Answer:

Since genetically engineered (GE) crops were introduced in 1996, their use in the United States has grown rapidly, accounting for 80-90 percent of soybean, corn, and cotton acreage in 2009. To date, crops with traits that provide resistance to some herbicides and to specific insect pests have benefited adopting farmers by reducing crop losses to insect damage, by increasing flexibility in time management, and by facilitating the use of more environmentally friendly pesticides and tillage practices. However, excessive reliance on a single technology combined with a lack of diverse farming practices could undermine the economic and environmental gains from these GE crops. Other challenges could hinder the application of the technology to a broader spectrum of crops and uses.

It has both improved and made worse animal agriculture. New technology allows us to easily extract milk from cows, but at the cost of the cow itself. We are able to get milk but the cow is forced to produce milk and calves for our enjoyment of milk.

The correct answer is option b, that is, the addition of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.

If the concentration of carbon dioxide upsurges in the atmosphere due to the enhanced rate of outgassing, there will be a constant elevation in the global temperature. The elevating temperature and more dissolved carbon dioxide will result in enhanced weathering of crystal rocks as a consequence of faster rate of reactions and greater acidity.

1. A mutation of a human gene blocks harmful viruses from infecting cells. How can the mutation be classified?

Yuri [45]

Answer:

It is a beneficial mutation.

Explanation: Mutations are permanent changes in the nucleotide sequence of a DNA. Mutations can beneficial, neutral and harmful or deleterious. When change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA a mutation enhances the effectiveness of a protein or improves the protein function, it is said to be beneficial. When a mutation causes the synthesis of a protein which have the same amino acid as the original protein and performs the same function as the original protein, it is said to be silent or neutral. When a mutation results in the synthesis of a protein with an altered amino acid sequence and a nonfunctional protein, it is said to be harmful.
