IV only

Plate IV will only have the trangenic E Coli hence will have the highest percentage of bacteria that are expected to produce insulin.

Explanation:

The transgenic <em>E. coli </em>will have taken up the plasmid with the insulin and <em>amp</em> genes hence they will be able to survive and grow in amplicilin antibiotic.

In plate IV, the wild type <em>E. coli</em> will be eliminated by the antibiotic (because they do not have the gene for resistance) hence providing no competition for resources, in the agar, with the transgenic <em>E coli</em>. This will ensure optimal growth for the transgenic <em>E coli</em> even, than in plate III, producing highest percentage of insulin.

Do prokaryotes form chromosomes before they divide? Explain
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The prokaryotic chromosome is a single DNA molecule that first replicates, then attaches each copy to a different part of the cell membrane. When the cell begins to pull apart, the replicate and original chromosomes are separated.

Briefly describe asexual reproduction in plants
AysviL [449]

Asexual reproduction requires only one parent. Since there is only one parent, there is no exchanging of genetic information, and the offspring are clones of the parent. Asexual reproduction in plants can occur in a variety of forms, including budding, vegetative propagation, and fragmentation. Let's discuss these reproduction types.

Have you ever found an old potato hidden in the back of a cabinet in your kitchen? If a potato sits around for a long time, it will have many small growths, commonly referred to as 'eyes'. Each of these sprouts can be cut from the potato and planted. They will grow into a clone of the original plant that produced the potato. This is a classic example of budding.

For an example of vegetative propagation, let's look at the strawberry plant. If you plant strawberries, you will notice that a row of plants will quickly spread into a large mass of plants. This is because they do a type of vegetative propagation by producing runners. Strawberry plants send out horizontal stems known as stolons. These stems will work their way into the ground in places and form roots, and eventually a new plant will grow.

A third type of asexual reproduction in plants is called fragmentation. This type of asexual reproduction is often used by nurseries and greenhouses to produce plants quickly. For many plants, a clone can be created by breaking off a portion of the stem and placing it in soil or water, depending on the plant. This also happens naturally when small parts of a plant fall off onto the soil and begin to grow into a new plant. An example of fragmentation occurs in liverwort plants, whose small stems or leaves are often broken off by animals or wind and then grow into clones of the parent plant when they land in the soil. I hope this helps

OLga [1]

Answer no 8:

The correct option is D) Antelopes with muscular legs are bale to outrun their predators better than antelopes with poor muscle tone. Thus they lived to reproduce.

Explanation:

Genetic variations in a population are the main reason that natural selection tends to occur. Natural selection favours those organisms which have better characteristics.The organisms with better traits are able to reproduce and pass on their characteristics to their offsprings.

Answer No 10:

The correct option is A) Phenotype directly influences the interaction of an organism with its environment.

Explanation:

The interactions between the phenotypic traits and the environment analyze whether a particular organism will be able to survive and pass on its characteristics to its offspring. Hence, the phenotype directly influences the interaction of an organism with its environment.

Answer No 9

The correct option is A) resistance to a virus

Explanation:

Mutations can be described as any changes which occur in the DNA of an organism. Mutations might be beneficial or harmful depending on the location where the mutation arises. Viruses are usually harmful for eukaryotes. Hence, the correct option is A.

Answer No 11:

The correct option is C) Giraffes with longer necks survived because they were better suited to the environment.

Explanation:

Natural selection tends to favour those organsims which are better suited to live in an environment. Those organisms with better characteristics are able to survive and pass on their traits to their offsprings.

The giraffes with longer necks were better adapted to live in the environment and hence were favoured by natural selection.

Answer No  12:

The correct option is D) selective breeding

Explanation:

Selective breeding can be described as a technique in which organisms with better characteristics are crossed, so that offsprings with better characteristics can be produced. Selective breeding is done by humans where as natural selection is done by the nature.
