Answer:

The answer is C, 40,000.

Explanation:

You can obviously tell that 400 is too low... that's one meal for all of the turtles! They would need 40,000 minnows because it's a stable number. They can reproduce, and keep the population up. 4,000, though, is too low because they wouldn't have enough time to reproduce and continue to keep the population alive. Therefore, 40,000 should be a stable population.

Which is the role of restriction enzymes?
dezoksy [38]
Restriction enzymes and or restriction endonucleases are involved at recognizing specific sequence of nucleotides and cutting or splicing them at appropriate regions to produce fragments that can either be sticky ends or blunt ends depending on where they cut and the nature of nucleotides involved within the fragments. They play an important role in genetic engineering, as geneticists can use them for placing into extra chromosomal information and or content of plasmids in certain bacteria, from other sources, for instance antibiotics, grow and or produce many individual colonies of bacteria, isolate them and one would have many sequences for instance that can code for an antibiotic that can be extracted and used further. Assuming the bacteria's plasmid can take in that sequence.
