ki77a [65]3 years ago
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:

C. H and O

Explanation:

Almost 99% of the human body's mass is made up of six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus, in that order.

Element   Symbol   % in body

Oxygen       O              65.0

Coal             C               18.5

The human body is composed of 60% water, that is, H2O.

Mars had an orbital period of 1.88 years. In two or more complete sentences,explain how to calculate the average distance from m
Vanyuwa [196]
This is an interesting problem involving astronomy, in fact, simple physics.
Let r=distance of sun to mars, in metres

<span>Mars had an orbital period of 1.88 years.
=>
tangential velocity, v, of the planet, in m/s is
v=\frac{2\pi{r}}{T}
</span>=\frac{2\pi{r}}{1.88*365.25*86400} m/s, accounting for leap years
=3.371*10^{-8}\pi{r}   m/s

The centripetal force, Fc, generated is
Fc=\frac{mv^2}{r}   
        where m=mass of mars = 6.39*10^(24) kg
=\frac{mv^2}{r}
=\frac{6.39*10^{24}v^2}{r}
=7.26168*10^9\pi^2r

The gravitation pull from the sun, Fg, is given by
Fg=\frac{GMm}{r^2}
    where G=grav. const., =6.67408*10^(-11) m^3<span> kg^(</span>-1)<span> s^(</span>-2)
              M=mass of sun=1.989*10^(30) kg
=\frac{6.67408*10^{-11}1.989*10^{30}6.39*10^{24}}{r^2}
=\frac{8.4826*10^44}{r^2}

Since the radial distance is in equilibrium, the average distance, r can be found by equation Fc=Fg and solving for r:
Fc=Fg
=>
7.26168*10^9\pi^2r=\frac{8.4826*10^44}{r^2}
Solving for the real root:
r^3=\frac{8.48256*10^44}{7.26168*10^9*%pi^2}
=\frac{1.1681263*10^{35}}{\pi^2}
=2.279*10^11 m

List at least four factors that
lord [1]

Answer:

Differences in temperature or precipitation determine the types of plants that grow in a given area (Figure 1). Generally speaking, height, density, and species diversity decreases from warm, wet climates to cool, dry climates. Raunkiaer (1934) classified plant life forms based on traits that varied with climate.
