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.

Drew observed in an experiment that algae in a nearby lake could be found at six meters below the water's surface on a clear day
Elenna [48]

Answer:

The depth at which Drew found the algae

Explanation:

The dependent variable was the depth at which he found the algae, because that is what he measured on each day.

The independent variable was the sky conditions, since that changed from clear to cloudy, which impacted the dependent variable/the depth of the algae.

Which of the following is true?
Arlecino [84]

During meiosis but not during mitosis, which of the following is true? __.

A haploid gametes are produced that are identical in their allelic composition

B the cytoplasm divides

C chromosomes line up in the center of the cell during metaphase

D genetic variation among the daughter cells is increased

E two identical daughter cells are produced

Answer:

D. genetic variation among the daughter cells is increased

Explanation:

Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information. Meiosis occurs in germ cells, as a result; genetic variation among the daughter cells is increased. These cells (germ cells) are our sex cells – sperm in males, eggs in females.

In meiosis, the haploid gametes that are produced are not identical in their allelic composition.

In prophase 1, the chromosome pair up.

During metaphase, The chromosome pairs line up next to each other along the center (equator) of the cell.
