We will attempt to introduce a gene responsible for the resistance to the antibiotic ampicillin. 
Bacterial transformation is a molecular technique widely used in genetic engineering. Its basis involves the introduction of a foreign DNA into a host organism. This will result in the expression of a foreign gene by the host bacterium. In this example, our host organism is a bacterium who is sensitive to the antibiotic ampicillin. By introducing a gene for resistance to this antibiotic, the bacterium will become ampicillin resistant.

consuming high levels of provitamin a carotenoids, which come from plant sources, does not lead to vitamin a toxicity.
Feliz [49]

Consuming high levels of pro vitamin A carotenoid, which come from plant sources, does not lead to vitamin A toxicity. This statement is true.

Vitamin A is obtained mainly from the food products we eat, but it is also synthesized in our body via pro vitamin A carotenoids like beta-carotene. When high amounts of pro vitamin A carotene are consumed in the diet of a person they are converted very slowly and naturally in our body into vitamin A in the intestine.

Vitamin A has many benefits including defense from pathogens, strengthening immune system, improving vision, and also improving overall growth and development of the body etc.
