One possible negative side effect of planting corn that is resistant to weed-killer is that: the resistance gene could be transferred to actual weeds, making farming more difficult.
<h3>What is genetic engineering?</h3>
Genetic engineering is also referred to as genetic modification and it can be defined as a technological process that involves the use of laboratory-based technologies to alter or modify the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) makeup of a living organism, in order to improve on both its physical and chemical conditions, or cure (correct) a genetic disorder in some cases.
Based on historical records, corn is a genetically modified crop with an ability to resist weed-killer, which makes it possible for it survive even when it is exposed to herbicide that are designed and developed to kill weeds.
However, one of the demerits of planting a genetically modified corn that is resistant to weed-killer is that the genes responsible for this resistance could be transferred to actual weeds, which would eventually make farming to be more difficult for farmers.

Answer: The quantity of water in the beaker will reduce. The cell will increase size.
Explanation: There is difference in water concentration between the cell and the beaker, therefore water will move from the beaker into the cell causing the cell to expand and the quantity of water in the beaker to decrease. There will be movement of water molecules from an area of high water concentration (beaker) to an area of low water concentration (the cell) through a selectively permeable cell membrane. The aim of this is to create an equilibrium between the water concentration in the cell and that in the beaker.
