The atmosphere
Is not a reservoir for phosphorus.
Nucleic acids also typically contain phosphorous, and nitrogen plays an important structural role in nucleic and proteins. The proteins, being made up a diverse set of amino acids, have, in addition to carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, the elements sulfur and selenium.
Sexual reproduction is one type of biological reproduction wherein the genitals of the male and female organisms engage into a sexual activity in order for the sperm cells to fertilize the egg cells of the females.
<span>In the case of most plants, they engage in asexual reproduction. </span>
Answer:
A DNA molecule produced by combining DNA from different sources is known as recombinant DNA.
Explanation:
Recombinant DNA (rDNA) can be obtained by coupling DNA fragments from different sources, a process that is performed at the restriction site level and uses enzymes.
Once rDNA has been designed —cutting out fragments of DNA that are then reassembled— it must be brought to a specific location in the cells, to be copied and expressed, using means of transport called vectors.
<u>DNA recombination</u> is performed in biotechnology laboratories specialized in the manipulation of genetic material.
The other options are not correct because:
- <u><em>Mutant or mutated DNA</em></u><em> is a DNA molecule with an alteration of its nitrogenous base sequence
</em>
- <u><em>Hybrid DNA</em></u><em> is a variant of recombiant DNA, in which only two DNA molecules from different sources are used.
</em>
- <u><em>Polyploid</em></u><em> refers to cells containing the genome of different species.</em>
