What does GM mean in science?
GM in science stands for genetic modification.
What is the role of biotechnology in plant breeding?
Biotechnology plays a crucial role in plant breeding by enabling the development of genetically modified (GM) crops with desirable traits such as resistance to pests, diseases, and environmental stresses. Techniques like genetic engineering and gene editing allow for targeted modification of plant genomes to enhance productivity, nutritional value, and sustainability in agriculture. Biotechnology also accelerates the breeding process by providing tools for precise trait introgression and selection in plants.
Which organ of human body has the highest blood supply?
By weight probably the brain, but the liver, kidneys and heart are close seconds. Per 100 gm of tissue: Carotid Bodies: 2000 ml/min/100 gm tissue Kidneys: 360 ml/min/100 gm tissue Adrenal glands: 300 ml/min/100 gm tissue Liver: 95 ml/min/100 gm tissue Heart: 70 ml/min/100 gm tissue Brain: 50 ml/min/100 gm tissue
How are GM foods harmful to the environment?
GMO crops can harm the environment by promoting pesticide resistance in pests, leading to increased chemical use. Insects can also develop resistance to the toxins produced by GMO crops, affecting non-target species and disrupting the ecosystem. There are concerns about the impact of GMO crops on biodiversity and native plant species.
How is rice genetically modified?
Rice can be genetically modified by introducing foreign genes into its DNA to achieve desired traits, such as pest resistance, herbicide tolerance, or higher nutritional content. This process involves using biotechnology tools to modify the rice plant's genetic makeup in a precise and controlled manner. The genetically modified rice plants can then express the desired traits, providing potential benefits such as increased productivity or reduced environmental impact.
Is genetically modified food the answer for Canada?
Not at all is my answer! GM foods are very bad for nature, the DNA of the plant is modified to be able to survive in a particular environment, then pollination takes place and the pollen of the GM plant sits on a non GM plant and makes a another plant of the non GM type but now it will have characteristics of the GM plant. Which means if you have a GM field of crop and you have a plant pest next to the field; the pest plant will be resistant to biocides and will destroy the crop.
Why are GM plant codes called cisco codes?
GM plant codes are often referred to as "Cisco codes" due to a historical connection with the company Cisco Systems, which provided the networking infrastructure for GM's plant operations. The term has become synonymous with the codes used to identify different manufacturing plants and their specific operations within GM. This nomenclature reflects the integration of technology and manufacturing processes in the automotive industry.
What year did Oldsmobile close?
GM stopped producing Oldsmobile in 2004.
Is it true that GM will stop producing their famous Hummer cars?
Yes.
What vehicles were produced at the gm leeds plant?
Leeds was a B-O-P assembly plant for most of it's life as a GM plant. Leeds made A and G bodies until 1980 (downsized models). The J car was produced from 1981 until it's closure in August 1988. It's sister plants were Southgate, CA and Janesville, WI. Southgate closed after only one year of production while Janesville continued making cars/SUVs until it closed last year when it lost it's bid to continue producing SUVs to Arlington Assembly.
How are GM crops different from natural crops?
They are genetically modified through the insertion of genes which the plant would not ordinarily be able to mutate on its own.
Where Subaru legacy manufactured?
Indiana at the gm plant
Why genetically modified GM plants are thought to pose a greater environmental threat then GM animals?
Genetically modified (GM) plants are often considered to pose a greater environmental threat than GM animals due to their potential for widespread and uncontrolled gene flow into wild plant populations, which can lead to unintended ecological consequences. This gene transfer may result in the emergence of "superweeds" resistant to herbicides, disrupting local ecosystems and reducing biodiversity. Additionally, the cultivation of GM plants can lead to monocultures, which diminish habitat diversity and increase vulnerability to pests and diseases. In contrast, GM animals typically have a more contained impact, as they are usually raised in controlled environments and are less likely to interbreed with wild populations.
When did the Janesville General Motors plant close?
The Janesville General Motors plant officially closed on December 23, 2008. The closure was part of a broader restructuring by GM during a period of financial difficulties and declining sales. The plant had been operational since 1919 and was known for producing various vehicle models over the decades.
My 1990 gm 305 has the same internal parts as my 5.7 gm .is this right?
Different pistons. Cam might be different. Valve sizes are different.
Is anyone other than GM producing replacement airshocks for a 2002 Tahoe 4x4 with Autoride?
