Accepted Answer

### Question 8
# Brief Explanations:
- Option a: Genetic engineering of crops (GMOs) aims to improve traits like higher yield and better nutrition, which is a common goal.
- Option b: Resistance to fertilizer is not a typical goal of GMO crop engineering (fertilizer is used to help growth, not something to resist).
- Option c: Artificial selection is different from genetic engineering (GMOs involve direct gene manipulation, not artificial selection).
- Option d: Increasing genetic variation isn't the main goal of creating GMOs for crops; the goal is to introduce beneficial traits, not just variation.

So the correct option is a.
# Answer:
a. How to create a crop with a higher yield and greater nutritional value?

### Question 9
# Brief Explanations:
- Option a: Crossing over occurs in meiosis, not mitosis.
- Option b: Mitosis does not reduce chromosome number (meiosis does that), and it's not about preventing mutations.
- Option c: Independent assortment and new alleles via that are part of meiosis, not mitosis.
- Option d: Mitosis replicates DNA accurately and produces genetically identical daughter cells, which maintains genetic continuity (same genetic material is passed to new cells).

So the correct option is d.
# Answer:
d. It creates genetically identical cells by accurately replicating DNA.
