Phytopharmaceuticals are pharmaceutical compounds that are found in plants. They can be naturally occurring or a result of biotechnology. Recently, scientists created genetically modified (GM) corn that produces the antibiotic penicillin. The seeds of this GM corn contain a large amount of the antibiotic penicillin, making the cost of producing the penicillin much cheaper and making the method of delivering it to patients in need much easier. Given the benefits of this GM corn, which of the following may be a concern regarding its production? A. The GM corn may develop infections from bacteria that are sensitive to the antibiotic.

B. The GM corn might pass resistant genes to other organisms, like birds, that may eat the seeds.

C. Because corn uses the wind for pollination, people allergic to penicillin may be at risk for exposure to the antibiotic in the air.

D. Increased availability of the antibiotic may increase the development of antibiotic resistance in the infectious agents penicillin is used to treat.

hope this !

the correct answer: the index of refraction of the second medium is lower i tried this persons answer and it was wrong this person is lying

the statement is true

answer: decrease

a limiting factor is the one which decrease the abundance, distribution and causes extinction of the population of species in a ecosystem. here, predators including hawks, owls and snakes are the limiting factor for the population of mexican free tailed bat.   although bats are nocturnal animals as they forge for food at night these predators also may remain active during night which can decrease the population of the mexican free-tailed bats. also, these bats eat only one type of insects that are moths. the food can also be a limiting factor as all 400 members are dependent upon same type of food needs that are moths. the decrease in the moth population can cause decrease in population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.

therefore, the scenarios will most likely to decrease the population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.
