Describe two potential biological risks of large scale cultivation and use of such genetically modified plants

1 answer:

6 0

Risk of large scale production:
1. With an increase in production, there can become managerial problems. Workers can become lax, making of decisions become difficult and communication between workers become hard.
2. A large scale operation, needs technical tools like machines. Finance to buy machines can become a problem and hamper growth.

Risk of Genetically modified plants
1. They can become contaminants. The cross pollinated plants and seeds can travel, and contaminate the gene pool. Thereby, threatening future generations of plants.
2. They can produce side effects. Engineered plants, can lead to development of new toxins, carcinogens and deficiencies of nutrition.

What happen to water during hydrolysis?

hammer [34]

<span>In a hydrolysis reaction, water (H2O) is added to a bond and cleaves the bond holding molecules together, breaking polymers into 2 pieces. In total, you take a water molecule and split it among the two parts, H+ and OH-. These ions get added to either side with the higher affinity for the cation (H+) and anion (OH-). </span>

Round (R) seed shape is dominant to wrinkled (r) seed shape in pea plants. If an RR plant is crossed with an rr plant, what is t

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

The correct answer is b. All round seeds

Explanation:

If an RR plant is crossed with an rr plant than all the phenotype will produce round seed and the frequency of the Round seed plant to wrinkled seed plant would be 4:0.

R R

r Rr Rr

So all the phenotypes will be heterozygous dominant for the round seed which means that all phenotypes will have a single dominant allele for round seed which is enough to express round seeds in the phenotypes.

Evaluate the relative environments inside and outside the cell when a cell is said to be in dynamic equilibrium with its environ

zloy xaker [14]

<span>When a cell is in a dynamic equilibrium with its environment, this means that the salt/water concentration inside the cell is equal to the salt/water concentration outside the cell. It is called an equilibrium because no transport of molecules is needed since the concentrations are already the same.</span>

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

This question is incomplete, the complete part is asking to identify the variables of the experimental statement i.e. dependent and the independent variables.

Independent variable: different amounts of time light is on

Dependent variable: Number of eggs laid by chicken

Explanation:

In a scientific experiment, variables, which are factors that can be altered, are used. These variables are independent and dependent variables.

An independent variable is that variable that is subject to manipulation or control by the experimenter in order to bring about a change in the dependent variable. For this experiment, the independent variable is the DIFFERENT AMOUNT OF TIME LIGHT IS ON.

On the other hand, a variable is said to be dependent if it is the measurable or responding variable. The response of the dependent variable is dependent on the independent variable. In this experiment, the dependent variable is the NUMBER OF EGGS LAID BY CHICKENS. The number of eggs laid (dependent variable) is dependent on the amount of time light is on (independent variable).
