Genetic engineering has applications in medicine, research, industry and agriculture and can be used on a wide range of plants, animals and microorganisms.

Genetic engineering has produced a variety of drugs and hormones for medical use. For example, one of its earliest uses in pharmaceuticals was gene splicing to manufacture large amounts of insulin, made using cells of E. coli bacteria. 

I<span>nterferon</span><span>, which is used to eliminate certain viruses and kill cancer cells, also is a product of genetic engineering, as are tissue plasminogen activator and urokinase, which are used to dissolve blood clots.</span>

Genetic engineering is the process of manipulating the genes and therfor the traits of an organism

we already genetically engineer our plants so they are stonger, faster, and produce better (better looking, better tasting, etc) fruit/food.

we might possible be able to genetically engineer humand or babies to controll the traits we want  (do you want your baby to be good at this)

basically genetic engineering is normally used to change theh current state of something so that it is more suited for the job that you intend for it

Which parts of photosynthesis occur in the thylakoid membranes of the grana?.
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The light-dependent reactions take place in the thylakoid membranes in the granum (stack of thylakoids), within the chloroplast. Figure: The two stages of photosynthesis: Photosynthesis takes place in two stages: light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions).

Explanation:

Each stack is called a granum (the plural is grana) which is suspended in a fluid called stroma. The light-dependent reactions occur in the grana; the light-independent reactions take place in the stroma of the chloroplasts.

What is a dinosaur that still lives among us today? readworks answers
Dominik [7]
In an evolutionary sense, birds are a living group of dinosaurs because they descended from the common ancestor of all dinosaurs. Other than birds, however, there is no scientific evidence that any dinosaurs, such as Tyrannosaurus, Velociraptor, Apatosaurus, Stegosaurus, or Triceratops, are still alive.

• Give an example of how the atmosphere can change<br> the biosphere.
irga5000 [103]

By trapping heat, greenhouse gases contribute to our planet's warming. Because of its involvement in the Earth's carbon cycle and nitrogen cycle, the biosphere influences the amounts of some of the major greenhouse gases such as methane, carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide.
