Answer:

C

Explanation:

Cloning reproduces the exact same crops identical to the plant from which the cloning tissue was taken. While this has the capacity to preserve the purity of a breed of plants with desired characteristics, it can also have undesirable effects. Without sexual reproduction, there would be no genetic variability of the crop. This means the plant will hardly adapt to environmental changes and could go extinct if not further genetically engineered.

astraxan [27]

Answer: b. fossil fuels are nonrenewable, so humans will run out of them eventually. burning fossil fuels also contributes to global climate change by releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Fossil fuels are limited and we will run out of them eventually. They cannot be replenished in a single human's lifespan. Fossil fuels contribute to the destruction of ecosystems, but not only that. They release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that warms the Earth. Therefore, anything other than B. would be incorrect.
