[#paragraph3]On the negative side, opponents of transgenic crops suggest that there are many questions that need to be answered before transgenic crops are grown on a large scale. One question deals with the effects that Bt plants have on nontarget organisms such as beneficial insects, worms,...
Discuss how and for what reasons transgenic plants are constructed. Give some examples. Why is endosperm in angiosperm ovule considered as more efficient? Why are stem cells important for tissue health? Explain the transition from primary to secondary growth in a plant stem. Why more than ...
How To Lessen Consumer Anxieties Surrounding Transgenic Crops Roundup-Ready crops are involved transgenic alteration; and, in the sustainability sector and for many consumers, this does not bring forth feelings of comfort. Roundup-Ready “terminator genes” were developed to help farmers control weeds....
What are 3 factors that enable cacti to grow in hot dry conditions? What are the three factors that enable cacti to grow in hot dry conditions? What is the significance of transpiration in plants? Why is it beneficial for plants to have two types of chlorophyll instead of just one? Explai...
beneficial and favorable trait are better adapted to the environment because their traits and characteristics have a higher chance of helping to survive in the environment. Natural selection is the process that demonstrates that all living organisms that are better suited for the environment have the ...
It protects beneficial insects like ladybugs. There are also traits that offerAbiotic Stress Tolerance(a good example is this year farmers in the western Plains will be planting some corn that is called DroughtGard which helps the plant function better in times of low water availability),Disease ...
Organic farming does not offer consistent arguments for the rejection of transgenic crops. Some arguments (from genomics to biodiversity) are discussed in order to demonstrate that the contrast between both farming systems is rated too high and that it is possible to overcome the divide. In this ...
