“Roundup Ready” soybeans are a type of genetically modified (GM) crop. Roundup is a brand of popular weed killer. Roundup is spr

ayed on unwanted plants in order to kill the plants. This is good for killing weeds that might take up space in the garden. However, farmers need to keep their crops safe from the weed killer.
Farmers use Roundup to kill other weeds that compete with their crops for water, nutrients, and light. Roundup weed killer is toxic to nearly all plants, not just weeds. If you are using it in your garden, you need to shield any other plants you want to grow from the spray.

The Roundup Ready soybeans have a special trait that allows farmers to use Roundup without fear of harming their crops. Roundup Ready soybeans have been engineered so that they cannot be harmed by Roundup.

Roundup kills plants by blocking a protein is critical for the survival of the plant. The Roundup Ready soybeans are able to grow when sprayed by Roundup because they carry a modified version of a gene for this protein. This modified version of the gene originally comes from a bacteria. By putting this bacteria gene into a soybean plant, scientists have caused the Roundup Ready soybeans to make a different protein than other plants. This different protein cannot be blocked by Roundup weed killer, which means that the Roundup Ready soybeans are immune to Roundup.

Genetic engineering allowed humans to put the modified gene into the soybeans.

Because of this special gene, farmers growing Roundup Ready soybeans can spray their fields with weed killer and not harm the soybean plants.

Write some notes about this.

How do you figure out longitude and latitude...
Feliz [49]

Your question could mean one of two different things.

You could be asking "How do I figure out the longitude and latitude
of, let's say, Killeen, Texas."

The answer to that is:  You look on a map or a globe that has latitude
and longitude lines printed on it, find Killeen, Texas, and estimate its
coordinates as well as you can from the lines printed nearest to it.

Or you could be asking "If I'm out in the middle of the ocean at night,
how do I figure out the longitude and latitude of where I am ?"

I'm afraid the answer to that is far too complicated to write here. 
All I can say is: The science of "Navigation" was developed over a period
of hundreds of years.  If you look at the history of sea exploration through
the centuries, you see how the explorers ventured farther and farther from
their home ports as time went on.  The reason for that is that they were
developing better and better methods of figuring out where they were as
they sailed.

And about 20 years ago, that all changed.  Drastically.  Now, anybody at all
can walk into his neighborhood sporting-goods store, and buy a little device
that fits in his shirt pocket or in the palm of his hand, and whenever he has a
view of the sky, it can give him the latitude and longitude of the place where
he's standing, more accurately than the best navigators in the US Navy or
the British Armada could ever calculate it before.

That was when countries started putting up bunches of little satellites
to broadcast signals to our pocket receivers.

The satellites that the US put up are called the Global Positioning System . . .
the GPS.
