Scientists often want to know if the genetically transformed organism can pass its new traits on to its offspring and future gen
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Quickly

Explanation:

The more quickly that a new generation of organisms develops and reproduces the faster that you will be able to observe whether the new traits  have been passed on to the new generation or not, and so on if you want to see this effect over several generations. For example, if you have genetically modified corn, you just have to wait one year to see if next year's generation of corn will have the modified trait or not. Conversely, if you geneticall modify an apple, you have to wait several years until the new generation of apples mature and are able to flower and produce the next generation of apple embryos.

Why are shellfish population often a good indicator of water quality
Pachacha [2.7K]
"Water quality" may include the amounts of dissolved oxygen and the levels of algal growth, pollutants which may be present and the pH level. Water quality effects also which types of organisms can survive in a body of water.
 Shellfish require a high level of dissolved oxygen and their abundance is an indication of good water quality. Shellfish are sensitive to changes in the ecosystem and they cannot easily escape changes in the water quality. These are one of the reasons why shellfish are good indicators of water quality.

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Two terms might apply for this situation: "<u>jump dispersion</u>" and "human-assisted invasions".

Explanation:

  • Dispersion: It refers to the <em>change in an organism's range or distribution area</em>. Different ecological and biogeographical processes might be involved in organisms' dispersion. The term "<u>jump dispersion</u>" refers to a <em>few individuals in a short time that can cross a barrier and occupy a new area</em>. In this situation, the establishment is not always for sure. For this to happen, they must reproduce and start a new population of a certain size that can survive to the new conditions.
  • Biologic Invasions: It refers to <em>new species that establish in a new area far or out of their original distribution range</em>. Once established, these species might be <em>considered exotic or invasive, according to their reproductive rate, population growth, and interaction with native species</em>. Biologic invasions are <u><em>natural processes</em></u>, that occur in small groups of individuals that can expand to other ecosystems, and the appearing or despairing of barriers promotes their expansion.  <em>But these biologic invasions have accelerated by human beings</em>, referring to this as "<u>human-assisted invasions</u>". These are the cases in which <em>men transport species from one place to the other for different uses or purposes.</em>

It is <em>very common</em> for these species to <em>scape and start new populations</em> in the <em>new area</em>, where they <em>have </em><em>less environmental pressure</em> -fewer predators, more resources, better nitches- than in their origin area, which <em>favors their establishment</em>.

The exposed situation in the example is a case of "human-assisted invasions". It might also be considered as jump dispersion (because a few individuals of the species crossed a barrier and established in a new area) but assisted by humans.
