Evidence of glyphosate as a potent agent of selection on weed populations includes

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both A and B describe mechanisms by which weed populations have evolved resistance to glyphosate, demonstrating its role as a selective agent. In A, the independent mutations in the EPSPS gene in different species show a direct genetic adaptation to glyphosate. In B, gene duplication in Palmer amaranth increases the production of the enzyme targeted by glyphosate, allowing the plants to survive despite the herbicide's presence.
