Answer:

Explanation:

Genetically modified foods are those foods in which the genetic material of the food in the form of animal or plant is incorporated with the genetic material of other organisms.

The issues associated with genetically modified food includes:

1. Suppression of the genetic traits originally present in the food: The incorporation of the new genetic material is likely to suppress the beneficial genes originally present in the animal or plant.

2. Ethical concern: The plant genome incorporated with animal genome is likely to raise ethical concern for vegetarians who do not like to consume animal genes.

Genetic modification is a special set of gene technology that alters the genetic machinery of such living organisms as animals, plants or microorganisms. Combining genes from different organisms is known as recombinant DNA technology and the resulting organism is said to be ‘Genetically modified (GM)’, ‘Genetically engineered’ or ‘Transgenic’. The principal transgenic crops grown commercially in field are herbicide and insecticide resistant soybeans, corn, cotton and canola. Other crops grown commercially and/or field-tested are sweet potato resistant to a virus that could destroy most of the African harvest, rice with increased iron and vitamins that may alleviate chronic malnutrition in Asian countries and a variety of plants that are able to survive weather extremes. There are bananas that produce human vaccines against infectious diseases such as hepatitis B, fish that mature more quickly, fruit and nut trees that yield years earlier and plants that produce new plastics with unique properties. But here is one thing I learned. GMO Is a very bad issue since basically people are spraying chemicals on the plants which we eat. There are these 2 things I want you to know whne your in a store picking out your food. Organic vegetables? Good! it doesn't say organic or anything? that means it's not organic it's usually 98% GM in my opinion. GMO can affect your body and how it functions. I Hope this helps! it took so long to write! Please comment if I helped!

Which statement best describes wavelengths of sunlight that are longer than 700 nanometers? These wavelengths form the infrared
pentagon [3]

Answer:

Option A is the appropriate approach.

Explanation:

  • Throughout reality, the sun produces light across all colors, but rather because yellow would be the strongest wavelength of the sun, that's color that only the image recognizes through our naked eyes, although you can never glance up towards the sky.
  • The infrared portion including its spectrum is created by some of these wavelengths.

The other options offered are not relevant to the situation described. So, the solution here is just the right choice.
