Consider the three different types of stem cells. Each one’s ability to differentiate into new cells is slightly different. One type can differentiate into any cell, while another can only become specific cells. Select the answer that places the three types in the correct order, from widest range of differentiation to least able to differentiate (specific). (1 point)

Analyze the impact of NAFTA on Mexican corn farmers. Why did so many Mexican corn farmers lose their livelihoods as a consequence of NAFTA? (1 point)
Manufacturing jobs that processed the corn left Mexico for the U.S. due to lower wages, reducing the need for Mexican-grown corn.
NAFTA gave subsidies to Mexican corn farmers to increase production, which flooded the market.
Mexican farmers could not compete with government- subsidized U.S. corn.
Changes in consumer food preferences from corn toward wheat reduced demand.
