How has nearly all the food we eat been "genetically modified" in the broadest sense of the term?

1 answer:

3 0

In the broadest sense of the term, we have modified the genes of almost everything. We used selective breeding to breed the most resistant form of crops, the largest sized chickens, and others. In recent years we have even modified them through gene splicing and other methods. Nearly everything we eat, including including "organic" foods have been changed from their original DNA structure, in fact we do not even know anything's original genetic structure because of this. Genetic modification could also include mutations. Some crops have mutated due to pollution, disease, or other effects such as climate change. Without genetic modification our world would differ from what it looks like today.

Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction with rapid onset and may cause death. In anaphylaxis, systemic vasodilatation that results from the reaction will cause shock.
The symptoms could be decreased blood pressure(hypotension), increased heart rate, dyspnea and loss of consciousness.
The transfusion should be stopped and an epinephrine shot should be given as fast as possible to this client.</span>

Which descriptions apply to a chloroplast?

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer: (A) a membrane‑bound organelle with stacks of thylakoid discs called grana.

(E) the main site of photosynthesis in a plant cell.

Explanation:

The plant chloroplast is a large organelle, it is bounded by a double membrane like structure that is chloroplast envelop.

The chloroplast consists of chlorophyll pigment which traps the light energy from sun and converts it into chemical energy in the form of ATP. Thus the chloroplast is the main site for photosynthesis. Including the inner and outer membrane structure it also posses the third internal membrane structure which is called as the thylakoid membrane. The thylakoid membrane forms the network of flat discs which are called as thylakoids, the thylakoids are arranged in stacks which are called as grana.

The thylakoid membrane is the center point for the synthesis of ATP through a chemiosmotic process.

Andru [333]

Answer:

Dendrites, cell body, axon hillock, axon, synaptic terminals, biceps brachii.

Explanation:

Neurons are the structural and functional unit of the nervous system. The neurons helps in the transmission of nerve impulse in the body. Two main types of neuron are somatic neuron and motor neuron.

The signal is first reach to dendrites. From the dendrites, the signal transmit to the cell body and then to the axon hillock. The signal then transmits to the axon. At the end of neuron the message is transmitted to the synaptic terminal. The nerve impulse finally reaches to the biceps brachii and results in the flexion of the arm at the elbow.
