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>

<span>It could also be used to cure leukemia and hemophilia </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

How does adaptation fit into Darwin's theory of evolution
mario62 [17]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

According to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, organisms that possess heritable traits that enable them to better adapt to their environment compared with other members of their species will be more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass more of their genes on to the next generation. So, with a process called <em>Natural</em><em> </em><em>Selec</em><em>tion</em>, the species who adapts better to their environment survive for more time, until the environment change or until appear another species better to adapt than the first one

Romashka [77]

Question:

Trudy made this Venn diagram comparing interphase and cytokinesis.

Which statement belongs in the region marked X? (image attached)

Answer options:

  • Is the longest stage
  • DNA is copied
  • The number of nuclei doubles
  • The number of cells doubles

Answer:

  • The number of cells doubles

Explanation:

Cytokinesis describes the splitting of the cytoplasm after mitosis. During interphase, the DNA is replicated. During mitosis, the DNA condenses into chromosomes, and the chromosomes are aligned and separated to opposite ends of the cell. During cytokinesis, the cell separates into two daughter cells.

What makes nekton swimming abilities different from plankton and benthos
Nitella [24]

Answer:

The nektonic organisms are those marine organisms that are found in almost every depth. These can move freely from one place to another in the ocean body due to its ability to swim. For example, Turtles, sharks, Fishes, and dolphins.

The planktonic organisms are passive swimmers, as they can move along with the ocean currents and are mostly found in the upper portion of the ocean body. For example, Diatoms and Rotifers.

The benthos is the bottom-dwelling organisms that cannot swim. For example, Bivalves, Corals and Sponges.

The nektonic organisms are different from the planktons and the benthos because the nektons can easily swim. They are constructed with such body parts that allow them to swim and migrate from one region to another region within the ocean water body. Whereas the planktons and the benthos cannot migrate easily and are considered as sessile organisms.
