All living organisms begin the breakdown of their food by?

answer: a) a compound microscope has a greater magnification ability than a simple microscope.

explanation:

if you listed your answers right then i believe your answer is b.

some choices are:

peanut butter

seeds

eggs

yogurt

meats

fish

so pretty much meat, dairy, nuts, and grains.

the last one: artificial selection/genetic engineering

plant breeding is modifying the genetic composition of the plant - but this isn't cloning (which is specifically introducing a gene into a genome). but you are artificially selecting for the phenotype that you want.

the second one is literally genetic engineering - the gene would have been cloned first and then inserted or genetically engineered into the new plant cell (the cotton).
