Question 1 FAT TOM is an acronym used to describe the conditions needed for microbes to grow in our food. Based on FAT TOMS, which food that was left to sit on your counter all day would be at greatest risk for bacterial growth? Pepsi Grapefruit Canned green beans (unopened) Black bean salad Question 2 This pathogen may cause a high rate of miscarriages in pregnant women. Campylobacter E. Coli Listeria Salmonella Question 3 A food-borne illness caused by consuming a food in which the pathogen has produced toxins is known as: food-borne intoxication bacterial infection viral intoxication food-borne infection Question 4 Choosing organic foods means your food is free of all risks of exposure to pathogens and contaminants. True False Question 5 Which agency enforces standards for wholesomeness and quality of red meat, poultry, and eggs? The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Question 6 Which of these is not an application of genetic modification of food crops? To increase the nutritional content of crops To make crops resistance to disease To invent new species To make crops resistant to herbicides

I need help answering these questions, please. STUDY QUESTIONS 1. What role does the FDA play in the regulation of the nation's food supply? 2. What are the regulations that the FDA enforces regarding genetically altered foods? 3. How do scientists put a gene from one organism into another? 4. What are the differences between using traditional methods of artificial selection and using various transgenic methods of altering crops? 5. What are the health risks associated with the use of genetic alterations? 6. What role do gene markers play in genetic engineering? 7. How do mutations in DNA sequences affect a species (i.e., what do mutations do)? 8. What might happen if the beneficial traits that scientists inserted into agricultural crops spread to non-agricultural settings? 9. How would the soil biota be affected by using traditional chemical pesticides, and would this differ from using transgenic methods? Which method would be safer and why? 10. How might insects develop a resistance to Bt toxins? What ecological risks would this have? What could be done to combat this, and do you think that it would be effective?
