Base your answer on the information and photograph below and on your knowledge of biology. Transgenic (GMO) Tomatoes The use of

pesticides to control insects costs billions of dollars every year. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are an attempt to reduce this cost. Tomato plants that are genetically modified can make proteins that are poisonous to the insects that feed on them. Using these GMO tomatoes would reduce the need for the chemical control of insects. Identify the process responsible for passing the gene for insect resistance in a leaf cell of a genetically modified tomato plant on to the cells that develop from it.

Answer:

The correct answer is - mitotic division or mitosis.

Explanation:

GMOs or genetically modified organisms are organisms, plants, animals whose DNA or genes are altered with the help of genetic engineers. In this case, transgenic tomatoes that are insect resistant, are produced to reduce the cost spend on using pesticides.

These altered genes transfer in the bacterium that reproduces in and passing the gene for insect resistance in a leaf cell onto the cells that develop from it.

2- Explain how land that gets broken up can<br> contribute to loss of species diversity
Minchanka [31]

Explanation:

Broken up land land contributes to a loss of species diversity through geographoc isolation. Geographic isolation is the physical barrier dividing the communities. It usually stops the gene flow between species in a process called allopatric speciation, contributing to reproductive isolation.

Further Explanation:

Spontaneous modifications in the genome can occur during the cycle of cell division, called mutations. These errors occur as copies of the DNA are produced within the cell; mutations may range from small modifications called single nucleotide polymorphisms to large-scale deletions and multi-gene additions.

Such mutations create variations that within a group become dominant, resulting in the creation of different, genetically distinct organisms called species.

Myocardium, that's because myocardium simply means 'muscular tissue of the heart'. It is not pericardium or connective tissue as these are only small, specific areas of the heart and a heart attack can cause cells to die anywhere in the heart.

What is the process in which cells obtain energy without using oxygen?
Sedaia [141]
Fermentation is the process  that releases energy without  using oxygen . In cellular respiration, anaerobic fermentation contrasts with aerobic cell respiration. Both processes convert glucose from food into adenosine triphosphate for energy for cells.
