Golden rice is a transgenic plant.

1 answer:

8 0

The choice that best describes how rice was modified to create golden rice is genes from daffodils were added to rice that code for increased vitamin A production.

<h3>What is a transgenic organism?</h3>

A transgenic organism is an organism whose genome has been changed by the addition of a gene from another species.

Transgenic organism is formed as a result of the process of genetic recombination to produce organisms with better traits.

Therefore, the choice that best describes how rice was modified to create golden rice is genes from daffodils were added to rice that code for increased vitamin A production.

Your body contains tens of thousands of different proteins, each with a specific structure and function. The unique three-dimens

valkas [14]

Answer:

Each protein with a specific structure and function

The unique three dimensional shape of proteins is based on several superimposed levels of structure

Explanation:

Proteins are essential nutrients for human and a vital source of fuel for building body tissues. They are made up of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. These amino acids act as precursor to nucleic acids, hormones, immune, repair of tissues among others.

Proteins contain 20 amino acids which are the building block for proteins. These amino acids can be reformed to create millions of protein in human body in which each protein has specific structure and function.

The three dimensional arrangement of atoms in an amino acid chain is know as the protein structure. The precise shape formed determine the protein function.

Each of the four pedigrees that follow represents a human family within which a genetic disease is segregating. Affected individ

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The following four traits are -:

Pedigree 1 - A recessive trait (autosomal recessive) is expressed by pedigree 1.
Pedigree 2- Recessive inheritance is defined by Pedigree 2.
Pedigree 3 - The inheritance of the dominant trait (autosomal dominant) is illustrated by Pedigree 3.
Pedigree 4- An X-like dominant trait is expressed by Pedigree 4.

Explanation:

Explaination of each pedigree chart-

Pedigree 1 demonstrates the recessive trait since their children have been affected by two unaffected individuals. If the characteristics were X-linked, in order to have an affected daughter, I-1 would have to be affected. $X^A$ In this, both parents are autosomal recessive trait carriers, so the child will be affected by a 1/4 (aa)
Recessive inheritance is defined by Pedigree 2. This is X-related inheritance as autosomal recessive inheritance has already been accounted for in part 1. This inference is confirmed by evidence showing that the father (I-1) is unaffected and that only the sons exhibit the characteristic in generation II, suggesting that the mother must be the carrier. The individual I-2 is a carrier for this X-linked trait. A typical Xa chromosome is attached to the unaffected father (I-1), so the chance of carrier II-5 is 1/2. Probability of an affected son = 1/2 (probability II-5 is a carrier) x 1/2 (probability II -5 contributes ( $X^A$ ) x 1/2 (probability of Y from father II-6) = 1/8. An affected daughter's likelihood is 0 because a typical $X^A$ must be contributed by II-6.
The inheritance of the dominant trait is demonstrated by Pedigree 3 because affected children still have affected parents (remember that all four diseases are rare). The trait must be autosomal dominant because it is passed down to the son by the affected father. There is a 1/2 risk that the heterozygous mother (II-5) would pass on mutant alleles to a child of either sex for an autosomal dominant feature.
Pedigree 4 is an X-linked dominant function characterized by the transmission to all of his daughters from the affected father but none of his son. On the mutant X chromosome, the father (I-1) passes on to all his daughters and none of his sons. As seen by his normal phenotype, II-6 therefore does not bear the mutation. An affected child's likelihood is 0.

1. a sequence of sugars, phosphates, and nitrogenous organic bases

Lina20 [59]

Answer is Nucleic Acid

Reasoning - Because phosphate, sugar, nitrogenous make up the Acid !!! lol RNA is synthesis of protein. DNA is the control of genetics which is obvious.
