These weeds are growing in a farmer's field. The weeds compete with the soybean plants the farmer grows, so he needs to get rid

of them. For a few years, the former relies on manually removing the woods, but that is labor intensive and limits how much crop he can grow. The farmer decided to change his crop to genetically modified soybeans that are herbicide resistant. This allows the farmer to use chemicals to remove the weeds. With this GM soybean, the chemical kills the woods but does not harm the crop. For many years this works, and allows the farmer to expand his farm and grow more soybeans. But then, one of the farmer's fields has a large weed plant remaining after the field has been sprayed with herbicide
1. Which of the following is the likely reason the weed has remained?
a. The weed needed to be resistant in order to survive, so it became resistant
b. A mutation appeared in one weed plant that made that weed not susceptible to the herbicide
2. Which of the following is likely to happen if that weed stays in place?
a. The trait will spread to nearby weeds
b. The weed will survive long enough to reproduce
c. In time, the herbicide will no longer be effective on that field.

Answer:

1) A mutation appeared in one weed plant that made that weed not   susceptible to the herbicide ( B )

2) The weed will survive long enough to reproduce ( B )

Explanation:

1) The most likely reason the weed remained is :  A mutation appeared in one weed plant that made that weed not susceptible to the herbicide

The weed plant must have undergone some mutation in order to be resistant to the herbicide which would kill the weed before now

2) The most likely thing that will happen if the weed stays in place in that farm is : The weed will survive long enough to reproduce

The trait or mutation of the weed cannot just spread to other weeds nearby it can only spread by reproducing more weeds of same mutation

Plant hormonal regulation differs from animal hormonal regulation in that
Over [174]

Answer:

Plant hormonal regulation differs from animal hormonal regulation in that there are no dedicated hormone-producing organs in plants as there are in animals.

Explanation:

<em>Plant hormones control different functions in plants such as growth and development.</em> These hromones are signal molecules that affect gene expression and transcription levels. What diferentiates them from animals is that in plants there are no dedicated hormone producing organs. For example, that plants and insects produce their hormones differently.

Can someone please explain what gives air its weight?
maks197457 [2]
Simple. Air has mass. And if air has mass it also has weight. You can feel air when the wind blows. Or do an experiment. Weigh an empty container. Then pump it to a vacuum. Weigh it again. The difference is the weight of the air inside.

Fdsci 101 what general trend do you observe relative to the masses of these species? question 3 options: all species basically h
Alexandra [31]

The third and last option is correct.


Species in the past (referring to dinosaurs) were more massive.

\bf~CO_{2} levels where higher in the past, which meant that plants prospered during that time since they had a easy access to food. That contributes to the fact that herbivores could grow bigger because there was more food. Which in turn, increases the size of early carnivores which eat bigger herbivores.




Hope it helped,


Happy homework/ study/ exam!
