How do scientists use recombinant DNA technology to produce the drug insulin.

Biology
1 answer:
Dvinal [7]3 years ago
3 0
Since diabetics are not able to make enough insulin, scientists use gene engineering to make it for them. they insert the gene that codes for the production of insulin in the plasmid (circular DNA of bacteria ) to create recombinent DNA, and the bacteria will asexually reproduce, making more and more of the insulin in a short amount of time! hope this helped it took me a long time to understand the whole process in this unit!

Describe how scientists think the Earth was formed
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

The Big Bang THEORY

Explanation:

They think an explosion occurred in space to create collisions between molecules. These collisions created the planets and life as we know it. They don't know where these molecules came from and it's never been proven, which completely debunks this theory for me.

Black eyes are dominant to orange eyes, and green skin is dominant to white skin. Sam, a MendAlien with black eyes and green ski
Anna [14]
<h2>The correct answer is explained below:</h2>

Explanation:

  • According to the given question,
  • For eye color, let the black color be represented by B allele and orange color be represented by b allele. Black is dominant over orange.
  • For skin color, let the green skin be represented by G allele and white skin be represented by g allele. Green is dominant over white.
  • The phenotype of Sam is black eyes and green skin so his genotype can be BBGG or BbGg. It is also said that one of his parents has phenotype orange eyes and white skin. That parent's genotype must be bbgg.
  • Hence, the genotype of Sam must be BbGg.
  • Carole has the phenotype of orange eyes and white skin. Her genotype would bbgg.
  • The gametes produced by Sam are: BG, Bg, bG, bg.
  • The gametes produced by Carole are: bg.
  • Mating them we get,

           BG                    Bg                   bG                       bg

bg      BbGg               Bbgg               bbGg                   bbgg

  (Black/ Green) (Black/ White) (Orange/Green)  (Orange/ White)

  • The genotypes and phenotypes (Eye color/ Skin color) obtained are represented above.
  • The phenotypes (Eye color/ Skin color) obtained are in the following ratio:

(Black/ Green) : (Black/ White) : (Orange/Green) : (Orange/ White) = 1 : 1 : 1 : 1

The immune systems line of defense ______ includes the two types of immune response?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The immune system responds to antigens by producing cells that directly attack the pathogen, or by producing special proteins called antibodies.

Explanation:

Specific immune responses are triggered by antigens. Antigens are usually found on the surface of pathogens and are unique to that particular pathogen. The immune system responds to antigens by producing cells that directly attack the pathogen, or by producing special proteins called antibodies.
