Which of these would be considered a transgenic organism? a human treated with insulin produced by E. coli bacteria a rat with r
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

a rat with rabbit hemoglobin genes

Explanation:

When the genome of an organism is modified in the field of genetic engineering,by transplanting the gene(DNA) from one organisms to another,(by vectors) or alteration of the gene components,the resulting organism produced or formed is called Transgenic organism.

This process of genetic engineering makes use of recombination of genes to alter the genome of the transgenic organism.

Thus by transferring to  rat ( the DNA for Hb) as the  rabbit Hb,the gene( or genome) for producing Hb in tats has been modified by that of rabbit.Hence Rat is said to transgenic.

Besides animals crop plants are also genetically modified.Thus the genome of some crops are altered to resist herbicides and pesticides. Some species of rice (golden rice)have been  modified to  add certain  vitamins to improve the nutritional values.

Genetically modified bananas as edible vaccines are another example

arlik [135]

Answer:

Water, carbon dioxide, and oxygen are among the few simple molecules that can cross the cell membrane by diffusion (or a type of diffusion known as osmosis ). Diffusion is one principle method of movement of substances within cells, as well as the method for essential small molecules to cross the cell membrane.

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

1.

Explanation:

Xylem cell is a plant vascular tissue that conveys water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant and also provides physical support. Xylem tissue consists of a variety of specialized, water-conducting cells known as tracheary elements.

2. Phloem is the vascular tissue in charge of the transport and distribution of organic nutrients. The phloem is also a pathway to signaling molecules and has a structural function in the plant body.

3. Stomata are composed of a pair of specialized epidermal cells referred to as guard cells. Stomata regulate gas exchange between the plant and environment and control water loss by changing the size of the stomatal pore.

4. Guard cells optimize leaf gas exchange in response to changing environmental conditions and their turgor is controlled by alterations in atmospheric CO2 concentration, light intensity, humidity, and the drought hormone abscisic acid.

A couple has just learned their neonate is diagnosed with osteogenesis imperfecta, and they
malfutka [58]

Answer:

osteogenesis imperfecta is an inherited genetic disease that mainly affects the bones.  

Explanation:

Osteogenesis imperfecta is an inherited genetic disease associated with alterations in collagen synthesis, which have been shown to increase the risk to suffer bone fractures. This genetic disorder is characterized by different health problems including, among others, fragile bones, reduced skeletal mass, skin hyperlaxity, malformations in the central nervous system, etc. Clinically, osteogenesis imperfecta must be managed by an interdisciplinary medical team, since patients may present a clinical picture ranging from mild to lethal. In the first place, it is imperative to provide health care to avoid fractures, exercises to maintain muscle mass, exercise to improve motor skills, skincare by specialized dermatologists, etc.
