Answer:
I'd say that the answer is 'd. Reduced profits for oil and gas companies'.
Here the genetic engineering using insulin gene is done.
<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>
Genetic engineering is the process by which an eukaryotic gene is isolated and is attached with a plasmid and inserted into the bacterial cells for the production of that protein and further utilisation of that protein. A plasmid is the extranuclear DNA that is present in some bacteria.
Here the insulin gene is isolated from the human cell, then it's attached with the bacterial plasmid and inserted in the fresh bacteria. This will lead to production of Insulin. This insulin is extracted, purified and can be used to treat diabetes mellitus. Thus, this is an example of Genetic Engineering.
Answer:
Technically C is not entirely correct. But the answer is probably D
Explanation:
Mutations that occur in gametes:
A. May be passed on to future generations
-Correct mutation in gametes(sex cells) can be passed onto future generation.
B. Can be important in the evolution of a species
-Yes, it can lead to different phenotype that may be important to evolution of a species.
C. Affect the functioning of the gene in which they occur
->it can affect the functioning of the gene, but it can be silent mutation or mutation in intron
D. All of these are correct.
