Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas is responsible for controlling the temperature of the Earth. It absorbs the infrared radiations emitted by Earth and then re emit it there by trapping the heat inside the Earth’s atmosphere and raising the temperature as a result of Green House Gas Effect. CO2 is responsible for making the Earth Warm and this produces adverse impacts on the biotic components of the Earth, causes the ice to melt and raise the sea level etc.

During which stage of a scientific investigation is data collected?

crimeas [40]

Answer: After the experiment in step 5

Explanation:

In a scientific investigation, first step is to formulate a question. Second step is to do background research. In third step after background research, a hypothesis is constructed. In order to test hypothesis, an experiment is designed and performed. In the fifth step, data is collected from the experiment and in the last step, conclusions are drawn from the collected data.

A DNA molecule produced by combining DNA from different sources is known as

Digiron [165]

Answer:

A DNA molecule produced by combining DNA from different sources is known as recombinant DNA.

Explanation:

Recombinant DNA (rDNA) can be obtained by coupling DNA fragments from different sources, a process that is performed at the restriction site level and uses enzymes.

Once rDNA has been designed —cutting out fragments of DNA that are then reassembled— it must be brought to a specific location in the cells, to be copied and expressed, using means of transport called vectors.

DNA recombination is performed in biotechnology laboratories specialized in the manipulation of genetic material.

The other options are not correct because:

Mutant or mutated DNA is a DNA molecule with an alteration of its nitrogenous base sequence
Hybrid DNA is a variant of recombiant DNA, in which only two DNA molecules from different sources are used.
Polyploid refers to cells containing the genome of different species.
