Ans. Option (B).

In genetic engineering, a vector molecule can be defined as a molecule of DNA, which is used as a vehicle to artificially transport foreign gene or DNA material into another organism (host) or cell, where it can be copied or/and expressed.

To make a recombinant cell or organism, the target DNA is first isolated and then integrated with the vector molecule. The recombinant DNA (having target DNA) is then inserted to host organism where it makes its copies.

A well known example of vector molecule is plasmid DNA, found in many bacterial and some eukaryotic cells.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

Which shows the most direct path that carbon can take through the carbon cycle?
olasank [31]

Answer:

Atmosphere, plant, animals, fossil fuels.

Explanation:

Carbon Is the essential elements needed for life.

Carbon cycle is the movement of carbon from the atmosphere to the Earth.

Carbon move in the carbon cycle and start from the atmosphere.

In the atmosphere, carbon react with oxygen and it is inform of carbon dioxide. Plants use the carbondioxide along with water,and uses light energy from the sun to produce carbohydrates through a process of photosynthesis.

Animals get carbon from plants after consuming plants.

During respiration, carbon atoms are released to the atmosphere.

Some human activities like burning of fossil fuels releases carbon to the atmosphere.

Hello?? Can anyone help me??! PLEASE
kolezko [41]

Answer:

The temperature is staying the same. In the graph when it shows solid/liquid and liquid/gas, the temperature stays the same until it changes. This is because it reached it's melting point/vaporizing point. For example, a solid gets heated up, it then reaches it's melting point but it can't go higher than that because it isn't fully a liquid yet, once it's a liquid it will then continue to rise in temperature.

I don't think I put enough detail into that explanation but I hope this helps your problem.
