GMOs can lead to increased crop yield, reduced pesticide use, and enhanced nutritional content.

Genetically modified crops are developed to enhance yield, resistance to pests, and tolerance to environmental stresses.

Bioremediation uses microorganisms to degrade environmental contaminants, making it a key application in environmental management.

Gene therapy is a direct application of biotechnology in medicine, aimed at treating genetic disorders.

Bioremediation uses microorganisms to degrade environmental contaminants, making it a method for waste management.

Fermentation is a biotechnological method used to produce vaccines by cultivating microorganisms.

Plants are biotic components of an ecosystem, while soil, water, and air are abiotic components.

Biotic factors are the living components of an ecosystem, which include plants, animals, and microorganisms.

The ability to reproduce is a characteristic feature of all living organisms.

Echinoderms, such as starfish and sea urchins, are characterized by a water vascular system, which aids in movement and feeding.

Epithelial tissue is characterized by closely packed cells with minimal intercellular space, forming a protective layer.

Fungi have chitin in their cell walls, distinguishing them from plants.

All of the options listed are characteristic features of living organisms.

Phylum Arthropoda is characterized by a segmented body, jointed appendages, and an exoskeleton made of chitin.

Photosynthesis is a characteristic feature of the kingdom Plantae, as plants are autotrophic and produce their own food using sunlight.

Viruses have a protein coat (capsid) and lack cellular structure and metabolism, requiring a host to reproduce.

A good cloning vector should have a high copy number to ensure that multiple copies of the inserted gene are produced within the host cell.

High biodiversity is a characteristic of a stable ecosystem, as it enhances resilience and stability.

The ability to respond to stimuli is a characteristic of all living organisms, allowing them to interact with their environment.

Asexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring from a single parent.

Bryophytes are typically found in moist habitats and do not have true roots, xylem, or phloem.

Complete flowers have all four whorls: sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels.

Dicots are characterized by having net-like leaf venation and two cotyledons.

Dicotyledons are characterized by having two cotyledons in their seeds.

Eukaryotic cells are characterized by the presence of membrane-bound organelles, including a nucleus.

Eukaryotic genes often contain introns, which are non-coding sequences that are removed during RNA processing.

GMOs are organisms whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques, often incorporating genes from other species.

Gibberellins promote flowering and are also involved in seed germination and stem elongation.

The ability to evolve is a characteristic of life, allowing organisms to adapt to their environment over generations.

Living organisms can evolve over time, which is a fundamental characteristic of life.
