Answer:

a. an example of a transgenic tomato (also called GMO tomato)

Explanation:

Genetic modification is the process by which an organim's genome is manipulated in order to achieve a desirable feature in such organism. Also called genetic engineering, genetic modification involves using biotechnology to alter an organims genetic composition. The organism whose genome is manipulated is called GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISM (GMO) or TRANSGENIC ORGANISM.

In this case, a tomato with a gene from a fish that helps the tomato resist frost damage is said to be an example of GMO or transgenic organism because the genome of the tomato plant has been manipulated by inserting a desirable gene (resistance to frost) into it.

Three risks that are associated with genetically engineered plants

sineoko [7]

Answer:

three risks that are associated with genetically engineered plants?

Three risks involved in genetically engineered plants include;

Resistance

Mutation

Explanation:

Over time plants resist genetically engineered process as a result of exposure to such measure over time which enable such plant to develop resistance over time and pass the traits to their offspring.

All of the following are true of spermatogenesis EXCEPT: Question 4 options: One spermatogonium produces 4 spermatids Geneticall

viva [34]

Answer: The products are spermatozoa that each have a head, midpiece and tail.

Explanation:

The spermatogenesis can be defined as the process of gamete production in human males. It takes place in the testes in males. In this process the spermatids are produced which are four in number through reductional cell division called as meiosis. Each spermatid is haploid in number and the genetic material present in each is diverse as a result siblings are not identical to each other. The spermatozoa is an immature sperm cell which develops head, middle piece and tail. But it is not a precursor of production of sperm cells via cell division.
