Answer:

The technique that is used in inserting a gene into a crop is genetic modification.

What is genetic modified crop?

A genetically modified organism (GMO) is a living organism whose DNA has been altered using genetic engineering techniques.

Humans have used breeding methods to modify organisms for thousands of years. Over generations, corn, cattle, and even dogs have been selectively bred to have certain desired traits.

The majority of GMO crops grown today were developed to assist farmers in preventing crop and food loss and controlling weeds.

The following are the most common traits found in GMO crops: Resistance to certain harmful insects, and Tolerance to certain weed-controlling herbicides.

Thus, with the help of genetic modification, a gene that controls beta-carotene production can be successfully inserted into a common food crop.

Which of these methods that aids in the movement of ions or molecules across a cell membrane requires the use of energy which is
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

D. Active transport.

Explanation:

Active transport is the method that uses the ATP's energy to move ions and molecules from one side to the other of the membrane. The elements move from a place of lower concentration to one of a higher concentration. They move against their concentration gradient, which is why they need the energy to do it. There are two types of active transport, primary and secondary.

The primary active transport is ion pumps that hydrolyze ATP using one of the phosphates of the ATP to change the pump's shape and move the elements against their concentration gradient. It uses the ATP's energy directly.

The secondary active transport does not use ATP directly. It uses the electrochemical gradient that the primary transport had created when hydrolyzing ATP to transport the ions and molecules.

Supply-and-Demand Schedule for Cell Phones Price of Cell Phones Quantity Supplied of Cell Phones Quantity Demanded of Cell Phone
k0ka [10]

Answer:

$150, $200

Explanation:

A schedule that shows relationship between quantity supplied and quantity demanded is used to estimate the equilibrium quantity and price where there is a balance between the buyer's willingness to buy and the seller's willingness to sell.

Below this equilibrium point there is excess of quantity demanded over limited supply.

Above equilibrium there is excess supply and less demand.

According to the given schedule the equilibrium price is $100 where demand and supply are both 300 units.

The prices at which there are excess supply is given below

At $150 400 units is supplied against 250 units demanded

At $200 500 units are supplied against 0 units demanded
