Explanation / Answer

20 (d) All of these arguments are used.

All the options are the beneficial effects of Genetically modified food. I.e they improves nutritional quality of food and improve the general health of individuals. Even in the case of less favourable climatic conditions, they yield same amount of food. improved shelf life, also increases the quality of fresh fruits and vegetables.

21 (a) it is a new technology that unnaturally breaks genetic barriers between species.

22 (b) A large percentage of U.S. crops are currently genetically engineered.

Since,GMOs were approved for commercial use and then first planted into U.S soil in 1996, their production has increased dramatically. More than 90% of all soyabeans cotton and corn acreage in the US is used to grow genetically engineered crops And also glyphoshate doesn't kill genetically altered plants. so option (c) is false.

23 (b) Abortion, abadonment and infanticide of males occur regularly.

Rest all the options mentioned aforesaid are the consequences of china's one child policy. The policies had an impact on fertility rates, the sex ratio, female infanticide and traditional marriage. hence (B) is a false statement and hence NOT a consequence.

24 (c) Greater availibility of contraceptives

the main factors responsible for decrease in death rates are -

1- improvements in public health

2 advancements in vaccines and proper medication

3- improved nutrition and medical care

Availibility of contraceptives is NOT a cause for decline in death rate.

25 (a) 7 billion people

The current world population is 7.6 billion as of August 2018 according to the most recent United Nations estimate.
