Process of genetic engineering

Chemistry
1 answer:
Novay_Z [31]3 years ago
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.

80) Which one of the following should have the lowest boiling point? Group of answer choices HCl H2S PH3 H2O SiH4
Lunna [17]

Answer:

SiH4

Explanation:

We must remember that the magnitude of intermolecular forces play a vital role in the determination of the boiling point of a substance.

The Si-H bond is the least polar among all the bonds in compounds listed in the question. This is because the electronegativity difference between silicon and hydrogen is very slim resulting in the formation of a nonpolar covalent bond.

The other compounds possess more polar bonds hence have a greater degree of dipole interaction between molecules and a consequently higher boiling point than SiH4.

A sample of trifluoroacetic acid, C2HF3O2, contains 38.9 g of oxygen. Calculate the mass of the trifluoroacetic acid sample.
qwelly [4]

Answer:

138.6 g of  C₂HF₃O₂ have 38.9 g of O

Explanation:

Trifluoroacetic acid → C₂HF₃O₂

Molar mass = Mass of C . 2 + Mass of H + Mass of F . 3 + Mass of O .2

Molar mass = 12 . 2 + 1 . 1 + 19 . 3 + 16 . 2 = 114 g /mol

1 mol of C₂HF₃O₂ has:

2 moles of C

1 mol of H

3 moles of F

2 moles of O

If we state the relation in mass by g we say:

114 g of  C₂HF₃O₂ have 24g of C, 1 g of H, 57 g of F and 32 g of O

Let's make a rule of three:

32 g of O are contained in 114 g of  C₂HF₃O₂

38.9 g of O may be contained in (38.9 . 114) / 32 = 138.6 g
