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.

Mark you brainelest if you get this question right. At a convergent boundary between continental and oceanic crust, what feature
seropon [69]

At some convergent boundaries, an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate. Oceanic crust tends to be denser and thinner than continental crust, so the denser oceanic crust gets bent and pulled under, or subducted, beneath the lighter and thicker continental crust. This forms what is called a subduction zone.

Key deer, a subspecies of white-tailed deer, are only found on a few islands in the Florida Keys. They are tiny deer that weigh
Helen [10]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is limited food and water resources favored the survival of smaller deer.</em>

Explanation:

The islands where the Key deer lived had limited food and water resources. As migration was not possible for these species because the white-tailed deer had more adaptations as compared to them, hence they had to somehow survive in these areas with limited food and water resources. Limited food resources were the reason that the Key deer could not grow properly and hence evolved to have very little weight.

What Sister chromatids line up along the middle of the cell.
Zina [86]
Metaphase. During metaphase, spindle fibers attach to the centromere of each pair of sister chromatids The sister chromatids line up at the equator, or center, of the cell. The spindle fibers ensure that sister chromatids will separate and go to different daughter cells when the cell divides
