A) RNA.
B) antibodies.
C) chromosomes.
D) plasma.
Your gender, whether you are male or female, is determined by the
A) X or Y chromosomes, inherited from father.
B) X or Y chromosomes, inherited from your mother.

Selective breeding is the process of breeding plants or animals so that they inherit particular traits from their parents. What is a possible consequence of selectively breeding a crop species?
A) The crop becomes more tolerant to drought.
B) The quality and yield of the crop improves.
C) The crop becomes resistant to bacteria and fungi.
D) The offspring have the same traits as the parents.
48)
All organisms begin life as a ____________ cell.
A) embryonic
B) haploid
C) larval
D) single

For over a decade, farmers in the U.S. have been planting genetically modified crops. An example of one of these crops is corn that is resistant to weed-killer. This makes it so that no corn is lost due to contact with herbicide meant to kill weeds.
While this is seen by many as a positive development, others see it as a cause for concern. What is one possible negative side effect of planting genetically modified corn?
A) Genetically modified corn, as well as other plants, is unnatural.
B) Corn will replace wheat and other crops as our main source of carbohydrates.
C) Plants with modified genomes may have a predictable impact on the environment.
D) Plants with modified genomes may have an unforeseen impact on the environment.

It’s been 4 years, did they ever find an answer?
@PsyDAG weird name but you are correct but when, did i ask
sorry i'm jk but if you were'nt gonna answer the questions or at least a question why even bother type anything.
(not trying to be mean/rude)
The answers to the questions are as follows:
1) C) Chromosomes. The information that determines inherited traits is encoded in the DNA found in chromosomes.
2) A) X or Y chromosomes, inherited from father. In humans, gender is determined by the presence of X and Y chromosomes, with males having one X and one Y chromosome.
3) B) The quality and yield of the crop improves. Selective breeding can lead to the improvement of specific traits in a crop, such as increased yield or better quality.
4) A) Embryonic. All organisms begin life as a single embryonic cell, which undergoes cell division to develop into a multicellular organism.
5) D) Plants with modified genomes may have an unforeseen impact on the environment. Genetically modified crops can have unintended consequences on the environment, such as the potential for unintended gene flow to wild relatives or the development of herbicide-resistant weeds.
We do not do your homework for you. Although it might take more effort to do the work on your own, you will profit more from your effort. We will be happy to evaluate your work though.
