Answer:
C.The added epitope disrupts the function of the tagged protein
Explanation:
When an additional sequence is tagged to a protein to use comercial antibodies, there are several reasons why this procedure wouldn't work as expected (note that we're assuming the protein is being expressed but it's not possible to detect it).
For example, the sequence of nucleotide added to codify for the tagged epitope are removed during the RNA processing. In that case, the protein would be expressed without the epitope, so it would be impossible to localize it with the antibodies.
Also, it could be that the new epitope is affecting some way the protein folding, making it not functional. This way, it would be degraded by the cell so it wouldn't be detected.
Another possibility is that the epitope doesn't affects the protein folding nor its function, but during the folding ends up in a conformation that makes it inaccesible for the antibody.
In summary, the way as the possible answers to this question are shown, the correct option seems to be C:<em> The added epitope disrupts the function of the target protein.</em>
Genetically modified foods are resistant to insents and plant viruses - TRUE
Genetically modified foods are yet available to consumers at the grocery store -false
genetically modified foods have delayed fruit ripening for shell life during transportation -TRUE

Ans.
Cell-to-cell communication allows signalling of essential substances between the plant cells, which are surrounded by cell walls. The molecules used by plants for long-distance signalling are known as hormones, such as auxin, ethylene, and gibberelin.
These hormones are secreted by one plant cell and received by another plant cell, where it exerts it affect. Thus, the correct answer to be fill in the blank is 'option A). hormones.'
Explanation:
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar
