“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.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

major cities

bodies of water

international borders

Explanation:

The political maps are type of specialized maps that are showing the reader of the map the countries, be it in the whole world, in a region, or in a smaller area.

These maps are always showing the international borders between the countries, which is actually its main purpose, differentiation of the countries and representation of their borders.

Very often, the major cities tend to be represented as well, and it can only be the capital cities, or cities that are very large and important.

The major bodies of water too tend to be represented, as the borders between the countries often go through a water body, or the water bodies are surrounding a country.

Every country is usually depicted with different color, so that the reader of the map is able to differentiate the countries much more easily.

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Global Climate change  

Climate is the general weather conditions of a place over many years. Climate change is a significant variation of average weather conditions. i.e., conditions becoming warmer, wetter, or drier over several decades or more. It’s that longer-term trend that differentiates climate change from natural weather variability. Although climate change and global warming are often used interchangeably, global warming is the recent rise in the global average temperature near the earth’s surface is just one aspect of climate change.

The effects of global climate change on earth's climate are as follows:

1. Extreme weather condition

2. Air Pollution

3. Health risks

4. Rising seas

5. More acidic, warmer oceans

6. Imperiled global ecosystem

Explanation:

The effects of global climate change

World Economic Forum’s 2016 Global Risks Report, reported that the failure to mitigate and adapt to climate change will be “the most impactful risk” facing communities worldwide in the coming decade ahead even of weapons of mass destruction and water crises. Blame its cascading effects: As climate change transforms global ecosystems, it affects everything from the places we live to the water we drink to the air we breathe.
