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.

Interferon, 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.

It could also be used to cure leukemia and hemophilia

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

If the bicuspid (mitral) valve is not fully closing, does pulmonary circulation increase, decrease, or not change?

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer: Decrease

It will decrees because required volume of blood will not be emptied into the pulmonary circulation to reach the lung for oxygenation. Rather blood flows back into the Right atrium ,(regurgitation,) through the these valves during ventricular contraction ( systole)of the Right Ventricle instead to the pulmonary circulation which reduces blood flow leading to volume overload in the heart. Eventually this affects systemic circulation,

Afferent neurones connect?

professor190 [17]

Answer:

These neurons are located in the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord). Afferent and efferent neurons have to work together in order to sense and respond to stimulus, but they don't directly connect. Association neurons bridge the gap to relay information between sensory and motor neurons.

Red maple tree seeds are dispersed by the wind. This species of tree can be found in fields, woods, and even wetlands. What type

babymother [125]

Answer:

Red maple tree seeds are dispersed by the wind during spring and summer time that are found in fields,woods,and wetlands.

Explanation:

Red maple tree is the most common wide spread deciduous tree that are mainly found in eastern and central North America.This tree mainly grows in dry soil,in swamp region.This tree is the state tree of Rhode island.

This plant require different mechanism of dispersion that allows their seed to disperse from one place to another.

Seed dispersal prevents parent plant from having to share resources like water,nutrient,light etc.

Seed dispersion of red maple tree allows it to receive light for growth after germination.
