The "GM" here refers to "genetically modified" plants - they are modified by food engineers to better suit our wishes.
One benefit of those plants is that those plants would be better for humans: for example they would have sweeter flesh or less seeds (this is something that happened to watermelon through the selection of best watermelons throughout the centuries).
Answer:
a. resolve the branching patterns (evolutionary history) of the Lophotrochozoa
b. (the same, it is repeated)
Explanation:
Nemertios (ribbon worms) and foronids (horseshoe worms) are closely related groups of lofotrocozoa. Lofotrocozoans, or simply trocozoans (= tribomastic celomados with trocophoric larva) are a group of animals that includes annelids, molluscs, endoprocts, brachiopods and other invertebrates. They represent a crucial superphylum for our understanding of the evolution of bilateral symmetry animals. However, given the inconsistency between molecular and morphological data for these groups, their origins were not entirely clear. In the work linked above, the first records of genomes of the Nemertine worm Notospermus geniculatus and the foronid Phoronis australis are presented, along with transcriptomes along the adult bodies. Our phylogenetic analyzes based on the genome place Nemertinos as the sister group of the taxon that contains Phoronidea and Brachiopoda. It is shown that lofotrocozoans share many families of genes with deuterotomes, suggesting that these two groups retain a common genetic repertoire of bilaterals that do not possess ecdisozoans (arthropods, nematodes) or platizoos (platelets, sydermats). Comparative transcriptomics demonstrates that foronid and brachiopod lofophores are similar not only morphologically, but also at the molecular level. Although the lofophore and vertebrates show very different cephalic structures, the lofophorees express the vertebrate head genes and neuronal marker genes. This finding suggests a common origin of the bilaterial pattern of the head, although different types of head will evolve independently in each lineage. In addition, we recorded innate immunity expansions of lineage-specific and toxin-related genes in both lofotrocozoa and deuterostomes. Together, this study reveals a dual nature of lofotrocozoans, in which the conserved and specific characteristics of the lineage shape their evolution.

Plasmodesmata can change in number, and when dilated can provide a passageway macromolecules
Plasmodesmata are essential for the intercellular transfer of both big informational macromolecules like proteins and smaller signaling chemicals in plant cells.
- Plasmodesmata are membrane-lined structures that offer a high-conductance, aqueous channel for the transportation of information in the form of chemicals and macromolecules, such as transcription factors, from cell to cell.
- The intimate interaction of the plasma membrane with the endoplasmic reticulum results in the formation of plasmodesmata.
- The degree to which a particular cell acts as an individual or as a component of the entire organism is determined by the distribution and unitary conductance of plasmodesmata as well as other positional variables that affect development.
