What dies survivor ship curve mean? What an easy way to remember what it means?
vredina [299]
Survivorship curve = so, first of all, it's a curve, as in a graph.

It describes "survivorship" - the rate of survival, in other words: out of 100 organisms that are born, how many survive. This rate is different among species, for example, most humans live out to most of their life span, and almost all can survive well beyond a reproductive age.

However, in frogs for example, many many individuals are born, but only few can survive to adulthood: most die very young, before reproductive age.

So if you hear about a new species: let's say dogs, and you want to know how long they would live, you would look at their sirvivorship curve (and in some breeds of dogs, those that are likely not to be in shelters, but in homes, the survivorship curve would be similar as in humans: almost all individuals born can live long.

Bacteria is a prime candidate for genetic engineering because of its ___________ and ____________?
N76 [4]

The given blanks can be filled with the ability to take up foreign DNA and express proteins faster.  

The direct manipulation of the genes of an organism with the application of biotechnology is known as genetic engineering. It is an array of technologies that are utilized to modify the genetic make-up of an organism, involving the transfer of genes across and within the boundaries of the species to generate novel or bettered organisms.  

In genetic engineering, bacteria play a key role, as it is an essential tool for natural scientists. The genes and other genetic information from a broad array of species can be administered into bacteria for modification and storage, thus producing genetically modified bacteria in the procedure.  

The bacteria possess the tendency to take up foreign DNA and expresses the desired proteins at a faster rate.
