Answer:
Genetic engineering has multiple applications in different fields. Genetic engineering is the process by which alterations are made at the genetic level so that the final product is superior in quality and yield.
Explanation:
Following are few of it's applications:
<u>Medical field</u>- Genetic engineering is been used to produce insulin artificially, human growth hormones, anti hemophiliac factors, vaccines and other drugs.
<u>Agricultural industry</u>- It has been used to synthesize improvised crops which give better yield and are pest resistant. E.g Flavr savr, a species of tomato which is more juicy and larger in size than regular tomatoes.
<u>Environment</u>- With the introduction of herbicide resistant corn, farmers reduced the use of tractors which in turn reduced the amount of greenhouse gases. Also, by imparting disease resistance to plants, a lot of plants are prevented from dying. In addition, the biodiversity of an area can be maintained.
Answer:
The <u>vas deferens</u> transports mature sperm to the urethra in preparation for ejaculation.
Lipids form the bilayer of cell membrane which act as a partially permeable mmbrane of cell to control the substances moving in and out of the cell.
The answer is D) 1/2.
Let's imagine that two genes of the genotype can be analysed separately.
Black fur is determined by dominant allele B. In this case, parents Bb and BB will give offspring with only brown fur:
Parents: Bb x BB
Offspring: BB BB Bb Bb
Both homozygous (BB) and heterozygous (Bb) offspring will have black fur.
On the other hand, long tails are determined by recessive allele t. Parents Tt and tt will have 50% offspring with short tail and 50% offspring with long tail:
Parents: Tt x tt
Offspring: Tt Tt tt tt
Heterozygous offspring (Tt) will have short tail, and homozygous offspring (tt) will have a long tail.
So, the offspring will definitely have black fur and will not affect the fraction of the offspring with black fur and long tails from the cross of <span>BbTt × BBtt. But, </span>there will be 2 out of 4 offspring with short tails which is 50% or 1/2.
