GMO stands for Genetically Modified Organisms. This means they undergo a certain forced process where they are introduced to bacteria and viruses to receive different traits to resist diseases or the tolerance of pesticides. GMO crops have been in the news for a very long time and it’s safe to say there are some pretty heated arguments about the topic. These foods that have been introduced to GMO have been tested with the World Health Organization and humans are safe to consume them. All living

When talking to Brian and Steve about the adequacy of this program for controlling weeds in chicory they were reasonably happy with the results. This is because the application of Preside eliminated a wide spectrum of broadleaf weeds and the cultivation and application of glyphosate managed to eliminate large proportions of the grasses and other problematic perennial weeds. My evaluation of the control program was similar in terms of Preside doing a quality job at eliminating a wide spectrum of

Genetic drift and natural selection both play important roles in shaping the genetic makeup of a population in nature. Although this is true‚ they have different modes of doing so. Genetic drift‚ unlike natural selection‚ is a completely random process. While natural selection tends to improve the fitness of generations to come in the context of a certain environment‚ the chance events of genetic drift do not necessarily lead to forming positive environmental adaptions. In addition‚ the effects of
