Answer:
Explanation:
the advantages include:
disease and drought resistant crops that require fewer environmental resources for them to grow
higher yields harvested as the crops are not attacked by pests resulting in humans receiving more food as well as generating more money from the trading of their crops
increased supply of food at a cheaper life and the crops could have a longer shelf life
crops bound to be healthy as they ae not constantly treated by pesticides that could harm people
reduce the use of pesticides that might be a great move for the betterment of the food supply
they reduce the use of toxins that could harm the environment as well as the animals and people
disadvantages
unexpected or harmful genetic changes that could result in humans health being threatened
the process of genetically modifying the crops is quite expensive
due to the plants becoming pest resistant the pests are bound to have no food hence could die leading to some helpful pests such as beetles or ladybugs that actually benefit the environment going extinct
the production of genetically modified crops results in the disruption of biodiversity as you are favouring one specific organism hence resulting in the disruption of the natural gene flow
the crops are modified hence biotech foods may be a threat to the human health
Answer: C.) Cladistics is based purely on the shared characters between organisms and their ranking in evolutionary history.
Explanation:
Phylogeny is the evolutionary science which derives a relationship among the ancient species with their descendants based upon common genetic, physiological and morphological characteristics. Cladistics represent the study of a group of organisms which exhibit a common ancestor. A clade includes organisms having a common ancestors and exhibit similar traits in them. A clade is sufficient to include the organisms in a phylogenic tree based upon their evolutionary history.
