What is the difference between a GMO and cloning
viktelen [127]

Answer:

A GMO Genetically Modified Product though similar to cloning is quite different. Cloning is the process of using egg cells from an individual to produce a new organism. When the baby is born, it is genetically identical to the parent, an exact copy. This process occurs in a lab. Genetic Engineering, which is used to make GMOs,  uses technology to alter or change an organism's genes. New genetic information can be added to or removed from an existing set of DNA.

<em>So I would say that some of the differences between GMOs and cloning include that:</em>

Cloning strives to create exact copies of an organism's parent while GMOs remove and add different genes to form desired offsprings like making a product last longer or making the product grow larger faster.

Hopefully, this helped you! Have a nice day :)

If you wanted to design an artificial hormone who's action on a target cell required the least amount of interaction with that c
vitfil [10]

Answer:

The water soluble hormones affect the target cells with least amount of interaction.

Explanation:

Hormones are the chemical messengers. These are the substances secreted by the endocrine glands. The hormones are secreted directly into the bloodstream and are carried to the target cells within the blood only.  

Based on their structure, hormones are water-soluble or lipid-soluble. The lipid-soluble hormones are steroid hormones and thyroid hormones. These hormones can easily pass through the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane of the target cell. Therefore, the lipid-soluble hormones have intracellular receptors that are present in either cytoplasm or the nucleus of the target cells.  

On the other hand, the water-soluble hormones can not pass through the lipid bilayer of the target cells. Therefore, these hormones have extracellular receptors on the surface of the target cells. Binding of the water-soluble hormones to their cell surface receptors triggers the production of the intracellular second messengers that finally carry the signal to the target protein or any other target molecule.

<u>Therefore, a water-soluble hormone exhibits the least amount of interaction with the target cell. Amine hormones such as epinephrine and melatonin, peptide hormones such as oxytocin are some examples of the water-soluble hormones.  </u>

vfiekz [6]

I. Each carbon atom can form single bonds with up to four other carbon atoms. II. Each carbon atom can form double bonds with up to two other carbon atoms. III. Carbon atoms can join together to form chains or rings. IV. A single molecule of some compounds can contain thousands of carbon atoms.

Answer:

All the given choices

Explanation:

Carbon is a very interesting element which is the backbone of most organic compounds.

Organic compounds are made up of carbon. Carbon forms a wide range of compound due to the following properties;

  • An atom of carbon has 4 valence electrons and can bond with 4 other carbon.
  • Carbon can form single, double and triple covalent bonds.
  • They can join together to form rings or chains.

During a lunar eclipse, what blocks the light from hitting the moon's surface?
Allushta [10]

Answer:

Lunar Eclipse: The moon moves in an orbit around Earth, and at the same time, Earth orbits the sun. Sometimes Earth moves between the sun and the moon. When this happens, Earth blocks the sunlight that normally is reflected by the moon. (This sunlight is what causes the moon to shine.)
