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.

Write the equation of the line that has slope 1 half and passes through (4, -1).

Answers

Answer:

-1 = 1/2*4 + -3 / -1 = 1/2*4 - 3 for slope intercept equations

y + 1 = 1/2(x - 4) for point slope equations

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept formula is y = mx  + b where y is the y point, x is the x point on the graph, m is the slope and b is y intercept. For this we know the slope, the x and the y axis. Now all we need to find is the y intercept, for this we would have have to multiply the x axis by the slope and then find the number to complete the equation in this case its 1/2 (slope) and 4 (x axis),

-1 = 2 + b

for this we'd subtract -2 to both sides

-1 -2 = +2 - 2 + b

Which then we'd get,

-3 = b

So our Y intercept is -3

To complete the equation we'd finish it with putting everything together,

-1 = 1/2*4 + -3 or -1 =1/2*4 -3

If it were a point slope equation (y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)) we have the y₁, x₁ and the slope value 1/2, so we have all we need to fill in the point slope equation and here it is,

y + 1 = 1/2(x - 4)

2: A number is greater than 17.2
3: A number is at most 17.2

Answers

Answer:

2:A number is greater than 17.2

Step-by-step explanation:

the ">" in the inequality represents is greater

so the m> means m is greater than... and then the 17.2 means m is greater than 17.2. The way I learnt it was to imagine the ">" sign is like a crocodile, it wants the bigger number. So the ">" being towards the "m" shows that m is the bigger number.

Solve the compound inequality and graph the solutions.
-10<2x – 10 <30
The solutions to the compound inequality are

Answers

Answer:

0 ≤  x ≤ 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

-10≤2x – 10 ≤30

2x - 10 ≤ 30

2x ≤  40

x ≤ 20.

2x - 10  ≥ -10

2x ≥  0

x ≥ 0.

For compund inequalities you will have to separate both sides of the inequality into different equations so you can later plug it in.

For Example:

-10 ≤2x-10 Would be 0 ≤x

Add 10 on both sides, end up with 0≤2x then divide by 2 on both sides and end up with 0≤x

2x-10 ≤30 Would be x ≤20

Add 10 on both sides end up with 2x≤40 divide by 2 on both sides and end up with x≤20

So the answer would be 0 ≤ x ≤  20

4. Jeremy is starting a juice-bar business. The cost to start the business is $32,000 and the
monthly costs are $4,000. He has been earning $5,600 every month in revenue. In how many
months will Jeremy's business break-even and earn a profit?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: Ok so the important thing is to figure out how much he makes each month. if he earns 5,600 but the cost are 4,000 he makes 1,600 every month. To figure out how many months it will take we divide 32,000 by 1,600 to get 20. that is when he breaks even, 20 months. To make a profit it will be 21 months.

C. [tex]a_n=(9)(\frac{2}{3})^{n-1}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Iterative geometric sequence:

Recursive geometric sequence:

[tex]a_n=xa_{n-1}[/tex]

The equations are very similar and you only really need to rearrange it. The factor (2/3) and the first term (9) are given, so you can write the iterative equation:

(2x + 23), (8x + 2) and (20x – 52) are three consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence.
Prove that the common difference of the sequence is 12

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given (2x + 23), (8x + 2) and (20x - 52) are three consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence.

(8x + 2) - (2x + 23) = (20x - 52) - (8x + 2)

or, 6x - 21 = 12x - 54

or, 12x - 6x = - 21 + 54 = 33

or, 6x = 33

or, 2x = 11

∴ x = 11/2

∴2x + 23 = 2 × 11/2 + 23 = 34

8x + 2 = 8 × 11/2 + 2 = 46 and

20x - 52 = 20 × 11/2 - 52 = 110 - 52 = 58

34, 46 and 58 are three consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence.

∴ Common difference(d) = 46 - 34 = 58 - 46 = 12, it is proved.

Hence, the common difference of the sequence is 12.

Round 383.52 to the nearest tenth.

Answers

It should be 383.5 if you’re rounding the decimal to the nearest tenth
To round to he nearest whole tenth it would be 380

Answer:

383.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to round 383.52 to the nearest tenth.

The tenth would be the 5.

To round we look at the number after the one we want to round ( so 2 )

If the number is greater than 4 so ( 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 ) then we raise the number that we want to round but if its less than 5 ( 4, 3, 2, 1 , 0 ) we keep the number as it is.

2 is less than 5 so we keep 5 as it is to get 383.5

C - A = 10

Can you prove that 4+2=5+1 is true without solving both sides of equation?

Answers

Answer:

Here you go...

Step-by-step explanation:

You have 4, and you have 5.

You have 4+2 and you have 5+1

So, you take a 1 from the 2 in the first problem, which gives u 4+1 that equals 5.

Therefore, if u put the first equation in a simpler form then you get 5+1 with the other equation. So it would look like 5+1=5+1.

FURTHERMORE, 4+2= 5+1 (because you simplify 2 into a 1).

So. 5+1 equals 5+1. (which is common sense... 5+1= 6.)
