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.

Dysentery can lead to ________ and/or organ failure if medical attention is not sought in time.
klasskru [66]

Answer:

Option-B

Explanation:

Dysentery is an abnormal condition that is caused by the infection of the intestine in humans. The infection could be caused by the bacteria or the amoeba.

The disease can be characterized by the cramps in the stomach, diarrhea, and the loss of blood through feces.

Untreated dysentery can lead to the loss of a large amount of blood through feces and will lower the amount of blood in humans.

This severe loss of blood will give rise to another disease called hypovolemic shock is which the heart fails to pump enough blood to the organs due to which the other organs of the body can fail to work properly.  This condition can lead to death.

Thus, Option-B is correct.

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Answer below

Explanation:

Well when natural selection occurs, genes that don't benefit the speicies, or more accurately, harm it by ruining camoflague. Natural selection can result in one creature evolving into 3 different species when those creatures get put into different environments that promote genetic mutations that help them survive. After a long while of genetic mutations coming and going to adapt to their environment, those three members of the species are no longer the same species because they've all adapted to different environments.

Greg is breeding leopard geckos and wants to produce a new color morph. He crosses a homozygous red morph with a homozygous whit
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Codominance

Explanation:

Codominance occurs when two heterozygous allele for a trait is expressed equally in the an organism's phenotype with neither allele being dominant or recessive. In codominance, none of the allele hides the expression of the other allele. So when two alleles are crossed, the offspring carries a combination of the parents phenotype without anyone masking the other.

From the question,  the type of genetic pattern of the leopard geckos display is codominance.
