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 factor helps determine the fertility rate of a group of people?
myrzilka [38]
The correct answer is - A. Death rate.

We get the fertility rate from the birth rate and the death rate. More specifically, from the number of the children that are born in a given time frame (usually a year) we minus the number of the people that have died in the same time frame, so the difference between them gives us the fertility rate.
The fertility rate can be positive (in the difference is a positive number) and negative (if the difference is negative number).
