Answer: Ammonia

E. coli is a type of bacteria that lives in the intestines of humans and animals. Some types of E. coli are harmless while some types can make you ill. Meat becomes contaminated during slaughter when infected animal intestines or feces come in contact with the meat.

To prevent E. coli contamination, ammonia is being used in some meat fillers. Although ammonia is not regarded as a disinfectant, it is an eco-friendly cleaning solution than other chemical-based products

Ammonia is used as an additive in some meat fillers to prevent E. coli contamination. Ammonia is a colorless, pungent gas which is made up of nitrogen and hydrogen. Ammonium hydroxide (ammonia mixed with water) is used as an antimicrobial to control food pathogens, such as E. coli and salmonella which may be present in beef. Ammonium hydroxide damages these organisms and lowers the acidity of meats, making it difficult for these pathogens to survive.

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The correct option is: e. Germline gene therapy

Explanation:

The germline gene therapy, GGT is the modification of the germ cells. In this therapy, a functional gene is introduced into the genomes of the gametes. Such a modification of the germ cell results in all the cells of the organisms to get modified. This change can therefore be passed on to the next generations. Many countries such as Canada, Germany and Switzerland, have prohibited the use of the germline gene therapy on humans.
