Scientists have developed a variety of genetically modified (GM) crop plants. They may develop many new varieties in the future. Evidence

MOST STRONGLY supports which of these predictions about genetic technology and the world's food supply?

A

Genetic technology will have no measurable effect on the food supply

B. Genetic technology will increase the cost of many foods and harm their quality

C. Genetic technology will improve the quality of many foods, but also increase their cost.

D. Genetic technology has the potential to reduce the cost of many foods and improve their quality

Explanation:

1. A genetically modified (GM) or transgenic crop is a plant that has a combination of genetic material of two or more than two organisms, and it is obtained by the use of modern biotechnology.

2.  Example: a genetically modified crop can contain a gene or genes of other organisms that has been artificially inserted instead of the plant acquiring it through pollination.

3.  Genetic technology has the potential to reduce the cost of many foods and  it can improve their quality as well as quantity.

the two answers are a, the population of birds with large beaks will increase on the island, and c, the trait for large beaks will be passed on to future generations through natural selection. the reason for that is because if the birds that have beaks developed for eating small seeds lose all of their food, they will go hungry and eventually starve because they physically cannot eat the large seeds, therefore making the population of large beaked birds higher. also, if the trait of large beaks are dominant on the island over small beaks, then over time the large beaked birds will reproduce more and more, while the smaller beaked birds will reproduce less and less because they can't survive with the food provided. that leads to the trait of small beaks disappearing and the trait of large beaks taking over the island.
