6 0

Answer:

Genetic engineering is the process of using recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology to alter the genetic makeup of an organism.

Disadvantages

The nutritional value of foods can be less. .

Pathogens adapt to the new genetic profiles

There can be negative side effects that are unexpected

The amount of diversity developed can be less favorable

Copyrighted genetic engineering can have costly consequences.

Advantages

More nutritious food.

Tastier food.

Disease- and drought-resistant plants that require fewer environmental resources (such as water and fertilizer)

Less use of pesticides.

Increased supply of food with reduced cost and longer shelf life.

Faster growing plants and animals.

Answer:

macroevolution

Explanation:

Macroevolution is said to be the evolutionary changes that occur on a larger scale beyond a single species as a result of evolutionary forces such as mutation, gene flow, genetic drift. Macroevolution, unlike microevolution, usually results into the emergence of two new species with pronounced changes. The event as illustrated in the question is an example of macroevolution.

If you were making a product of artificial "Grow-Lites" for plants, what color light should
UNO [17]

Answer:

<u>-blue and red light</u>

Explanation:

Plants produce sugars or carbohydrates during the process of photosynthesis. They absorb light energy from the electromagnetic spectrum with pigments within the thylakoid membrane, like chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b.

Chlorophylls are made of ringed molecules chlorine, a hydrogenated form of porphyrin with a magnesium ion bonded to four atoms of nitrogen. Chlorophyll a shows the most absorption of red light  (642 nm) and blue light (372 nm); while chlorophyll b shows the most absorption at 626 nm and 392 nm.  

Different types of chlorophyll sidechains change the molecules' absorption ranges; A's methyl group is bound at carbon 7,  B's aldehyde (CHO) ring is bound at carbon 7.  Both absorb light from orange-red and violet-blue wavelengths. As such, the best light wavelengths for photosynthesis are within the blue and red wavelengths (425–450 nm) and (600–700 nm).
