Answer:

Promoter 2

Explanation:

Promoter 2 is the best choice because the resistance gene will only be expressed in the leaves of the corn plant. Promoter 3 only expresses genes in the corn roots, so the toxin would not be available in the leaves for the pest to eat. Promoters 1 and 4 would express the resistance gene in the leaves of the corn plant, but the toxins would be expressed in the corn cobs as well, which may then be fed to livestock.

Why:

<em>When a species </em><em>adapts</em><em> itself to new environments certain features will change, such as beak size, wing use, and even height, these are all changed depending on what the species does and needs to survive. These birds all changed food sources which made them have to adapt their beaks over time to new sources, and natural color to over generations camouflage themselves better from predators.</em>
