Genetic engineering can be used to create more productive strains of farm animals. By adding genes to an animal’s DNA, the anima

l can be made to produce milk or meat containing vital nutrients that would not be found naturally in those products. This provides a greater amount of nutrients per serving of milk or meat. Do you think that this type of genetic engineering should be pursued? Explain your answer. What are some possible impacts (positive and negative) of this type of genetic engineering on individuals, society, and the environment?

Genetic engineering is the direct treatment of an organism’s genome using biotechnology. It is a set of technologies used to alter the genetic makeup of cells, together with the transport of genes within and across species boundaries to produce improved organisms. An example would be to protect plant from insect damage, it can be made into a transgenic plant. Transgenic plant are called genetically modified organisms (GMO) because there is a gene added or removed in the original plant to obtain a set of characteristic such as insect damage.

Suppose that in another world, DNA does not undergo semiconservative replication, but instead a conservative mechanism is used.
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

c. ¼ heavy, ¾ light

Explanation:

DNA replication follows semi conservative model which means that both the strands separate during replication and the newly formed DNA molecule has one old and one new strand. If instead of semi conservative, conservative mechanism is used, old strands will not separate from each other and the two newly synthesised DNA strands will come together to form a DNA molecule.

Here the cells were first grown in heavy 15N medium so all the DNA molecules had 15N and thus were heavy. Then the cells were transferred to 14N medium where only lighter 14N were available for replication process.

In first generation, 14N DNA molecules were synthesised from 15N DNA molecules so 1/2 DNA molecules were 15N and other half were 14N. In the second generation, 14N molecules will give rise to new 14N molecules and 15N molecules will also give rise to 14N molecules hence 1/4 molecules will be 15N (heavy) and 3/4 will be 14N (light).

when algae lives on a slth it is consirered a mutual symbiotic relationship. why is this an exampkle of mutualism
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Algae living on a sloth is considered an example of mutualism because both of them benefit from each other.

Mutualism is one of the symbiotic relationships in which both the two species living together benefit in one way or another. A considerable example of such a relationship is between algae and a sloth.

The algae provide camouflage to the sloth and protect it from predators while the sloth provides shelter to the algae for its growth. The sloth also gets nutrition from algae which perform photosynthesis and synthesize food.

Another mutual relationship is observed between the aphids and ants. Aphids produce honeydew as a waste product of their diet which is consumed by ants. While ants protect the aphids from predators and parasites.

To know more about mutualism, refer to the following link:
