Answer:
Genetic engineering can be described as a process in which the DNA of an organism is modified to change its characteristics or phenotype.
DNA modification occurs when a 'gene of interest' is taken from an organism and introduced into a vector such as a plasmid. Or this gene or piece of DNA might directly be incorporated into another organism. The gene of interest incorporated into the DNA of a host will be able to express itself.
Answer:
Mutation.
Explanation:
Mutation may be defined as the sudden heritable change in the DNA sequence of the organisms. Mutation can results in the change in the genotype and phenotype of the organisms.
Two main types of mutation are spontaneous mutation and induced mutation. Induced mutation occurs intentionally with the help of the mutagens. Spontaneous mutation is the natural mutation that occurs for the no known reason.
Thus, the answer is spontaneous mutation.
Answer:
So that in a guinea pig cross in the offspring the recessive trait —long hair— can be observed in 25%, the most probable genotype of the parents is heterozygous Ss.
Explanation:
In guinea pigs, for the characteristic<u> hair length, short hair is the dominant allele and long hair is the recessive one</u>.
In order for 25% of the offspring to express the recessive characteristic, the parents must have a recessive genotype, which can be seen in Punnett's Square:
P: <u>Ss X Ss
</u>
<em>Alleles S s
</em>
<em>S SS Ss
</em>
<em>s Ss ss
</em>
Where the offspring is:
- <em>50% Ss with short hair phenotype
</em>
- <em>25% SS with short hair phenotype
</em>
- <em>25% ss whose phenotype would be long hair.
</em>
According to this, heterozygous parents for the characteristic long hair in guinea pigs have a 25% chance of having offspring with long hair.
Answer:
field studies
Explanation:
The documentation and collection of descriptive details of events in nature such as amounts, sizes, colors, smell , behavior, texture e.t.c are all categorized as field studies.
It involves the gathering of raw data outside a laboratory.
- Often times, based on the needs of an experiment, it is desirable to corroborate laboratory studies with field evidences.
- The approach in gathering such data varies from discipline to discipline.
- Most field sampling are usually done in an uncontrolled environment.
Gravity is a force which causes objects to fall or be still on the earth's surface. This invisible force has been longed explored mainly by many scientist however, Isaac Newton was first to conceptualize this into a proper principle.
GravityLight is a device that was recently developed by engineers that is designed to produce light through the force of gravity.
