D) decades ago, the U.S. government mandated that they and other Alaskan natives abandon a nomadic life based on hunting and fishing for sedentism.

Answer:

The correct answer is D)

Decades ago, the U.S. government mandated that they and other Alaskan natives abandon a nomadic life based on hunting and fishing for sedentism.

Explanation:

Sedentism is simply the practice of settling in one geographical location for a long time.

Many governments encourage this to ensure that agricultural systems become developed and more sustainable as was the case in Alaska.

Other governments in some part of the world are also in support albeit for a different reason such as security of lives and property.

Cheers

Describe two potential biological risks of large scale cultivation and use of such genetically modified plants
expeople1 [14]
Risk of large scale production:
1. With an increase in production, there can become managerial problems. Workers can become lax, making of decisions become difficult and communication between workers become hard.
2. A large scale operation, needs technical tools like machines. Finance to buy machines can become a problem and hamper growth.

Risk of Genetically modified plants
1. They can become contaminants. The cross pollinated plants and seeds can travel, and contaminate the gene pool. Thereby, threatening future generations of plants.
2. They can produce side effects. Engineered plants, can lead to development of new toxins, carcinogens and deficiencies of nutrition.
