A corn plant has been genetically engineered. It produces pollen that can make its own toxins. These toxins protect the corn pla
nt against pests. What is a likely impact on the environment around the corn plant? a. Bird and butterfly populations around the area may increase.
b. The concentration of pesticides in a nearby lake would increase.
c. Newer strains of pesticide-resistant pests may develop.
d. The carbon dioxide level would increase in the area.
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.
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.
In the Claritin commercial, the man is laying in the grass with a
beagle puppy. The beagle is a breed of small hound that is similar to a larger
foxhound that has approximately
220 million scent receptors. This is the reason why they are employed as
detection dog and not as guard dogs for they are usually friendly dogs.
Sedimentary rocks are fantastic formations where each and every one tells an ... First we need to make clear what sediment is! ... I think you all know what weathering is but I include the definition anyway.
