In what phase of meiosis are tetrads separated as homologous chromosomes are pulled to opposite poles of the cell? cientists have developed genetically engineered plants that are pest-resistant. by adding genes to the plant’s dna, they become toxic to insects (but not to plants or animals). this means that these plants may not need to be sprayed with pesticides to ward off the insects. would you be willing to eat these genetically altered crops? explain your answer.

1. Tetrads are seperated as homologous chromosomes and pulled to opposite poles of the cell in Anaphase 1.

2.If I'm hungry, sure, but that doesn't mean i'm pro-GMO. GMO i s a solution looking for a problem.

There is no shortage of food on the planet.

GMO is hightech, and creates monopolies.

Commercial GMO isn't used to *reduce* pesticide-use, but to be able to *increase* the use of "roundup" (glyphosate)

GMO is expensive, which means the companies producing it will want it used on an extremely large scale to make it affordable. This can reduce biodiversity because there aren't enough acres left for all other varieties of the crop.

wild parsnip is a perennial plant which reproduces rapidly in areas which have no sign of agricultural activity such roadside or at no tillage open areas. it's considered invasive because it can inhibit the growth of another plant  and its reproduction is fast. there are several harmful effects of this invasive plant although its taproot is edible since it is a member of the carrot family. wild parsnips can cause skin blistering when in contact because of the chemicals it contains, second it inhibits the growth of other plants, it will restrict the growth of animals when eaten and lastly, it drives away natural pollinators like bees.
