The process of genetic modification involves inserting a gene from bacteria or a virus (or a gene that helps plants survive the application of highly toxic pesticides) into an organism where it would normally not be found. The purpose is to alter the genetic code in plants and animals to make them more productive or resistant to pests or farming techniques, like being
doused with chemicals that would ordinarily kill them
What are three arguments against using genetically modified plants within the agricultural community?

Aluminum reacts with chlorine gas to form aluminum chloride via the following reaction: 2al(s)+3cl2(g)→2alcl3(s) what is the maximum mass of aluminum chloride that can be formed when reacting 32.0 g of aluminum with 37.0 g of chlorine? express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

In a sample of oxygen gas at room temperature, the average kinetic energy of all the balls stays constant. which postulate of kinetic molecular theory best explains how this is possible? a. attractive forces between gas particles are negligible because the particles of an ideal gas are moving so quickly. b. collisions between gas particles are elastic; there is no net gain or loss of kinetic energy. c. gases consist of a large number of small particles, with a lot of space between the particles. d. gas particles are in constant, random motion, and higher kinetic energy means faster movement.

Explain why scientists use shared characteristics to make cladograms.
