Answer:

Electrical gradient.

Explanation:

Ions DO NOT move in Ion channels by simple diffusion because most ion channels can be:

I) selective of ions pass through it.

II) operating on a "open and close" principle. Where it opens or close on its own accord OR does so ONLY when induced by a specific influence like change in voltage of ion channels.

IN ADDITION to the concentration gradient, ELECTRICAL GRADIENTS (change in membrane voltage) affects the movement of ions through ion channels

Recombinant DNA (rDNA) _____.
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

combines genes from organisms of different species in a lab

Explanation:

Recombinant DNA technology involves the process of joining the genes (DNA) of different multiple species in order to insert into another organism (host). Recombinant DNA technology has many applications in genetic engineering.

One example of Recombinant DNA is the synthesis of Insulin in bacteria cell where a human insulin gene is first inserted into a plasmid vector, then inserted into a bacterial cell that uses its expression abilities to transcribe and translate the gene into INSULIN protein.

This procedure is usually conducted in a laboratory with the use of certain laboratory equipments.
