Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

" Scientists have changed the DNA of a type of cabbage so that it contains a tiny amount of poison from a scorpion’s tail. The poison in the cabbage kills caterpillars that try to eat it. What kind fo example has been exhibit? A). gene therapy B). selective breeding C). genetic engineering D). artificial selection "

Answer:

C). genetic engineering

Explanation:

Genetic engineering is the direct manipulation of an organism's genome using biotechnology.

It is a set of technologies, based on recombinant DNA technology, used to alter the genetic composition of a living being, including the isolation, manipulation and transfer of intra and interspecific genes to produce new or improved organisms.

An example of the use of biotechnology can be seen in the question above, where the cabbage's DNA was manipulated so that it could release toxins that would kill pests that tried to feed on its leaves.

In chickens, comb shape is determined by two independent genes (R and P). A walnut comb is produced when at least one dominant a
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Option B, Rr pp × rr Pp

Explanation:

Given

Walnut Comb is produces when  one dominant allele R is present at one gene locus and at least one dominant allele P is present at a second gene locus - R* P*

Rose Comb - at least one dominant allele is present at the first locus and two recessive alleles are present at the second locus - R* pp

Pea comb - two recessive alleles are present at the first locus and at least one dominant allele is present at the second  - rr P*

Single comb - two recessive alleles are present at the first and the second locus  - rrpp

Parent are rose combed and pea combed

For being rose genotype must be R* pp

and for being pea combed genotype must be rr P*

Rr pp x rr Pp

will  produce

Walnut comb  with genotype Rr Pp

Single comb  with genotype rrpp

and pea comb  with genotype rrPp

Hence, option B is correct
