Answer:

- Society: the use of genetic improving techniques may have a positive impact through crop improvement of traits of agronomic importance such as, for example, resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses.

- Environment: the development of genetically modified crops conferring resistance to pesticides may have a negative effect on wildlife species  (both plants and animals) and humans living in such agroecosystems.

Explanation:

In crops, genetic improvement technologies can be defined as the techniques associated with the development of better crop varieties, i.e., varieties that have higher grain yield, produce more biofuel, higher fiber content, etc. Genetic improvement techniques include, among others, selective breeding and genetically modified organisms. In crops, genetic improvement techniques have the potential to reduce hunger in the world. However, it is important to note that genetic engineering may be associated with the horizontal transference of genes and the development of genetically modified organisms (GMO), which may have harmful effects on wildlife species and humans, thereby GMO crops must be carefully assessed before their release into the field.

The graph below is of directional selection. Which statement can be supported by the evidence shown in the graph?
7nadin3 [17]

<u>Answer</u>: C) Directional selection occurs when one of two extreme phenotypes is selected for.

The type of natural selection known as directional selection is defined in population genetics in the case in which an extreme phenotype is favored over other phenotype. Thus, the population and its allele frequency will evolve towards this end of the trait spectrum (extreme phenotype). This is also the case illustrated in the graph where the right side represents the extreme phenotype.

Ecology and evolution are closely related, as are evolution and genetics. All have an impact on the world around us.
PtichkaEL [24]

Ecology is the science that studies the interaction between living beings and the environment in which they live.

<h3>How can I help with conservation?</h3>

  1. Buy recycled paper avoiding the death of more trees
  2. Have a recycling bin for paper, plastic, metal and glass, to reduce the environmental damage in waste and for the waste to be reused
  3. Recycle toner and ink cartridges from empty printers, to avoid polluting rivers and streams.
  4. If possible buy remanufactured cartridges, avoiding environmental impact
  5. Recycle old newspapers, avoiding the death of more trees.

<h3>What is the evidence for evolution?</h3>

  1. Anatomy. Species may share similar physical features because those features were present in a common ancestor (homologous structures).
  2. Molecular biology. DNA and genetic code reflect the common ancestry of life

With this information, we can conclude that Ecology is concerned with the living beings on the planet and their relationships with each other and with the environment.

What would happen to an ecosystem if an energy level disappeared? This is meaning in a pyramid.
butalik [34]
This has happened before in Yellow Stone National Park in CA. Removing a species form the Pyramid causes the ecosystem to collapse, as species become over hunted and others are starved. One type of organism could become overpopulated, therefor lack of natural variation.

Explain why cold-blooded organisms like reptiles have a higher rate of secondary productivity than warm-blooded mammals.
PIT_PIT [208]
Warm-blooded creatures, like mammals and birds, try to keep the inside of their bodies at a constant temperature. They do this by generating their own heat when they are in a cooler environment, and by cooling themselves when they are in a hotter environment. To generate heat, warm-blooded animals convert the food that they eat into energy. They have to eat a lot of food, compared with cold-blooded animals, to maintain a constant body temperature. Only a small amount of the food that a warm-blooded animal eats is converted into body mass. The rest is used to fuel a constant body temperature.
