Cells are composed of water, inorganic ions, and carbon-containing (organic) molecules. Water is the most abundant molecule in cells, accounting for 70% or more of total cell mass. Consequently, the interactions between water and the other constituents of cells are of central importance in biological chemistry.
<u>Answer;</u>
C) organic matter; rocks.
The uppermost horizon, horizon O, in this profile is composed mostly of <u>organic matter</u>, while the lower horizon, horizon C, is composed mostly of <u>rocks.</u>
<u>Explanation;</u>
-Soil contains the following major horizons, that is A B and C. Some soils may have horizon O, which may be thin or thick or even lack in some soils. This O horizon is found at the surface of many soils and normally contains organic materials at various decomposition stages. these are materials such as plants, leaves and bugs.
-C horizon is the layer that is below the B horizon. It contains larger weathered fragments or broken up-bedrock.
Answer:
Gene therapy
Explanation:
Gene therapy can be defined as the methodologies used to modify/restore the expression of target genes and thus cure and treat genetic disorders. Gene therapy approaches consist of delivering specific nucleic acids (either RNA or DNA) in the cells of the individual to be treated. Some of the most important gene therapy approaches include the use of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) in order to block target gene expression, adenovirus vectors to insert genes into host cells, the use of the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing system to insert specific sequences by the mechanism of homologous recombination, etc.
