One can isolate the gene for human insulin from human cells, and put that gene into a plasmid (small circular DNA molecule). That plasmid is then put into bacterial cells, and the bacteria produce insulin as coded for by the human gene. It is necessary to include the neccessary bacterial promoters etc, so that the cell can actually read the DNA message, but because the genetic code and the language of codon/anticodon/mRNA/tRNA etc. is universal, a gene in one organism is readable by another organism.

Explanation:

A gene from one organism can be expressed in another, because the size and structure of all genes is exactly the same (of course, the code is different). Scientists insert a gene from organism “A” into the gene of organism “B”. They do this by first cutting the gene of organism “B”, and inserting gene “A”. Then, (this wasn’t in the lesson. I’m just guessing) certain proteins inorganism “B”, which are responsible for gene repair, connect gene “A” to genes “B” properly. When it is time for transcription to take place, the enzyme/proteins read the new DNA also, including it in the RNA sequence

The correct answer would be D.

After many generations, only those with genes suitable to live in harsh environments can live. These genes are passed onto their offspring and then we see a rise in antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria such as Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA).

arlik [135]

Answer:

Chloroplast

Explanation:

Chloroplasts are organelles found in green plants. They are the sites of photosynthesis. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, a photosynthetic pigment that traps light energy. This energy is used to power a series of reactions that convert water and carbon dioxide into sugars.

Pairs of Unit Factors, or Genes

Mendel proposed that paired unit factors of heredity were transmitted faithfully from generation to generation by the dissociation and reassociation of paired factors during gametogenesis and fertilization, respectively. After he crossed peas with contrasting traits and found that the recessive trait resurfaced in the F2 generation, Mendel deduced that hereditary factors must be inherited as discrete units. This finding contradicted the belief at that time that parental traits were blended in the offspring.

A gene is made up of short sections of DNA that are contained on a chromosome within the nucleus of a cell. Genes control the development and function of all organs and all working systems in the body. A gene has a certain influence on how the cell works; the same gene in many different cells determines a certain physical or biochemical feature of the whole body (e.g., eye color or reproductive functions). All human cells hold approximately 21,000 different genes.

Genetics is the science of the way traits are passed from parent to offspring. For all forms of life, continuity of the species depends upon the genetic code being passed from parent to offspring. Evolution by natural selection is dependent on traits being heritable. Genetics is very important in human physiology because all attributes of the human body are affected by a person’s genetic code. It can be as simple as eye color, height, or hair color. Or it can be as complex as how well your liver processes toxins, whether you will be prone to heart disease or breast cancer, and whether you will be color
