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

Which option correctly identifies the number of chromosomes in the cells at each point?

kodGreya [7K]

Option (A) identifies them correctly.

During Meosis 2 daughter cells are formed from a single cell and the chromosomes are equally divided in both the cells.

So, Cell P had 60 chromosome, after miosis 2 daughter cells of each having 30 chromosomes formed, and again after Miosis of from each of those 2 those daughter cells, 2 more daughter cells are formed with equal naumber of chtomosome which equals 15.

The heterozygous birds phenotype would therefore be black and white because both parent genes are dominant so they would be fully expressed,none would overpower the other(no dominant or recessive) this is known as Codominance and and example of this is with the blood types.

Interpret the chemical reaction - what is the overall purpose of photosynthesis?

juin [17]

<h2>interpret the chemical reaction - what is the overall purpose of photosynthesis?</h2>

The main purpose of photosynthesis is to convert radiant energy from the sun into chemical energy that can be used for food. Cellular respiration is the process that occurs in the mitochondria of organisms (animals and plants) to break down sugar in the presence of oxygen to release energy in the form of ATP.

Currently there are about 7 species of the sea turtle.
