Answer:
B. a decrease in the number of pathogens in the body
Explanation:
White blood cell includes immune cell like monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, etc. These cells are responsible for fighting with the pathogens or foreign molecules and eliminate them from the body.
So when any pathogens get enter in the body these cell kills those pathogen and protect us from them. Therefore the decrease in the number of pathogens in the body is a direct indication that the white blood cells in the body are working. So the right answer is B.
Answer:
All the offspring have genotype RrTt
Phenotype is Pink and tall snapdragon
Explanation:
Given
Tallness ( T) is dominant to dwarfness (t)
Red (R) flower color is dominant to white (r)
It is given that heterozygous condition results in pink (Rr) flower color which means that the allels for color of flower show co dominance
Genotype of dwarf red snapdragon is RRtt
Genotype of a plant homozygous for tallness and white flowers is rrTT
The punnet square representing the cross between RRtt and rrTT is as given below-
Rt Rt Rt Rt
rT RrTt RrTt RrTt RrTt
rT RrTt RrTt RrTt RrTt
rT RrTt RrTt RrTt RrTt
rT RrTt RrTt RrTt RrTt
Thus all the offspring have genotype RrTt
Phenotype is Pink and tall snapdragon
In animals, a gene is inserted into an embryo, modifying the genome to manufacture the product of this new gene. In plants, a gene is injected into a single cell that is grown from a seed into a plant. This plant expresses the new gene in all its cells. The difference between GM and selective breeding.
Answer:
1. the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering methods. In most cases, the aim is to introduce a new trait to the plant which does not occur naturally in the species.
2. GM crops are made through a process known as genetic engineering. Genes of commercial interest are transferred from one organism to another. Two primary methods currently exist for introducing transgenes into plant genomes. The first involves a device called a 'gene gun'.
3. Crops do not damage the environment simply because they are GM. Some farming practices, such as the overuse of herbicides resulting in the excessive eradication of wild plants from farmland have been shown to harm the environment. These problems are similar for non-GM and GM crops.
