1 answer:

4 0

The bone that's most commonly used to determine the height of the deceased is the femur (although the humerus can also be used). The femur is measured in cm and the calculations may very according to the gender of the deceased and can be accurate within 5 cm.
The femur is a long bone that is hard and, therefore, can keep its integrity longer. As well as it is a bone that generally is proportional to the body.

A DNA molecule produced by combining DNA from different sources is known as

Digiron [165]

Answer:

A DNA molecule produced by combining DNA from different sources is known as recombinant DNA.

Explanation:

Recombinant DNA (rDNA) can be obtained by coupling DNA fragments from different sources, a process that is performed at the restriction site level and uses enzymes.

Once rDNA has been designed —cutting out fragments of DNA that are then reassembled— it must be brought to a specific location in the cells, to be copied and expressed, using means of transport called vectors.

DNA recombination is performed in biotechnology laboratories specialized in the manipulation of genetic material.

The other options are not correct because:

Mutant or mutated DNA is a DNA molecule with an alteration of its nitrogenous base sequence
Hybrid DNA is a variant of recombiant DNA, in which only two DNA molecules from different sources are used.
Polyploid refers to cells containing the genome of different species.
