What else can I help you with?
Which of the following crosses would produce the highest corn yield with the highest resistance to drought?
Crossing two corn varieties that are known for high yield and drought resistance would likely produce a high-yielding and drought-resistant offspring. Look for varieties with proven track records in both traits to maximize the chances of success. Conducting field trials to assess performance under drought conditions can also help determine the most suitable crosses.
Small rounded thick-walled resting cell?
I believe that you are referring to a bacterial endospore. Only a small number of bacteria can produce these (Gram-positive Firmicutes). Endospores are very tough and allow the bacteria that can produce them to survive high temperatures, pressures, drought, etc.
Has a water resistant covering and gametophyte parts that can produce sperm?
Pollen grainÊ has a water resistant covering and contains a male gametophyte part that can produce sperm. Sperms are carried as part of the pollen grain by gravity.
Why are bricks used near fireplaces?
They are resistant to the intense heat that fires can produce
Can I buy Slip resistant tile?
Yes, many companies produce slip-resistant tiles for both residential and commercial use that are compliant with the ADA.
What has a water-resistant covering and gametophyte parts that can produce sperm?
A moss sporophyte has a water-resistant covering and gametophyte parts that can produce sperm. The sporophyte is the dominant stage in the moss life cycle and is responsible for producing spores through meiosis. The spores develop into new gametophytes that can produce both sperm and eggs.
Why might experiments to produce new breeds of plants help the country?
New breeds of plants may grow faster, be more nutritious and/or more resistant to pests/pesticides/drought. These are just some possible factors that could help a country to create food in greater quantities, at a lower cost and with the use of less chemicals.
What is farmers most likely to produce in the drier great plains states to the west?
Farmers in the drier Great Plains states are most likely to produce drought-resistant crops such as sorghum and millet, as well as hardy grains like wheat. Additionally, they may focus on raising livestock, particularly cattle, due to the region's expansive grasslands suitable for grazing. Agricultural practices often emphasize water conservation and sustainable methods to cope with the limited rainfall.
What does the honeybee produce?
I believe honey is the answer you are looking for.
How did dry farming help farmers?
Dry farming helped farmers by enabling them to grow crops in regions with limited water supply. By using water conservation techniques and planting drought-resistant crops, farmers could reduce the need for irrigation and still produce a harvest. This method allowed farmers to cultivate land that would otherwise be unsuitable for farming due to water scarcity.
What is a term describing the manipulation of DNA in cells to produce disease-resistant crops and animals for agriculture?
Genetic engineering is the term describing the manipulation of DNA in cells to produce disease-resistant crops and animals for agriculture. This involves altering the genetic makeup of organisms to introduce specific desirable traits.
What is a GMO and why do we use them?
A GMO is a genetically modified organism. Reasons for using them depends on who is asked. Some say they are necessary to improve foods. An example is Golden Rice that is genetically modified to produce Vitamin A. Others say they are not necessary and may be dangerous. Examples of these are herbicide resistant and Bt varieties. Herbicide resistant are plants that are engineered to resist a herbicide so it can be sprayed directly on the crop. Bt varieties are engineered to produce an insecticide in the plant itself. Corn and soybeans are examples of crops that have been modified to be resistant to herbicides and/or to produce an insecticide.
