Any genetically engineered organisms is referred to as a transgenic organism.

A transgenic organism is any organism that was modified genetically or engineered by humans, for certain purposes, in this case, the function of the thale cress is to break down toxic metals in the water (cress plants grow on water).

Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!

What is the relative humidity percentage when the “real feel” is 108 degrees F and the temperature is 96 degrees F?
artcher [175]

Answer:

The answer is B. Relative humidity percentage will be 50 %.

Explanation:

Relative humidity is the percentage of water vapors in the air at a particular temperature compared to the how much it can hold at that temperature. if the relative humidity is high (100%) we feel hotter than the actual temperature because water will not evaporate due to air saturation. in this case as the real feel is 108 F at 96 F the relative humidity will be 50 %.

DDT is a synthetic compound commonly used as an insecticide. It was used to control mosquito species that commonly spread diseas
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The phenomenon that explains the trend seen in the data is that the mosquitoes' evolution has led them to develop resistance to the compound.

Explanation:

This is a very common factor that we can see in insects. The effect of DDT on the species will have different levels of impact. One is going to be more vulnerable to the compound that the rest. However, after many times of exposition to the compound, a few survivors will develop resistance to the compound and their offspring is going to inherit that resistance. Making them increase the resistance over time.

What is the basic difference in effector function between helper and cytotoxic T cells?
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Helper T cells stimulate B-cells to produce antibodies and killer T cells to destroy the non-self cells. Cytotoxic T cells on the other hand are direct attack cells. They can kill the micro organisms by creating pores on the invader's cell.

Explanation:

T lymphocyte mediated immunity of cell mediated immunity do not secrete antibodies but they help stimulate the B cells to produce them. Immature T cells are produced in bone marrow from where they migrate to thymus via blood. In the thymus maturation of T cells occur and then they migrate to lymphoid tissue and get differentiated into three types:

a. Helper T cells: As the name suggests, they help in activating other immune cells, in other terms they are the regulator of virtually all functions of immune system. Protein mediator called lymphokines are produced by these helper T cells in order to regulate the immune functions. Some examples of these lymphokines are: Interleukin-2 interleukin-3, interferon gamma. T helper cells stimulate the B-cells to produce antibodies.

b. Cytotoxic cells or killer T cells: The lymphokine interleukin-2 is responsible for the growth and proliferation of both cytotoxic T cells and suppressor T cells. With the help of receptor proteins on the surface of killer T cells, they bind to the specific antigen. After binding, they secrete a pore forming protein called perforins which create pores on the invaders cell membrane for water to enter into it thereby cell swells and finally lyse.

c. Suppressor T cells: They suppress the function of above two T cells.
