Biofuel is an experimental resource created through the use of living matter. It is a plant-based fuel and a renewable resource

that can be used as a substitute to traditional fuel. A research team has recently discovered a “switch” that affects cell growth of a red algae used in the production of biofuel. Through the inactivation of this switch researchers observed a drastic increase in the production of red algae. If researchers are able to successfully recreate the effects of this mechanism, a wide range of industries will be interested in the purchase of this research. What should the research team take into consideration when analyzing the negative environmental effects of their findings?
a loss in biodiversity due to the replanting of the same modified crops each year

the decrease in the use of nonrenewable resources like gasoline that will occur as a result

an increase of payment coming from interested industries that they can be used to fund future research

the increase in bioplastics, also made from algae, that can phase out single-use plastics like plastic shopping bags

The answer is; a loss in biodiversity due to the replanting of the same modified crops each year


Monoculture has a drastic effect on biodiversity. Monoculture reduces the genetic diversity in a region and hence the environment is unable to maintain itself. This makes the environment less adaptable to environmental changes since natural selection acts on genetic diversity. Biodiversity is also important for living communities because it provides critical ecosystem services and resources critical for life, such as nutrient cycling.

What is genetic biodiversity?
Nady [450]

Answer:

So it would be the first one, The variation in biological factors affecting a species.

Explanation:

Genetic diversity is the total number of genetic characteristics in the genetic makeup of a species, it ranges widely from the number of species to differences within species and can be attributed to the span of survival for a species.

All forms of life on earth, whether microbes, plants, animals, or human beings, contain genes. Genetic diversity is the sum of genetic information contained in the genes of individual plants, animals, and micro-organisms. Each species is the storehouse of an immense amount of genetic information in the form of traits, characteristics, etc. The number of genes ranges from about 1000 in bacteria to more than 400 000 in many flowering plants. Each species consists of many organisms and virtually no two members of the same species are genetically identical.

An important conservation consequence of this is that even if an endangered species is saved from extinction it has probably lost some of its internal diversity. Consequently, when populations expand again, they become more genetically uniform than their ancestors. There are mathematical formulas to express a genetically effective population size that explain the genetic effects on populations that have gone through a bottleneck before expanding again such as the African cheetah or the North American bison. Subsequent inbreeding in small populations may result in:

a) reduced fertility and

b) increased susceptibility to disease.

Genetic differentiation within species occurs as a result of sexual reproduction, in which genetic differences between individuals are combined in their offspring to produce new combinations of genes or from mutations causing changes in the DNA. Genetic diversity is usually mentioned with reference to agriculture and maintaining food security. This is because genetic erosion of several crops has already occurred leading to the world's dependence for food on just a few species. Currently, a mere 100-odd species account for 90% of the supply of food crops, and three crops – rice, maize, and wheat – account for 69% of the calories and 56% of the proteins that people derive from plants.

In which reproductive cycle of the virus does the viral DNA integrates with the host DNA?
zzz [600]

Answer:

Bacteriophages have a lytic or lysogenic cycle.

Explanation:

The lytic cycle leads to the death of the host, whereas the lysogenic cycle leads to integration of phage into the host genome. Bacteriophages inject DNA into the host cell, whereas animal viruses enter by endocytosis or membrane fusion.
