Answer:

The correct answer would be B an increase in predation.

Predation is one of the many biological interactions in which one organism is benefited and other is harmed. In this interaction, one organism kills the other one to get nutrition out of it.

The one who kills is known as predator and the one who is killed is known as prey.

In nature, mice serves as a prey for many organisms such as snake, owl, hawk, cat, dog etc. Hence, there are concrete chances of increased predation of mice in an area.

Other reasons for the decrease in a population of any organism in nature can be: increased competition, habitat destruction, mutation, new disease or fast rate of transmission of disease etc.

If a population of mice occupies a tree stump in a forest and the number of mice has decreased, it is likely due to an increase in predation. The answer is letter B. When a mouse is in the forest, it will be part of the ecosystem there. When it looks for food, they can also become food for other animals.

What are the advantages to using prokaryotic as host systems for genetic engineering? What are the limitations to genetic engine
ahrayia [7]

Answer and Explanation:

The manipulation of the gene is called genetic engineering. In genetic engineering, fragments of genes are cloned by leading the genes into the host cell. The advantage of using a prokaryotic host system in genetic engineering is that bacterial cells are used to produce commercially significant products. For example, human growth hormone helps to treat dwarfism, and human insulin production, which is used to treat diabetes. The bacterium P.putida is created by genetic engineering, which is used to break down petroleum products. Genetic engineering also carries some potential risks, such as transferring the selected gene into another speice, benefit one species can harm another speice. Therefore genetic engineering must be used in limit in prokaryotes. These limitations are also addressable in single-cell eukaryotic systems. Biologics-based therapeutic medicines such as a vaccine, gene therapies, and cell therapies known as bioproduction are produced. Medicines are so complex that they can only be formed in a living system. Biopharmaceuticals, value-added food, fuels, chemicals, antibiotics, and many other products are produced by bioproduction.

Briefly explain what clues to look for to tell if a cell is in each of the following phases of mitosis:
k0ka [10]

Answer:prophase----the chromosomes shorten and thicken.the nuclear membrane has open up and the nucleolus has disappeared

Metaphase----the chromosomes migrate to the central plane of the cell and attach to the spindle fibres microtubules

Anaphase---the chromatids of each chromosomes part and move towards opposite poles of the spindle as the spindle fibres shorten

Telophase----the chromatids are in the polar end of the spindle .the spindle breaks down,the centrioles replicate,the nuclear membrane is reformed,the chromosomes gradually uncoil.
