It needs a C) host cell in order to reproduce
The Hardy – Weinberg principle
has seven conditions that should occur in the evolution of the population. One
is when mutation does not happen. Two, is when natural selection is not
occurring. Three, if the population is infinitely large. Four, if all the
members of the population produce offspring.
Five, sexual intercourse is random. Six, the population will produce the
same number of offspring. And lastly, the population does not migrate from one
place into the other. The thing that would disrupt the genetic equilibrium is
the mutation.
Answer:
a. an example of a transgenic tomato (also called GMO tomato)
Explanation:
Genetic modification is the process by which an organim's genome is manipulated in order to achieve a desirable feature in such organism. Also called genetic engineering, genetic modification involves using biotechnology to alter an organims genetic composition. The organism whose genome is manipulated is called GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISM (GMO) or TRANSGENIC ORGANISM.
In this case, a tomato with a gene from a fish that helps the tomato resist frost damage is said to be an example of GMO or transgenic organism because the genome of the tomato plant has been manipulated by inserting a desirable gene (resistance to frost) into it.
