Name 3 way in which GMO's are used in agriculture crops

Biology
1 answer:
quester [9]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

GM crops can be described as the variety of crop plants which have been modified through the recombinant DNA technology.

GMO'S are used in agricultural crops to :

1) Increase the amount of nutrients in a crop plant: As the population of humans is rising enormously, we need more food to survive on. The production of GM crops allows more food with better nutrition quality to be produced in a shorter time. For example, Golden rice is a GM crop which has increased levels of Vitamin A in it to meet the needs of Vitamin A in under-developed countries.

2) Produce Disease Resistant Crops: GM crops are a way to produce disease-resistant crops which will be disease-free and hence help in raising the economy. For example, orange trees are being produced by this method which is resistant to citrus greening disease.

3) Pest Resistant crops: Growing pests resistant plants are one of the major concerns of recombinant crops as a wide variety of pests infect the natural plants. For example, BT cotton is being produced which is resistant to the combat bollworm pest.

The free energy for the oxidation of glucose to CO₂ and water is -686 kcal/mol and the free energy for the reduction of NAD+ to
Archy [21]

Answer: The main reason why only 2 molecules of NADH is formed during glycolysis when it appears that as many as a dozen could be formed is because during glycolysis,most of the free energy that are available from the oxidation of glucose remains in one of the products of glycolysis known as pyruvate which acts like glucose but doesn't undergo metabolism.

Glycolysis is the splitting of sugar molecules into useable/ manageable forms,it can also be seen as the aerobic catabolism of sugar inorder to produce energy in the form of ATP,NADH and PYRUVATE.The following are the products of glycolysis; pyruvate,2 molecules of ATP and 2molecules of NADH.

Pyruvate are used in aerobic respiration or anaerobic respiration if oxygen is not available.

Barred feather pattern is a Z-linked dominant trait in chickens. What offspring would you expect from (a) the cross of a barred
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Let the "barred" allele be caller B and the "non-white" allele b. Since chickens use chromosomes Z  and W to determine sex, hens would have chromosomes ZW, and roosters would have chromosomes ZZ. A Z-linked gene is represented as a superscript on the Z chromosome, Z^{B} for the dominant allele and Z^{b} for the ressesive allele.

A barred hen would have a copy of B on its Z chromosome, a non-barred rooster would have both copies of b on both Z chromosomes. Using Punnet squares to represent the crosses we get the following cases:

\begin{center}\begin{tabular}{ |c|c|c|c| }\ & Z^{B} & W \\ \ Z^{b} & Z^{B}Z^{b} & Z^{b}W \\ \ Z^{b} & Z^{B}Z^{b} & Z^{b}W \\ \end{tabular}\end{center}

That is a ratio of two barred heterozygote roosters to two non-barred hens. Crossing them we get:

\begin{center}\begin{tabular}{ |c|c|c|c| }\ & Z^{b} & W \\ \ Z^{B} & Z^{B}Z^{b} & Z^{B}W \\ \ Z^{b} & Z^{b}Z^{b} & Z^{b}W \\ \end{tabular}\end{center}

That is a ratio of one barred heterozygote rooster to one barred hen to one non-barred rooster to one non barred hen.

Large hydroelectric dams:
lisov135 [29]

ANSWER IS D

Large hydroelectric dams has been shown to have one of the highest (if not the highest) EROEI (The energy return on investment) of any energy source. Also, nothing is burned when large hydroelectric dams generate electricity, so they do not produce CO2 emissions. However, by altering  a river's flow and, and by their downstream sediment transport, they often cause great sustained environmental impacts.
