Read the passage: Genetically Engineered Corn. Then 1. Explain what Bt corn is and how it is made. 2. Describe the benefits of Bt corn. 3. Describe the risks of Bt corn. 4. Make an argument for or against the use of Bt corn and provide support for your position.

1. Bt maize is a genetically modified maize. It is produced through biochemical techniques and with the use of biotechnology that allows genes of Bacillus thuringiensis bacteria to be introduced in the DNA of corn. These genes allow Bt maize plants to produce a toxic protein specific to certain groups of insects.

2. With the production of this protein, Bt corn becomes immune to attack by these insects. As a result, the use of pesticides in the corn crop is reduced, which makes production healthier and avoids side effects on the soil. In addition, it prevents the production of corn from falling due to the attack of insects.

3. Among the disadvantages, we can say that Bt maize does not control all the pests that attack maize, only a few, which allows maize to be attacked. It can also trigger evolution in pest species that are immune, creating a toxin-resistant species. Finally, it can create contamination in wild maize crops (that is, those that have not been genetically modified), ending diversity.

4. I believe that the use of Bt corn is favorable. This is because it allows a greater production of food to meet our need and increasingly intense demand for food. However, it is necessary to affirm that the use of this corn needs regulation and inspection, mainly in the big industries that can harm the small producer.

d concave shape of wave rock

explanation:

the concave shape of wave rock is a very good evidence that supports the evolution of earth due to chemical weathering. if we talk about structure of   wave rock, studies have estimated that it is around 2.7 billion years old. it also serves as the foundation of evidence that it was the place where australian continent began to form.

how the structure of wave rock was created?

studies suggest that structure of wave rock was created when the surrounded area was started to weather due to which deposition of material started on the part of land which now contains wave rock.

the structure of wave rock is considered to be one of the best-known landforms in australia. at the height of around 15 cm, there can be found flared slopes which formulate the margins of hyden rock. it is now assumed by geologists that wave rock was created by subsurface water-induced weathering and not by glaciers, waves or wind.

due to deposition of material over the period of long time, the wave rock became tougher and tougher due to weathering from surrounding terrain. this makes it a physical evidence that supports   the evolution of earth due to chemical weathering.

hope it !
