Answer:

b. hypothalamus

Explanation:

The hypothalamus is a small portion at the center of the brain that is formed by several nuclear bodies. The hypothalamus is the part of the brain that links the nervous system to the endocrine system. The hypothalamus is responsible for important functions such as release of hormones, homeostasis, controlling appetite, sexual behavior, controlling emotion.

Several factors can impair the proper functions of the hypothalamus, they include infection, head trauma as well as brain tumors.

Elaina’s brain tumor most likely must have affected the functioning of the hypothalamus.

8. Genetic engineering has directly increased productivity in which<br><br> U.S. industry?
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Agriculture  

Explanation:

Genetic engineering can be defined as the use of genetic techniques aimed at modifying the genome of living organisms, thereby being used to develop Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). In the USA, genetic engineering methodologies have been used in agriculture to improve crop yields and reduce costs (for example, by reducing the need to use pesticides). Some of the most important genetic engineering techniques that nowadays are being used in agriculture research include biolistic transformation, <em>Agrobacterium</em>-mediated transformation, the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing system, etc.

What happens when the parasympathetic nervous system is activated
kolezko [41]

Answer:

Body functions stimulated by the parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) include sexual arousal, salivation, lacrimation, urination, digestion, and defecation. The PSNS primarily uses acetylcholine as its neurotransmitter. Peptides (such as cholecystokinin) may also act on the PSNS as neurotransmitters. The parasympathetic nervous system is composed mainly of the cranial and sacral spinal nerves.

To help sort out those bacteria that have the vgp gene, scientists first attempt to grow the bacteria both in a medium with ampi
ella [17]
Bacteria with no plasmid will ONLY grow in medium without ampicillin. This is because bacteria without any plasmid do not have the gene for ampicillin resistance (ampR). Therefore they can only survive and grow in medium without ampicillin.
Bacteria with nonrecombinant plasmid will grow in both media.According to the image, this type of bacteria has the gene for ampicillin resistance (ampR) in their plasmid. Therefore, they are not affected by the presence of ampicillin in their environment and they can grow in both media.
Bacteria with recombinant plasmid but no vgp gene will grow in both media. These bacteria also have the gene for ampicillin resistance in their plasmid, therefore they can survive and grow in both media.
Bacteria with recombinant plasmid with vgp gene will grow in both media. These bacteria, apart from having the vgp gene in their plasmid, they also have the gene for ampicillin resistance. The vgp gene does not affect the expression of the ampR gene, therefore these bacteria are also ampicillin resistant.
