The correct answer is B. Vitamin A.

Vitamin A (retinol, retinoic acid) is a fat-soluble vitamin important for vision, growth, cell division, reproduction and immunity. It also has antioxidant properties.

Vitamin A is present in many foods, such as spinach, dairy products and liver. Other sources are foods rich in beta-carotene, such as leafy vegetables, carrots and cantaloupe. Your body transforms beta-carotene into vitamin A.

There are two dofferent types of vitamin A. The first type, preformed vitamin A, it is found in beef, poultry, fish and dairy products. The second type, provitamin A, is found in fruits,vegetables and other products of vegetable origin. The most common type of provitamin A present in foods and dietary supplements is beta-carotene.

Not consuming enough vitamin A, can cause diseases (which can be avioded with a good diet). Vitamin A plays a very important role in vision. On the one hand, it is essential for the production of the pigment consumed by photoreceptors responsible for vision in darkness. Therefore, low levels of vitamin A lead to night blindness.

Answer:

C. a string of nucleotides that can be used as a template to produce a RNA that codes for a protein.

Explanation:

A gene is a specific sequence of DNA containing genetic information required to make a specific protien and  is a string of nucleotides (DNA in cells) that can be used as a template to produce a RNA (by transcription) that codes for a protein. The produced RNA might be the end product (for example some transfer RNA's) or might be further translated into a protein. An organism's entire complement of DNA is its genome.

What are they five steps of cloning?
Luda [366]

Hi

Below are five major steps of DNA or gene cloning:

1: You chose the gene or specific piece of DNA you need to clone and cut the gene with restriction enzymes from the source organism.

2: You need to choose a vector for the process of cloning and you will cut the vector with same restriction enzymes through which you have cut your target DNA sequence to be inserted into the vector.

3: You place the target gene into the vector and join or seal the gene with vector by using an enzyme called DNA ligase.

4: You introduce the vector with your target gene into a suitable host organism such as yeast or bacteria through the process of Transformation. In this process host organism takes up the vector containing your target gene and starts replicating the target DNA along with their own DNA and thus creating millions of copies of target gene .

5: In the last step, the DNA or target gene is isolated from host organism and purified and is ready to be used since its quantity has been enormously increased through the process of cloning.

The cloning is also called as recombinant DNA technology and is the main process that is being used in the production of insulin for diabetes patients. You can see below image for better understanding.

Hope it help!
