8. Why are the proteins produced by a GMO crop monitored and evaluated? O A. To determine whether the organism will cause an all
ergic reaction O B. To evaluate whether the Bt toxin is produced O C. To measure hormones present in dairy products O D. To examine the need for additional fertilizers
To better understand why GMOs were initially created, we have to take a look at the evolution of crop modification and how we got the foods we eat today. Farmers have intentionally changed the genetic makeup of all the crops they have grown and their livestock since domestic agriculture began 10,000 years ago.
Decline in the global population of amphibians is due to multiple reasons which include:
A moist ecosystem is necessary for amphibians especially for the purpose of their reproduction. The drainage of the wetlands deprives them of their habitat.
Pollutants adversely affects the survival of the gametes, tadpoles or the adult amphibians by acting as toxic agents and inhibiting their normal metabolic function.
Infectious diseases often cause their death resulting their population to decline.
Global climate warming affects their normal metabolic growth and development and hence causes their population to decline.
The average energy of motion of particles in a substance is its kinetic energy. Therefore, temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance. The thermal energy of the substance is the total energy of the substance.
Cell division by mitosis occurs in all human body cells except the gonads (sex cells). During mitosis, the DNA is exactly copied and a new daughter cell created with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell, ie 46.
