Great question!

Before genetic engineering, people who needed insulin to survive (diabetics) had to obtain their insulin from pancreases of pigs! When pigs were slaughtered, they removed the pancreas to take out the insulin. Expensive, time consuming - and for jews, not kosher! 

Genetic engineering changed all this - they have cloned the gene for human insulin into a plasmid which they then express in the bacterium Escherichia coli (E. coli). The E. coli makes A LOT of insulin this way - it's made in a stainless steel fermentor (think of how they brew beer) - and it is easily purified. So, now there is human insulin (not pig - so kosher!) and is made fast and cheap!!! No need to slaughter an animal for this anymore!

Which of the following is not a type of adaptation?
enyata [817]

Answer: The correct answer for the first question is- B) Mechanical.

Adaptation can be described as a process of change in an organism over time that facilitates its survival in the changing environmental conditions. It results due to mutation or genetic change in the individual that gives a benefit to the organism. It exhibits change in structure ( like succulent plants in desert), function, or behavior.

Mechanical is not a type of adaptation as it deals with movement of objects.

The correct answer for second question is- C) Variations.

Variation among organisms in a population results from change in the genetic material or their genetic sequences. Change at the genetic level is thus reflected in the phenotypes ( like different color of feathers in birds).

Thus, difference is in the feather color reflects variations.

A loopful of bacteria containing 1000 bacterial cells is inoculated into a nutrient broth and incubated. After a negligible lag
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

<h2>a.  1000 X 2^8</h2>

Explanation:

As given;

Initial population of bacteria= 1000;

Log phase growth is exponential phase, period in which bacteria gets double.

Generation time= 15 minutes;

it means, bacteria get double in every 15 minute,

so after 2 hours, bacteria will have 8 generation times;

so the final generation of bacteria is =1000 X 2^8.

Final bacterial generation after two hours = 256,000(1000 X 2^8)

The primary growth of a plant adds __________, and secondary growth adds __________. View Available Hint(s) The primary growth o
kari74 [83]

Answer:

1. Height

2. Girth

Explanation:

The woody plants grow in two manners: the primary growth and secondary growth.

The primary growth is considered the type of growth which increases the height of the plant which involves the apical meristem present at the tip of the shoot.

When the height increases up to its maximum length, then secondary growth begins which add tissues to the side that is it increases the girth by adding bark, secondary xylem and phloem.

Thus, Height and Girth is correct.

true or false? to make a person breathe in, the volume of the chest cavity must decrease, creating a higher pressure in the thor
faltersainse [42]

The thorax is a very vital and important organ in the human body.

  • It is a structure that serves as a<u> </u><u>protective covering</u> for organs in the body such as<u> the lungs, the heart, some vital blood vessels</u> e.t.c

It is<u> false</u> that to <em>make a person breathe in, the volume of the chest cavity must decrease, creating a higher pressure in the thorax.</em>

  • When a person breathes in,  <u>the chest cavity expands (the volume increases) and the pressure in the thorax decreases.</u>

  • When a person breathes out, <u>the chest cavity decreases in size, and the pressure in the thorax increases. </u>

  • Therefore, we can see that the <u>process of breathing in humans</u>, follows the <u>principle of Boyle's Law.</u>

  • Boyle's law states that as the<u> volume increases there is a decrease in pressure</u> and <u>as the volume decrease there is an increase in pressure. </u>

Therefore, It is <u>false</u> that to <em>make a person breathe in, the volume of the chest cavity must decrease, creating a higher pressure in the thorax.</em>
