Scientists have been genetically modifying food crops since the mid 1990's. As a result, scientists have been able to produce cr

ops that are more disease resistant. What could be seen as a risk associated with using genetically modified crops? A) reduction in nutritional value of the food crop B) plants can be "tailor made" for the desired trait C) crops may cause an increase of allergic reactions in humans D) crop production would be increased due to greater disease resistance

C) Crops may cause an increase of allergic reactions in humans.

Answer:

The correct answer would be C) crops may cause an increase of allergic reactions in humans.

Transgenic crops are the crops in which the genome is modified through genetic engineering techniques. It usually involves the introduction of a gene from different species which provide desired traits such as disease resistance, high nutrition value et cetera.

Due to genetic modification, the crops may act cause disease or allergic reactions in humans.  

Our body may produce immunogenic or allergic reaction towards the genetically modified crops.

What is the path that sperm travels, starting from the seminiferous tubules and ending at the location of fertilization?
Dennis_Churaev [7]
The sperm start travels in the seminiferous tubules of the testes where spermatozoa are born, and then transport to the epididymis which sperm passes to the vas deferens and it ended at the utero-tubal junction where egg fertilizes in the fallopian tubes.

explain how complete dominance, co dominance, incomplete dominance, and sex linked traits are inherited and expressed differentl
dlinn [17]
<span> COMPLETE DOMINANCE:
</span>
<span>Mendel concluded that some alleles are dominant and others are recessive. When one dominant allele is present, it's enough to make the recessive allele unexpressed (this is what happens in heterozygous individuals). In other words, it 'hides' or masks the recessive allele.

CO-DOMINANCE:

-a condition in which both alleles are dominant.
</span>
There are alleles that have the capacity of dominating at the same time, and when an organism is heterozygotic, both alleles are expressed.
For example, a white chicken(WW) crossed with a black chicken (BB):  100% of the offspring being WB. With this genotype, they have black feathers and white feathers.
It's not a blend of colors, but a case where both are expressing.

INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE:
-a condition with none of the alleles is dominant or recessive, so the traits blend in the phenotype.

Some alleles are not completely dominant, and when that's the case the phenotype of a heterozygous organism will be a mix between the phenotypes of its homozygous parents.

For example:
plant 1: RR -red
plant 2: rr- white

By crossing this plants we will obtain 100%  of the offspring with a color mix: pink.(genotype: Rr)
Red and white are not completely dominating so it results in a blend of colors.

SEX LINKED TRAITS

Sex chromosomes contain genes that determine the sex of a person. Two X chromosomes result in a female and one X plus a Y result in a male.

In those chromosomes, there are genes specific for each gender, and in those chromosomes, there are genes that code for certain traits- the sex-linked traits.
These traits will be inherited according to the sex chromosomes they receive from their parents.
