<span>A. If one essential nutrient within an ecosystem runs out, primary productivity will be limited.
A specific nutrient is need for every organism in the ecosystem. If this particular nutrient is diminished within the ecosystem then cellular processes will decreases and a great number of specie will die. </span>
When humans farm large plantation of one cash crop, they reduce the biodiversity of the region because they reduce the genetic diversity of the species in the environment. A reduction in genetic diversity means that the genetic variability of the species is reduced hence there are fewer sub-species in the environment. This ultimately reduces the biodiversity of the ecosystem - which is the variability among all the living organisms in the environment.

Recombinant DNA is DNA that has been created using intelligent design methods to modify a base DNA molecule using DNA component elements from other strands of DNA of other organisms. There are a wide range of possible DNA elements that can be removed, added to or otherwise modified to produce the new recombinant form.
Recombinant DNA technology clearly is genetic engineering using intelligent design as the selection and placement of the added DNA components must be planned and precisely selected and placed to accomplish the intended result. It does not happen naturalistically.
There are numerous aspects of the growing technology of recombinant DNA that modify DNA to serve the purpose of the intelligent designers, including wide ranges of research, medicine, synthetic biology, potential commercial products and even scientific curiosity.
