Answer:

The answer is Newer strains of pesticide-resistant pests may develop.

Explanation:

The plants having their DNA modified through genetic engineering are called genetically modified plants. These genetic modification are done to introduce new traits in plants for example, rapid growth, bigger size, drought tolerance, pests resistance etc. However, there are some concerns related to genetic engineering of plants. When a corn plant will be genetically modified to produce certain toxins that can protect it from pests there will be some negative impacts on the environment. The horizontal gene transfer mechanism can gradually increase the adaptation to that toxin and new pesticide-resistant pests will develop.

Answer:

C: Newer strains of pesticide-resistant pests may develop

Explanation:

I finished this test and this was the correct answer. A question was marked verified by brainly on a different answer, but I tried that and it wasn't correct. So this one is correct.

What information does the pain receptor relay to the brain about stimuli below threshold
kompoz [17]

The nociceptor does not relay any information to the brain about stimuli below the threshold. This is because stimuli below the threshold do not generate an action potential and thus the neuron is not actively signalling.

List at least 3 interesting facts about something you have learned so far in Unit 2 Ecology. Please use at least 2 to 3 Sentence
Oksanka [162]

1.)Coral reefs are busy underwater ecosystems. Some people call them the “rainforests of the sea.” The corals look like rocks but actually are animals. They have hard calcium carbonate skeletons like clams. They form a base for lots of other organisms to live. You’ll find crabs, sea stars, worms, clams, sponges, jellies, sea turtles, and lots of fish. Coral reefs are complicated and very fragile. They are easily affected by pollution.

2.) Tropical rainforests are near the equator where it’s almost always warm and wet. These are the key ingredients for making lots of lush plants and trees. Half of the world’s plants and animals live in tropical rainforests. It’s a very busy ecosystem with many kinds of plants, animals, fungi, and microscopic organisms. Many of them live here and nowhere else.

3.) In the world’s many deserts, there is very little rain. The land is very, very dry. Here, living things have creative ways of finding and saving water. Cactuses are very good at storing water. They can live without rain for months. The kangaroo mouse lives in the Nevada desert. It rarely drinks water. It can get its water from the food it eats.
