Likely, B is the expected answer.

_____
As one who has suffered health problems for more than 40 years due to the desire of certain chemical industries to make money by polluting my food, I can barely remain civil when discussing genetic modification. Plants with built-in pesticides are bad news on so many levels it would take a library of books to discuss them all. What, after all, is the benefit of efficiently producing poison?

Answer: B: it is more efficient and economical to grow this variety

Explanation:

The genetic engineering is the process of manipulation of the genome of the organism in order to remove diseases and disorders, introduction of traits which can improve the quality of the organism.

According to the given situation, if the corn species is genetically modified such that it can possess it's own pesticide. This will reduce the cost of using pesticides in the field also the crops will remain disease free, healthy and useful for consumption. Therefore, B: it is more efficient and economical to grow this variety is the correct option.

Traits controlled by organellar dna do not show mendelian inheritance because
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

In mendelian inheritance, the alleles for a gene show normal dominant-recessive relationship. Chromosomes also show crossover due to which new random combination of traits is possible in the offspring. This crossover takes place between homologous chromosomes during meiosis I.

Organellar DNA like the ones present in mitochondria and chloroplast do not follow mendelian inheritance because unlike nuclear chromosomes they do not have cross over events. There is no orderly segregation of alleles during meiosis. Traits controlled by them are usually inherited as it is and usually it is from the maternal parent because paternal gamete like sperm does not contain mitochondria.

To test the hypothesis that mussels are osmoconformers, researchers exposed mussels to water of varying osmolarities and then dr
inn [45]

The question is incomplete, I included an attachment that completes the question as well as show the options to be chosen from.

Answer: YES, SUPPORTED

Explanation: When we talk of Osmoconformers, we are talking of the organisms that live in the marine habitat.

These Osmoconformers have the tendency of maintaining their internal fluid isotonic that is isotonic to their external environment in church they live. They have an osmotic pressure that is equal to the osmotic pressure of their surrounding environment.

In the table provided in the attachment section,it clearly stated as we can see the increase in osmolarity of water,the haemolymph osmolarity increase in order to maintain isotonic realtion so that,there will be no much exosmosis (osmosis).

<span>The chemical elements</span><span> can be broadly divided into </span>metals<span>, </span>metalloids<span> and </span>nonmetals<span> according to their shared </span>physical<span> and </span>chemical properties<span>.

Typical nonmetals have a dull, coloured or colourless appearance; are </span>brittle<span> when solid; are poor conductors of heat and electricity; and have acidic oxides. Most or some elements in each category share a range of other properties; a few elements have properties that are either anomalous given their category, or otherwise extraordinary.</span>
