What do scientists hope to accomplish using recombinant DNA?

Ber [7]3 years ago

The correct answer is: Replacement of defective genes with normal genes

Recombinant DNA molecules are made in laboratory by the methods of genetic recombination such as molecular cloning. The aim of these methods is to bring together genetic material from different sources, creating “combinations” that usually couldn’t be found in the genome. The process of recombination is possible because, DNA molecules from all organisms share the same chemical structure (nucleotides are same among different species, difference is only in the nucleotide sequence).

Which statement BEST explains how RNA polymerase knows where to start and stop making an RNA copy of DNA?
guapka [62]

"The enzyme only binds to regions of DNA known as promoters, which have specific base sequences" statement BEST explains how RNA polymerase knows where to start and stop making an RNA copy of DNA.

Option: D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Transcription is the mechanism which happens when polymerase of RNA (principal enzyme for transcription) attaches by aid proteins or personally or to a promoter segment near the gene beginning.

For generating a new molecule of RNA which is complementary, RNA polymerase utilizes one of the DNA strands or the parent strand as a template.

For an instance, trying to block mushroom toxicity transcription triggers liver failure and death, as no new RNAs and therefore no fresh proteins can be produced.

The differences in traits among all of your monsters are due to differences in the dna code. What is the source of these differe
Novosadov [1.4K]

Mutation is the source of differences in the dna code.

What is Mutation?

  • A mutation is a permanent change in the DNA sequence of an organism.Errors in DNA replication during cell division, exposure to mutagens, or viral infection can all cause mutations.
  • Somatic mutations (which happen in body cells) cannot be passed on to offspring, whereas germline mutations (which happen in eggs and sperm) can.
  • Damaged DNA can change by base pair replacement, deletion, or insertion. The majority of the time, mutations are benign, unless they result in tumor growth or cell death. Cells have developed systems for repairing damaged DNA due to the deadly potential of DNA mutations.

Answer:

If the oil spilled in the gulf would have been processed oil, it would be worse than a normal oil spill as these oils have a higher shelf life.

Explanation:

Oil spills happen when a large quantity of oil gets mixed with large water bodies like <em>sea and oceans</em>. The oil being denser than water floats on the surface and does not mix with the water. It forms a coating on top of the water.

The difference between processed oil and normal oil is that they are heated at very <u>high temperatures</u> and this results in oxidation which creates <em>free radicals</em>, which are not good for the body and its cells. Also they have a very long shelf life due to which they will remain on water for a long time.

When oil spills happen, the <em>wind</em> cause the spill to spread over the water surface, thereby engulfing a large amount of area. The major disadvantages of the spill are:-

  • The oil gets stuck in the feathers of the birds who come by to dip themselves,
  • Animals like whale, dolphins have blow holes for releasing water. the oil covers these holes and makes it difficult for them to breathe.
  • The fur of animals like <u>seal and otter </u>gets mixed with the oil and can prove harmful to them as it gets them exposed to cold.
  • The overall BOD of the water body decreases, and organisms which use sun rays coming inside the ocean suffer as these get blocked.
  • Since processed oil has longer shelf life, a large quantity of animals will suffer and die.

When interacting with the mother of a child who has duchenne muscular dystrophy, the nurse observes behavior indicating that the
Vinvika [58]
The mother may feel guilty about her child's condition because she may think that the child had that disease genetically from one or both of his or her parents. The mother may exhibit signs of self-blaming because she feels like it is her fault that her child is suffering from the disease. The healthcare practitioner should approach the mother in a biopsychosocial approach wherein the mother is allowed to vent out (catharsis), then the healthcare practitioner should make things clearer (educate), and then have the appropriate action given.

Why is osmosis important to the survival of a cell
stiv31 [10]

The most important function of osmosis is stabilising the internal environment of an organism by keeping the water and intercellular fluids levels balanced. In all living organisms, nutrients and minerals make their way to the cells because of osmosis. This obviously is essential to the survival of a cell.
