I would say immigration only.
emigration would theoretically reduce the genetic variation as unique individuals leave, but immigration would bring unique traits into circulation in an ecosystem.
I'm not super great at biogy tho so this might not be right... :)
Opponents of GMOs have been unceasing in their campaign to vilify genetically modified foods by describing them as “Frankenfoods,” thus implying they are not natural and are potentially harmful.
“The practice of introducing new DNA and chemicals to seeds or animals (Aqua Advantage has developed a GMO fish) is similar to how Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein created his monster–—through piecing together lots of different organisms,” wrote the Organic Authority on its website—a common allusion in the anti-GMO world. “We all know what happened when the monster turned on Frankenstein, and many critics of genetic engineering have likened the inevitable backlash of GMO technology to the destruction and murderous rampage of Frankenstein’s monster.”
Many anti-GMO articles that warn of the dangers GM crops are often accompanied by an image of a tomato fruit or vegetable with syringes sticking out of them. Very often it is a fruit or vegetable for which there is no current GM equivalent such as a tomato. This depiction is used to reinforce the notion that GM foods are created in laboratories and not by nature and therefore are dangerous to consume.
With the constant barrage of scare-based imagery, it is not surprising that there is widespread public suspicion that GMOs are dangerous to human health. But there is little controversy surrounding GMOs within the scientific community with 88 percent of the members of the American Association for the Advancement of Science believing GMOs are “generally safe.” The safety of GMOs were once again reinforced by the May 2016 report by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, which concluded, there was “reasonable evidence that animals were not harmed by eating food derived from genetically engineered crops”, and epidemiological data indicated there was no increase in cancer or other health related problems associated with these crops entering our food supply.
David Zilberman, a professor of agriculture and resource economics at the University of California, Berkley, has noted that Frankenfood was “a terrible word, a stigmatization word, one that’s used to scare people… People are afraid of GMOs for little or no reason. GM is simply a tool. Because it allows us to modify plants with far greater precision and control then before, it will be very valuable.”
The reality is that the vast bulk of the foods we consume whether organic or conventionally grown have had their genetics altered in the field or in a laboratory via a process of selective breeding or advanced biotechnology techniques, and all such foods are safe to eat. The altering of genes in plants is even known to occur naturally as highlighted by the sweet potato.
Answer:
The correct answer would be zygote...blastocyst...embryo...fetus.
The fertilization of sperm and egg results in the formation of zygote. It receives genetic material from a male as well as a female parent.
It divides with the help of mitotic divisions and results in the formation of 2, 4, 8, and 16 celled stages.
It results in the formation of the hollow spherical ball of cells termed as a blastocyst. The cells are distributed to form the outer layer termed trophoblast and inner cell mass which gives rise to the embryo.
Trophoblast help in the implantation of the blastocyst into the uterine wall.
The cells of the embryo undergo organogenesis during different organs such as heart, brain, lungs et cetera are formed.
In humans, almost 9 weeks after the fertilization the developing embryo is considered a fetus.
The fetus development continues until birth.
Answer:
The mechanism is natural selection.
Explanation:
Natural selection is the mechanism that these air-breathing fishes have gone through to survive. This mechanism allows species to survive and reproduce due to differences in the phenotypes of every individual in the specie, throughout the time the heritable traits that every individual inherits changes according to the environment and the characteristics of its ancestors.
