3. As a geneticist who is working on a solution for the corn borer problem, you need to review concepts in genetics
including how genes are inherited, selective breeding, the
development of resistance to a pesticide within a
population, and genetic engineering.
Explain the role of DNA and chromosomes in passing
traits from parents to offspring. Why is this concept
important to completing this project?
Include in your answer an overview of the replication,
transcription, and translation processes and discuss how
they are related to each other. Explain how the pest
control in corn crops affects these processes leading to
mutations and genetic variation.
