What two concerns most likely led scientists to develop an omega-3 pig?

Biology
1 answer:
Charra [1.4K]3 years ago
7 0

Today’s food consumption (includes high consumption of pork) had led to an increase in the omega-6 (n-6) to omega-3 (n-3) fatty acid ratio in humans. This imbalance in the fatty acids ratio has been associated with diseases such as cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases, diabetes and autoimmune disorders. So, scientist “created” transgenic pigs that produce omega-3 fatty acids, in order to improve heart function and help reduce the risks for heart disease.

Where near your home do you think the highest level of photosynthesis is happening?
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

I live in a rural area which is surrounded by mountains and valleys. Near my home there is small forest area where there are hundreds of thick tall forests, algae and many other photosynthetic plants.

The atmosphere of that forest is very clean and refreshing because there is alot of oxygen being produced there due to alot of photosynthesis being done by all the lush green plants there.

Due to photosynthesis, carbon di oxide that is an environmental pollutant is maximum used by the plants and maximum. Oxygen is produced as a result of photosynthesis.

This causes the environment of not only that forest but my whole village very clean and fresh to breath. We are living a healthy life where there is a less prevalence of diseases or infections that are caused by environmental pollutants like Bronchitis, Lungs infection, neural disorders etc.

Therefore, even if there is not such an area near your home, we would suggest you to plant more trees in your backyard that will make the environment of not only your home but your area very fresh and clean.


Hope it help!

Alveolar type ________ (VIII) cells are responsible for producing surfactant
lord [1]

Answer:

Type II cells

Explanation:

Type II alveolar cells are the round-shaped or cuboidal epithelial cells. These cells have a free surface with microvilli. The function of the type II alveolar cells is to secrete the alveolar fluid to keep the surface of the cells moist.

A mixture of phospholipids and lipoproteins is present in the alveolar fluid that serves as surfactant and reduces the surface tension of the alveolar fluid. The overall effect of the presence of surfactant in alveolar fluid is to protect the alveoli against collapsing during exhalation.

Artyom0805 [142]
The answer is rr because if it were "Rr" it would be round. Dominant always exceeds the recessive. so if both traits were recessive, it would be recessive. so "rr" is your answer
