Answer
The main reason being the amount of food available.
Explanation:
Think of it this way:
If an animal is trying to find food but another species is looking for the same prey then its going to be increasingly difficult for the species to find prey and if there's not enough of the prey species then the population of the predator to go down.
That is why its considered a limiting factor.
The correct sentences are the following:
A) Antibiotic resistance in bacterial populations is caused by natural selection of bacteria that inherit mutations that make them resistant to the antibiotics.
C) Crossing-over causes a shuffling of allele combinations during meiosis as the alleles from each parent form new combinations on homologous chromosomes.
E) When two bacteria are linked during conjugation, the donor cell passes DNA to the recipient cell which causes genetic recombination.
Explanation:
These three options are associated with the generation and preservation of genetic diversity
Answer:
Corn crop is resistant to herbicides because they are genetically modified through genetic engineering. There are some bacteria which are resistant to herbicides i. e. no effect of chemicals on that bacteria. So the biotechnologist take a gene from this resistant bacteria and induced it in the corn plant which becomes the part of their genetic makeup. So when we apply herbicide, the gene produces some enzymes which cancel the adverse affect of herbicide and only weeds are affected.
