Farmers should discontinue the use of Bt corn (genetically modified maize)as their negative affects on the health of the consumers have not been fully over ruled by the recent research. In my opinion, genetically modified crops, although, are resistant to various pests, should not be encouraged because of the toxic chemical contents used during their production. There's a strong likelihood of these toxic chemicals entering our food chain and also being harmful to other naturally growing plants, hence there's a need for more research before this idea is pursued.
The correct answer is: A. How does changing the amount of water affect the growth of corn?
While options B, C & D are not impossible to test, option A is the only question that can be tested using quantitative methods, such as statistical analysis. The question in option A states: "How does changing the amount of water affect the growth of corn?". This question is easily testable using scientific investigation, because controlled or measured amounts of water can be added to corn, and the consequent growth rate of corn can be easily measured and recorded. However, the questions in options B, C & D cannot be precisely measured using quantitative tools, since they aim to measure qualitative (subjective) factors, such as: ethics, happiness and disappointment.
Answer:
City A
Explanation:
The temperatures are very high, but the amount of precipitation is very low. In city B, the amount of precipitation is high, meaning that it is not a desert.
ANSWER:
Problem faced include; habitat loss and degradation, disease outbreak, invasive species, pollution, over‐exploitation/overfishing, climate change etc.
EXPLANATION:
Problem:
Habitat loss and degradation, disease outbreak, invasive species, pollution, over‐exploitation/overfishing, and climate change are notable problems experienced by freshwater and marine fishes.
Solution:
Anthropogenic activities and stressors that rapidly threaten freshwater and marine fishes are curbed through legislation and other means to prevent extinction of fishes.
Through conservation programs that plans for individual species to more species of entire faunas of a particular location also boost population size and prevent hunting of threatened or endangered species in both realms.
Overtime, genetically modified fishes which can develop resistance to diseases are introduced to the realm.
Moreso, waste channels through which pollutants gets into the water bodies are well-treated for safety of fishes.
