Examples of 3 types of marine organisms that have been genetically engineered

Biology
1 answer:
Delvig [45]4 years ago
7 0

Three examples of marine genetically engineered organisms are:

1. AquAdvantage salmon  is genetically engineered Atlantic salmon modified in order to achieve fast growth. A growth hormone-regulating gene of Pacific salmon is introduced in the genome of Atlantic salmon.

2. Grass carp was also modified by scientist in order to enhance its protection from contagious diseases. It has been modified with a transgene coding for lactoferrin (antibacterial function). So, the, survival rate of the modified Grass carp was doubled comparing to nonmodifeied fish.

3. Zebrafish is the most commonly used for modification because it has 1-cell embryo, with clear chorion so it is easy to be micro-injected with transgenic DNA.

which structure in the female reproductive system is comparable to the external reproductive organs in males
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
They are the same in that most of the reproductive organs of both sexes develop from similar embryonic tissue, meaning they are homologous. Both systems have gonads (male have testes and female have ovaries) that produce gametes (testes produce sperm and ovaries produce egg or ovum) and sex organs.

Write a paragraph about why stem cells are a bad thing.PLZ NO PLADURISM
sdas [7]
Stem cells are very controversial for several reasons. Mainly, because stem cells need to be harvested from Embryos, which raises a huge ethical debate as to weather the (scientifically speaking, alive) embryo harvesting is not cruel and twisted, as these are human beings that are being used. Another ethical issue is that it is related to human cloning, and often times stem cells are mislabeled. Not to mention that there is an argument for the idea of cloning humans to be used for limb replacement, throwing everybody in a tizzy. Overall, one of the greatest medical acheivements of recent years has lots of issues that haunt it.

25%,1:3 This is due to the heterozygous condition to produce on homozygous long and one homozygous short then two heterozygous short.ie 1:2:1,but short is dominant and heterozygous short ate taken to be short ,thus modifying the ratio to 1:3,1:3 is 25%:75%.therefore homozygous long is 25%.
