Genetically modified (GM) crops are foods that have had their genomes modified, allowing humans to increase the production of certain crops. Farmer A purchases GM seeds that are immune to a specific herbicide. She plants these seeds in rows over seventeen acres. The following spring, Farmer A's neighbor, Farmer B, tells her that nearly a third of the plants in his crop fields have the same immunity.
Which of the following describes the most likely explanation for this occurrence?
a. Rabbits which frequent both fields carried the seeds across to Farmer B's land.
b. Farmer A's crops cross-pollinated with Farmer B's crops on the neighboring land.
c. The two farms share an irrigation system which transmitted the immunity from one field to another.
d. By increasing the genetic diversity in Farmer A's crops, they have out-competed the crops on Farmer B's land.

On a recent expedition to a remote region of northern canada, scientists uncovered skeletal remains from about 100,000 years ago. surprisingly, all the skeletal remains, which included many species from differing biological families and spanned about two thousand years, showed evidence of experiencing temperatures in excess of 1000 degrees fahrenheit (or 538 degrees celsius). which of the following, if true, best explains the apparent paradox between the cold environment and the evidence of the bones experiencing hot temperatures? (a) chemical changes that naturally occur during the process of decay in only one north canadian species produce the same evidence of the species' skeletons being exposed to hot temperatures as the expedition scientists found. (b) a little over 103,000 years ago, a large fire is known to have occurred in northern canada. (c) strong evidence exists that as early as 70,000 years ago, homo sapiens around the world relied heavily on fire to cook animals. (d) in the same expedition and in roughly the same layer of excavation, scientists found rudimentary wood cutting and hunting tools used by early humans.
