Please help with the following: Prior to approximately 12 KYA, humans were hunter-gatherers and relied on wild plants and animals for subsistence. This means that their conscious manipulation of the genomes and gene pools of other organisms was essentially non-existent. 12KYA signaled the beginning of plant

Select all that are true 1- traditional' (as nicknamed from the last 70-8- years) and organic farming are the same. 2- GOMs may involve including a gene from a completely unrelated organism, such as agene from a jelly fish into amonkey. 3- Traditional'( as nicknamed from the last 70-80 years) and GOM farming generally include the use of pesticides and herbicides 4-Organic food may not include genetics modifications, pesticides, or herbicides.
a. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using subjective and objective indices of maturity determination? c. Insects, weeds, and pathogens have evolved resistance to chemicals and insects to transgenic Bt crop traits. Describe two specific pest control strategies other than chemical control and the transgenic Bt crops that a farmer who grows grain crops such as corn and rice could employ to control insects, weeds and diseases. Explain how and why IPM, IWM or "many little hammers" can reduce the risk of the pests evolving resistance.

Please help with the following: Lactase persistence is an adaptation to milk drinking that has developed since the beginning of agriculture ~10 KYA. What is the relationship between the alleles driving this ability in European, Indian and African populations? A. One allele is responsible for lactase persistence in Europeans and Indians because of where agriculture originated and was introduced through migration. routes. B. The allele responsible for lactase persistence in all three populations is the same allele on the LCT gene. C. Different alleles are responsible for lactase persistence in each population. D. One allele is responsible for lactase persistence in Europeans, but other alleles cause the trait in Indian and African populations. E. One allele is responsible for lactase persistence in Africans, but other alleles cause the trait in European and Indian populations.

You have been put in charge of developing a breed of domesticated dog that lives to be 40 years old on average. You will need to brainstorm for several minutes on how you could extend the life of dogs. You should refer to the example of the fruit flies from lecture.As part of this project, the breeders will need to put together an informational brochure to hand out to veterinarians and prospective owners of the dogs, which discusses: first, how dogs' age will be extended, then, some of the potential consequences of having a pet that lives for such a long time. The brochure will need to inform prospective owners that these dogs may live 40 or more years. It should point out that someone who is 30+ years old may have to plan on care for the pet if it were to outlive him or her. Also, there will be more lifetime costs associated with these dogs simply because they live so long. These dogs may be prone to diseases that are not seen in dogs with shorter life spans. Finally, there may be…
