In what phase of meiosis are tetrads separated as homologous chromosomes are pulled to opposite poles of the cell? cientists have developed genetically engineered plants that are pest-resistant. by adding genes to the plant’s dna, they become toxic to insects (but not to plants or animals). this means that these plants may not need to be sprayed with pesticides to ward off the insects. would you be willing to eat these genetically altered crops? explain your answer.

1. Tetrads are seperated as homologous chromosomes and pulled to opposite poles of the cell in Anaphase 1.

2.If I'm hungry, sure, but that doesn't mean i'm pro-GMO. GMO i s a solution looking for a problem.

There is no shortage of food on the planet.

GMO is hightech, and creates monopolies.

Commercial GMO isn't used to *reduce* pesticide-use, but to be able to *increase* the use of "roundup" (glyphosate)

GMO is expensive, which means the companies producing it will want it used on an extremely large scale to make it affordable. This can reduce biodiversity because there aren't enough acres left for all other varieties of the crop.

the answer is d.) homologous; have mammary glands

as in mitosis, dna replication occurs during interphase.   in meiosis, it occurs specifically in s phase of interphase 1.
