1.GMO's have both pros and cons.

Pros like 1) GM crops have more nutrients, are resistant to pesticides and grow quickly. 2) Artificially bringing change by manipulating the DNA will save many years of research as observed with traditional breeding methods.

Cons like 1) Some cases of health risk like liver and kidney problem has been observed with the use of GM crops. GMOs can also affect those with allergies. Enough research is not done on health effects. 2) Higher levels of toxins could be produced with the insertion of a foreign plant gene.

2. According to my opinion, GMOs should be used to solve human problems but it should be brought after proper research being done. The most important role of GM crops is to ensure that there is enough to eat. Since the global population is expected to reach more than nine billion by 2050, there will be increasing demand for food. Although agricultural productivity has improved drastically, production might not be sufficient to meet demand unless we start using significantly more land, fertilizer, and water. Further the change in climate will make the situation worse. So under such conditions if we can use GM crops which are more tolerant to such harsh conditions and use less fertilizers then it's a boon definitely.

Describe two forms of mechanical weathering.
GalinKa [24]
1.Frost Wedging (Freeze-Thaw)

Water expands by 9 percent when it freezes. As it expands, it exerts up to 4.3 million pounds per square foot of pressure. Since water seeks low points, repeated freezing and thawing can lead to deep vertical fissures as cracks are extended downward. Cracks that allow entry of roots lead to similar wedging.


2.Crystal Formation

Crystal formation cracks rock in a similar way. Most water contains dissolved salts. When water in rock fissures evaporate, the salt concentration increases, which leads to crystallization. This occurs in arid regions where the humidity fluctuates widely, so that the salt can be redissolved and carried into new fissures.

In which kingdom are an overwhelming majority of its individuals producers?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

The plantae kingdom has an overwhelming majority of the producers, this may not be true. The producers are mostly present as autotrophs that make food using the sunlight. Other kingdoms like the bacteria have varied forms of producer, both the autotrophs like the cyanobacteria and the chemotrophs like halothiobacillus that use the internal heat of the Earth at the bottom of the dark ocean floor to synthesise their food.

AnnZ [28]

Options:

a) the geneticist looks at the symptoms of a disease, and the orthopedist does not.

b) the geneticist works in a hospital, and the orthopedist works in a lab.

The geneticist focuses on what causes the disease, and the orthopedist treats the disease. so thats why different from an orthopedist (a doctor who specializes in bones). Thus, the correct option is C.

<h3>What is chromosomes?</h3>

A chromosome is a lengthy DNA molecule that contains all or a portion of an organism's genetic code. Histones, which serve as packing proteins for the majority of eukaryotic chromosomes, work with chaperone proteins to attach to and condense the DNA molecule in order to preserve the integrity of the molecule.

A medical geneticist specializes in using DNA tests and genetic data to identify, manage, or prevent chromosome problems, inherited genetic illnesses, and other genetically driven diseases and ailments.

Orthopedic physicians, often known as orthopedic surgeons, concentrate on assisting you with musculoskeletal problems. They are responsible for identifying and managing diseases that impact your musculoskeletal system.
