Answer:
'Genetically modified organisms' are organisms which have been altered genetically using genetic engineering. Genetically modified foods should be labelled since they allow the user to understand and to give them the choice to either eat them or not.
Explanation:
<u>Genetic engineering</u> is the process by which GMO are produced. Genetic engineering allows changes to be made at genetic level where new sequences of genes are introduced or deleted though techniques like <em>selective breeding</em> or <em>mutation breeding</em>.
Certain advantages and disadvantages of genetically modified food are stated below:
- In agriculture, crops are produced with better yield and taste.
- The crops are also made resistant to pests and insects.
- The seeds mature quickly.
- Few examples of GM foods are Golden rice, Flavr savr tomatoes, Bt cotton, etc.
Disadvantages of GMO:
- The new traits introduced can cause adverse <em>health reactions</em>.
- If these resistant varieties cross breed they might result in production of 'super weeds'.
Foods must be labelled since there might be health issues caused by them. The nutritional value of the food might be changed which should be observed if it is to be given to infants.
Answer:
The correct answer is- Rhizoids
Explanation:
Mosses are the small plants that don't bear flowers, stems, and roots and they grow in clumps. As they do not have root they developed root-like structures to anchor in the soil called rhizoids. They show a similar structure with the root hairs of higher land plants and also perform similar functions.
As mosses do not contain any stem and roots for transporting water therefore they usually grow in moist conditions where water is plenty and dry very quickly when surface water is removed.
Therefore rhizoids are the anchoring structures that mosses have instead of roots.
The animal that the rainforest contains is a butterfly in Peru. I hope this helps u :)
The answer is "because water is produced as a by-product"...the word dehydration should also be a major clue because that means water loss.
