“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.

Answer:

In the history of agriculture, no technology has been adopted so quickly and completely as genetically engineered crops. Particularly useful crops are ones that have an engineered resistance to herbicides. These crops have alluring benefits: reduced crop damage when herbicides are sprayed, easier weed management, and even the potential for environmental benefits. So what’s the problem? Herbicide-resistant weeds. The benefits gleaned from these crops begin to disappear as these superweeds gain prominence on farmlands across world. However, to fully appreciate the current predicament, it is necessary to understand what led to the difficult problem of superweeds. And it starts with the most common herbicide used in agriculture: Roundup.

What is the thermocline?
Elden [556K]

Answer:

Beneath 200 meters, ocean waters cools at a constant rate of 1°C per 100 meters depth.

Explanation:

The ocean water is with the same characteristics throughout all of the oceans. The differences come in differences in temperature, density, salinity, etc. When it comes to temperature, it is what influences the other characteristics, and it is what causes the movement of water in the oceans.

The movement of ocean water occurs because in some parts, the ocean water gets cold, while in others it gets warm. The cold water drops deeper and moves toward the less dense warmer water, and as it gradually warms up itself it rises, pushing the warm water in opposite direction. The water is mixing at the surface, but this is not the case below 200 meters of depth, where water mixing stops. This zone, where the water is not mixing, is known as the thermocline and exists as such throughout all of the oceans.

Since there isn't suggested answers I'll answer you which are not found.
In mid latitude regions of the Earth the climate types that are lacking are the tropical climate types, and the polar climate types. The tropical climate types are concentrated around the Equator and in lower latitudes, while the polar climate types are concentrated around the poles and higher latitudes.
