Answer:

Genetic engineering has multiple applications in different fields. Genetic engineering is the process by which alterations are made at the genetic level so that the final product is superior in quality and yield.

Explanation:

Following are few of it's applications:

<u>Medical field</u>- Genetic engineering is been used to produce insulin artificially, human growth hormones, anti hemophiliac factors, vaccines and other drugs.

<u>Agricultural industry</u>- It has been used to synthesize  improvised crops which give better yield and are pest resistant. E.g Flavr savr, a species of tomato which is more juicy and larger in size than regular tomatoes.

<u>Environment</u>- With the introduction of herbicide resistant corn, farmers reduced the use of tractors which in turn reduced the amount of greenhouse gases. Also, by imparting disease resistance to plants, a lot of plants are prevented from dying. In addition, the biodiversity of an area can be maintained.

1. Which blood types are dominant?
marishachu [46]

Answer: 1). A and B are both dominant (because A and B are codominant to one another)

2). E. All of the above

Explanation:

1). From the image above, A and B are both dominant because they are equally expressed when they occur in a pair (when they occur as blood type AB), also they are dominant because each of them expressed itself when it occurs in a pair with a recessive allele (IAi and IBi).

2). The children of a father with A blood and a mother with B blood will have all the four blood types: A, B, AB, and O. If each parent has a recessive allele, that is if each parent is heterozygous for his/her blood type (IAi for the father and IBi for the mother), the cross between them will produce all the four possible blood types.

See the attached punnet square for more information.

A patient breaks a leg. predict which model a doctor will use to show where the break is
VMariaS [17]

A doctor can use a 2D image model to show where the break is.

When a patient breaks a leg (the break could be as a result of fracture or bone dislocation), the doctor needs to scan the patient in order to determine the exact location of the break and the extent of the injury.

The gamma camera, x-ray machine and PET scanners are some of the devices that can be used to scan a bone.

Each of these devices uses 2D image technology to show the result of the scan.

So, a model that can be used by a doctor to determine the location of the break is 2D image.

Heat Transfer discussion based question
lilavasa [31]

Answer: Thermal energy flows from a warmer material to a cooler material.  When thermal energy is transferred to a material, the motion of its particles speeds up and its temperature increases. There are three ways heat is transferred into and through the atmosphere: Radiation, conduction and convection.

Radiation is when energy, in the form of electromagnetic radiation, is emitted by a heated surface in all directions and travels directly to its point of absorption at the speed of light; thermal radiation does not require an intervening medium to carry it. Conduction is the process by which heat energy is transmitted through collisions between neighboring atoms or molecules. Convection is heat transfer by mass motion of a fluid such as air or water when the heated fluid is caused to move away from the source of heat, carrying energy with it.

What travels through a food chain or web?
Inessa05 [86]
Energy travels through a food chain/web. When an organism eats another organism, the energy from the food is passed to the eater. For example, we humans eat food to give ourselves enough calories (energy) to function properly.
