a positive feedback.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

All the physiological process occurring in the body are monitored by two types of mechanism called negative feedback and positive feedback.  

Positive feedback is the reaction which occurs with the feedback from the actions the system has performed. The blood clot occurs with palette formation which is regulated with the blood lose (continuous feedback).

Negative feedback is a reaction that is the invert of the change distinguished, meaning it capacities to decrease the change. A change is recognized by a receptor and an effector is made to incite a contrary impact which facilitates further reaction.  

The physiological process such as shivering, sweating and digestion are examples of negative feedback.
