Answer:

Transgenic plants are plants that have been genetically engineered, a breeding approach that uses recombinant DNA techniques to create plants with new characteristics. They are identified as a class of genetically modified organism (GMO).

Selective breeding involves choosing parents with particular characteristics to breed together and produce offspring with more desirable characteristics.

Explanation:

Using the definitions giving, so the difference would be that in transgenic plants they are created using DNA techniques such as electroporation, wherehas in selective breeding the plant is grown from naturally grown parent plants that are chosen through selection based on their superior character traits.

Hope this helps!!

  <span>In transcription, the enzyme that makes the RNA transcript must bind to the promoter region of the DNA before it starts making an RNA transcript. RNA nucleotides will be covalently linked together as the RNA transcript is made. The RNA transcript (also known as pre-mRNA) will be completed when the RNA polymerase reaches the terminator region. After the RNA transcript is released from the RNA polymerase, it will undergo several steps of processing, one of which involves the removal of introns</span>

How does natural selection work regarding individuals and populations regarding which will be most successful?
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Natural selection doesn't really choose what animal/species is going to survive it's all based on the environment they live in. While a blue bird does well in the jungle it may not do well in the desert. For individuals it's based on their genes and genetics. Some are more prone to have a trail that doesn't benefit them and in fact, harms them in their environment. For populations you will see lots of the same animals but with different traits so some may do better in the wild than others because of those traits. A population is more likely to be successful because you do better when working with others. So animals have a better chance to survive if there is more diversity.

What are the chances of the mating of two pink four-o-clock flowers producing all pink offspring?
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

100%

Explanation

If the two flowers both have same traits, for example pink and pink, the offspring will be pink. The only rare chance of this not being true is a mutation, but I assume that's excluded.
