Cotton farmers constantly battle with insects that want to eat their crops. Geneticists created transgenic cotton with leaves that repelled insects, such as caterpillars.

Which statement best describes an unintended negative consequence of creating the transgenic cotton?


The cotton plants grew at increased rates but produced fewer flowers.

The cotton produced more and larger flowers.

The cotton began dying very quickly.

The caterpillars instead ate the cotton flowers and damaged cotton production.

Answers

Answer 1

hi have a nice day,❤️

Occurrence of diversity in ecosystem sustains particular characteristic of a biological community and also ensures stability of the community. Transgenic crops may affect insect biodiversity by unintended impacts on non-target arthropod population. For example, transgenic GM cotton specific to target lepidopterous pests can change the cotton pest spectrum and may induce the growth of new harmful pest species having no pest status. The change in species composition may influence IPM approach in cotton crop. The results of authors’ research studies as well as global impact indicate that GM cotton is highly specific to target pests and has no unintended impact on non-target insect population. GM cotton provides significant season-long field control of target pests (Helicoverpa armigera, Earias spp. and Pectinophora gossypiella), with no significant control of Spodoptera species. The decreased insecticide use in GM cotton has a positive impact on beneficial insect populations and can increase the stability of rare species.

Answer 2

Answer:

The caterpillars instead ate the cotton flowers and damaged cotton production.

Explanation:

Bt cotton was developed for cold temperate countries like the US where pests are limited - chiefly the bollworm, against which the Bt toxin works and pest load in fields is not high.

But the problem is with the warmer climates like India, where bollworms flourish. Over time, because of the sheer amount of bollworms in warmer climates like India or Southern United States, these bollworms grown an immunity to the Bt toxin and we are back to square one.

Tell whether each graph is a function and justify your answer. Which graph is not a good representation of a​ real-world situation? Explain.

Answers

Using the function concept, it is found that:

Graph B is a function because each value of x corresponds to exactly one y-value.

In a function, one value of the input can be related to only one value of the output.

In a graph, it means that for each value of x(horizontal axis), there can be only one respective value of y(vertical axis).

In this problem, at Graph A, when x = 5, for example a vertical line crosses the function 3 times, hence there are 3 respective values of y for x = 5, and the same is valid for other values of x, hence it is not a function.

At Graph B, for each value of x, there is only one value of y, hence it is a function.

Hence:

Graph B is a function because each value of x corresponds to exactly one y-value.

part A :A rocket scientist needs to find the overall thrust of a new rocket design. The rocket has two stages: Stage A and Stage B. Stage A’s thrust is defined by the expression 11.2x + 6.4 and Stage B’s thrust is defined by the expression 7.4x − 2.9.

Part b: An engineer accidentally reads the blueprints incorrectly and installs the Stage B thrusters upside-down. What is the combined thrust of the rocket if Stage A is firing normally, but Stage B is applying reverse (negative) thrust?

The diagram shows a map of three land masses, numbered region 1, region 2, and region 3, connected via bridges over water. Each bridge can be traversed in either direction. (diagram is attached)

Show that there are 10 walking routes that start and end in region 2, crossing over water exactly twice. Assume each bridge, when crossed, is fully traversed to the next land mass.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

If you look closely, every route connected to region 2 could go to either region 1 or 3, which each could go back to region 2 in 3 different formats. For example the top bridge of region 2, could go through region 1, then region 3 then to the middle bridge of region 2. This can happen for all three of the other route when going backs and works for all bridges in region 2.

angelo's mother put $50 on a lunch card he spends the same amount each day for lunch. what is the constant rate of change for this function. choose two ordered pairs and write a ratio that can be used to find the slope or constant rate of change.

Answers

Given that Angelo spends the same amount everyday from the amount in

the lunch card, the function of the amount remaining is a linear function.

The constant rate of change of the function is; -5.25The two ordered pair used to find the constant rate of change are; (1, 44.75) and (2, 39.5)

Reasons:

The amount Angelo's mother put on the lunch card = $50

A possible table of values to the question is presented as follows;

[tex]\begin{tabular}{r|c|c|c|c|}Days&0&1&2&3\\Money Remaining&&44.75&39.5&\end{array}\right][/tex]

Required:

The constant rate of the function that gives the amount remaining from the

amount Angelo's mother put on his lunch card.

Solution:

[tex]Slope \ or \ constant \ rate \ of \ change = \mathbf{\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}}[/tex]

The two ordered pair that can be used to find the slope or constant rate of change are;

(x₁, y₁) = (1, 44.75), and (x₂, y₂) = (2, 39.5)

With the above two ordered pairs, we have the constant rate of change of the function given as follows;

Answers

Answer:

  a) g(0) = -4

  b) x = -2 or +2 for g(x) = 0

  c) domain: all real numbers; range: y ≥ -4

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

g(0) is the value of the function when x=0. That is where the function crosses the y-axis. g(0) = -4.

__

b)

g(x) = 0 where the graph crosses the x-axis. The x-values there are ...

  x = -2 and x = 2

__

c)

The domain is the horizontal extent of the graph. Here, we assume the graph extends to infinity both in the upward direction and to the left and right. Thus the horizontal extent (domain) is from -∞ to +∞, or "all real numbers."

The point where the graph crosses the y-axis is a minimum. There are no y-values below that point. So, the vertical extent (range) of the graph is from y=-4 to +∞.
