Process of genetic engineering

Chemistry
1 answer:

8 0

Genetic engineering is the process of using recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology to alter the genetic makeup of an organism. Genetic engineering involves the direct manipulation of one or more genes. Most often, a gene from another species is added to an organism's genome to give it a desired phenotype. It involves 3 steps:

(1) The isolation of DNA fragments from a donor organism;

(2) The insertion of an isolated donor DNA fragment into a vector genome

(3) The growth of a recombinant vector in an appropriate host.

An example of genetic engineering is production of insulin. In plants, genetic engineering has been applied to improve the resilience, nutritional value and growth rate of crops, for example, potatoes, tomatoes and rice.

In animals it has been utilized to develop sheep that produce a therapeutic protein in their milk that can be used to treat cystic fibrosis, or worms that glow in the dark to permit scientists to become more familiar with diseases such as Alzheimer’s.

If 16.4 grams of calcium nitrate is heated as shown in the reaction:
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

7.2

Explanation:

you first have to find the number of moles of nitrogen dioxide by using the number of moles for calcium nitrate and the mole to mole ratios

number of moles of calcium nitrate=mass/mm

=16.4/102

=0.16g/mol

then you use the mole to mole ratios

2 : 4

0.16: x

2x/2=0.64/2

x=0.32g/moles of nitrogen dioxide

then you use the formula for the volume

v=22.4n

=22.4×0.32

=7.2

I hope this helps

Describe, in detail, how to make 5.5 liters of a 2.5 molar HCl solution from a 10.5 molar HCl stock solution.
Misha Larkins [42]
The stock solution contains 10.5 moles of HCl per litre. A 5.5 litre solution of 2.5M HCl contains 5.5x2.5 = 13.75moles of HCl. Since every litre of stock solution provides 10.5M HCl, the amount of stock solution needed is 13.75/10.5 = 1.309L. Therefore you would dilute 1.309L of stock solution to 5.5L

Carbon-12 and carbon-13 are isotopes of carbon.
ohaa [14]

Answer:

Isotopes of an element share the same number of protons but have different numbers of neutrons. Let's use carbon as an example. There are three isotopes of carbon found in nature – carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14. All three have six protons, but their neutron numbers - 6, 7, and 8, respectively - all differ.

A student is asked to standardize a solution of potassium hydroxide. He weighs out 1.08 g potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHC8H4O4
natka813 [3]

Answer:

A. 0.143 M

B. 0.0523 M

Explanation:

A.

Let's consider the neutralization reaction between potassium hydroxide and potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP).

KOH + KHC₈H₄O₄ → H₂O + K₂C₈H₄O₄

The molar mass of KHP is 204.22 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 1.08 g are:

1.08 g × (1 mol/204.22 g) = 5.28 × 10⁻³ mol

The molar ratio of KOH to KHC₈H₄O₄ is 1:1. The reacting moles of KOH are 5.28 × 10⁻³ moles.

5.28 × 10⁻³ moles of KOH occupy a volume of 36.8 mL. The molarity of the KOH solution is:

M = 5.28 × 10⁻³ mol / 0.0368 L = 0.143 M

B.

Let's consider the neutralization of potassium hydroxide and perchloric acid.

KOH + HClO₄ → KClO₄ + H₂O

When the molar ratio of acid (A) to base (B) is 1:1, we can use the following expression.

M_{A} \times V_{A} = M_{B} \times V_{B}\\M_{A} = \frac{M_{B} \times V_{B}}{V_{A}} \\M_{A} = \frac{0.143 M \times 10.1mL}{27.6mL}\\M_{A} =0.0523 M
