A nine-year research and experimentations have successfully developed rice plants with golden hue kernels instead of the usual white kernels. What is the advantage of this modified rice plant?
Select one:
To make the plant become resistant to herbivores.
To provide sufficient rice produce due to its shorter cycle.
To add nutritional value to the rice kernels.
To allow easy harvesting and processing.
Some genetically modified plant varieties incorporate a “self-destruct gene”, which causes anyseed produced by the plants to be unable to germinate.a) What are some ecological advantages to these “self-destruct genes”? Explain youranswer.b) Identify another reason why the enterprises that developed these varieties might haveincorporated such genes
You have been chosen as the lead student gardener for the CSUMB Future Farmers of America Club (FFAC). Your club is looking to you and your Bio211 plant experience to guide them. You arrive at the new FFAC garden plots where your club mates show you their cherry tree that they've been having trouble with. Originally, its leave would change color and fall off the tree, as expected, in the autumn. However, more recently the leaves started changing color and falling off in the spring time.
Which hormone does the tree likely have in excess and why?

How does this gene modification affect the consumer and the diet of individuals in developing countries? options: Delaying the ripening process means that the tomatoes have a longer shelf life. The tomatoes survive delivery to the consumer and provide nutritional value to more people. Delaying the ripening process means that the tomatoes can stay on the vine longer to receive nutrients. Once picked, these tomatoes will ripen rapidly to provide a full taste to the consumer. Delaying the ripening process means that the tomatoes are more likely to freeze on the vine before becoming ripe. This freezing process locks in the minerals and beneficial nutrients so that the tomato can be transported without losing its nutritional benefit. Delaying the ripening process means that the tomatoes are more likely to have a shorter shelf…arrow_forward

Each plant were placed in separate rooms with a window exposed to full sunlight and were watered with equal amounts every day. They measured the height of the plants. Once a day, they played classical music on room 1 for about one hour while leaving room 2 with no music played. Over a period of two weeks, they noted significant differences in each plant's growth.

- Rice is a staple food in Asia. In the 1950s, Asia faced food shortages and an impending famine. If you have relatives that lived in Asia during the ’50s and ’60s, they may tell you that due to the rice shortage, many starved and those who were lucky had to supplement their diet with other crops, such as barley. In 1962, an organization focused on research and development of rice called the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) developed a high-yielding variety of rice by crossing the two types of rice from Indonesia and China. The result was groundbreaking. The new variety called IR8 (India Rice 8) increased its yield as much as 10 times the traditional variety of rice. By the early 1970s, many rice farmers in India, the Philippines, and Vietnam switched to cultivating IR8 rice, making these countries into major rice exporters, preventing a mass famine in Asia, and saving millions of lives. In many major Canadian cities, a GMO-free, organic diet is becoming more popular, as can…arrow_forwardExplain why you support or oppose greatly increasing the use of (a) genetically modified food production and (b) organic perennial polyculture.arrow_forwardWhy do pasture grasses continue growing despite being grazed upon by animals and why do lawn grasses continue growing despite being trimmed regularly? *arrow_forward
