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).

Answer;

Natural disasters can cause billions of dollars in property damage.

Explanation;

-Natural disasters are disasters that are caused by nature, not by human. they include; Earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, volcano eruptions, floods, wildfires, etc. Natural disasters can cause billions of dollars in property damage. Systems are unbalanced by the damage caused by natural disasters. The social infrastructure of a community includes social assets such as schools, hospitals, prisons and community housing. Such places are damaged in natural disaster, adversely affecting the community.

Describe the effect of amanitin on the maximum elongation rate for the wild-type and modified RNA polymerases. Determine the rat
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Average max. elongation rate = modified RNA pol./ wild type RNA pol = 2/12 = 0.166 nucleotides per sec.

Explanation:

After treating the wild type and experimental RNA with amanitin solution, the amanitin actively binds to the active site of wild type RNA polymerase, inhibiting addition of nucleotides and also it interferes with the motility of RNA pol. along the DNA template, due to which their is a sharp decline in maximum elongation rate of mRNA. In case of experimental RNA polymerase, due to single base substitution the experimental strain is already having very low elongation rate, but binding of amanitin causes constraint on the motility of RNA polymerase through the DNA template, thereby decreasing the elongation rate. Average max. elongation rate = modified RNA pol./ wild type RNA pol = 2/12 = 0.166 nucleotides per sec.
