Answer:

C. Diabetics will have ample supplies of insulin that are produced by bacteria.

Explanation:

The technology of recombinant DNA has allowed scientists to introduce the human insulin gene into E.coli bacteria. E. coli are thus turned into "biological factories" that produce large quantities of human insulin, which can be easily purified and used as medicine for diabetics.

There are many more examples of DNA recombinant technology in human medicine, such as the production of recombinant human growth hormone (hGH) also in E. coli that is injected in individuals who don't produce enough hGH naturally, or even the production of vaccines by inserting antigen-coding DNA into a cell, purifying it and later injecting it into individuals to stimulate immunization.

The shape of the beaks of Darwin's finches and industrial melanism are often cited as examples of the process of ________ leadin
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer: The answer is natural selection

Explanation:

Natural selection explains how certain desirable traits like;

- shape of the beaks of Darwin's finches: to help them feed more easily

- industrial melanism to raise a population of dark-coloured organisms to evolve from pre-existing light coloured ones in industrial areas where the surrondings are blackened with soot;

are favored over LESS DESIRABLE TRAITS, resulting in organisms that are most suited/adapted to thrive in an environment, which is evolutionary change

“Genes and environmental effects are often part of the explanation. “

“...disease-causing alleles of one gene may be suppressed by alleles of another gene elsewhere in the genome, or a person's overall health may influence the strength of a disease phenotype.”

Natural selection can be described as all of the following EXCEPT Question 1 options:
kiruha [24]
Survival of the strongest... an organisms strength does not affect the natural selection process. Natural selection is adapting the species to be able to better survive in its environment. In order to better survive, an organism does not to be strong. e.g. a plant is probably not a “strong” organism and natural selection doesn’t change that in most cases
