Answer:

The one of best example would be appendix in humans.

Explanation:

In the past, the appendix may have helped in the digestion of the plants by producing mucus and prevent any type of infection. Plants with a high content of cellulose are digested with the help of the appendix as reported.

It is not a part of the human digestive system and considers as a vestigial organ. Vestigial organs are the organs that are present in an organism with no particular function and their removal will not lead to any harm. Humans do not need it because our digestive system is more efficient and works better in the first stages of digestion than they used to.

Thus, the correct answer is - appendix in humans.

Can you live if your intestines fall out of your stomach?

alina1380 [7]

I do not believe it is possible for long periods of time. If the intestines are still intact, one can live for up to a certain period of time without medical help. However, this is an extremely short period of time.

5. a. What technology produced the results illustrated here, and what is this

notsponge [240]

The technology that was used to produce the results illustrated in the image is gel electrophoresis and it is used for separating deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) fragments.

Gel electrophoresis can be defined as a technology that is used in the laboratory for the separation of mixtures of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), ribonucleic acid (RNA) or other macromolecules such as proteins based on molecular size and charge.

In gel electrophoresis, an electric current is applied to the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) samples so as to create fragments that can be used to compare the various samples of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

The steps involved in gel electrophoresis include the following:

Extraction of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

DNA isolation and amplification.

Addition of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) to the gel wells.

Application of an electric current to the gel.

The separation of DNA bands based on molecular size and charge.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) bands are stained.
