Answer:

DNA mutations cause cancer or an inability for proper function of the immune system.

Explanation:

DNA is our blueprint, so if something is wrong on the blueprint, then our body will "collapse" like a building (well not always). Let's say, the gene for immune system function is mutated and comes out wrong. That person might not be able to make white blood cells which fight off sickness. Other mutations can also cause cancer, which is a really bad form of sickness.

What is agricultural monoculture and why is that bad for crops?

Katarina [22]

<h2>EXPLANATION:</h2>

<h3>Modern monoculture requires vast amounts of rain for irrigating crops as moisture retention is limited in the soil. A lack of topsoil also increases rain runoff. To achieve this vast amount of extra water it means draining from lakes, rivers, and reservoirs, which is exhausting natural resources and aquatic ecosystems.</h3>
