Recent agricultural efforts have focused on combining the power of genetic modification and plant breeding in the development of new crops.
a. Why is EACH an important tool for crop development?
b. Why are BOTH necessary?
Homework Answers
- A) Genetic modification is important for crop development because it gives high yield and production of crops, high nutritional value for example golden rice and decrease various stress to the plant. On the same hand, plant breeding provides disease resistance, tolerance to drought and higher yielding to the plant species.
B) When combining both genetic modification and plant breeding we can produce high yield nutritional rich better plant varieties. Also, environmentally adapted local crops can develop by these methods which will reduce food shortage for world population.

Humans have engaged in genetic manipulation for millennia, producing plant and animal varieties through selective breeding and hybridization that significantly modify genomes of organisms. Why do you think modern genetic engineering, which often entails introducing or modifying only one or a few genes, has met with so much opposition? Should some forms of genetic engineering be of greater concern than others? Explain. In your response provide a specific example from literature to support your stance.

A natural gas-fired furnace in a Textile Plant is used to provide steam at 140 0C. At times of high demand, the furnace supplied heat to the steam at rate of 30 MJ/s. The plant also uses up to 6 MW of electrical power purchased from the local power company. The plant management is considering converting the existing process plant into a Cogeneration Plant to meet both their process-heat and power requirements. Your job is to come up with some...

Coal is carried from a mine in West Virginia to a power plant in New York in hopper cars on a long train. The automatic hopper car loader is set to put 89 tons of coal into each car. The actual weights of coal loaded into each car are normally distributed, with mean μ = 89 tons and standard deviation σ = 0.6 ton. (a) What is the probability that one car chosen at random will have less than 88.5...
