Answer:

1: the exploitation of biological processes for industrial and other purposes, especially the genetic manipulation of microorganisms for the production of antibiotics, hormones, etc.

2: Genetic engineering, the artificial manipulation, modification, and recombination of DNA or other nucleic acid molecules in order to modify an organism or population of organisms.

3: Genetically Modified Organisms

4: Selective breeding is a form of genetic modification which doesn't involve the addition of any foreign genetic material (DNA) into the organism. Rather, it is the conscious selection for desirable traits.

5:Selective breeding (also called artificial selection) is the process by which humans use animal breeding and plant breeding to selectively develop particular phenotypic traits (characteristics) by choosing which typically animal or plant males and females will sexually reproduce and have offspring together.

6:The use of genetic engineering and the creation of genetically modified crops has resulted in many benefits for the agricultural world. ... By modifying crops so that they are resistant to diseases and insects, less chemical pesticides have to be used to combat diseases and pests.

7:It is known that the main concerns about adverse effects of GM foods on health are the transfer of antibiotic resistance, toxicity and allergenicity. There are two issues from an allergic standpoint.

2) The process of making changes in the DNA code of living organism is called

3) Genetically Modified Organism

4) True

5) Genetic Selection or Artificial Selection

6) By modifying crops so that they are resistant to disease and insects, less chemical pesticides have to be used to combat disease and pests

7) The consumers are mainly concerned about the long term human health effects of the bio-tech crops such as antibiotic resistance, aller-genicity, unnatural nutritional changes and toxicity. Agri-biotech companies and their affiliated scientists present GM food as an environmentally friendly crop.

8) I think that is very good for the environment and for human health because this is going to reduce the use of chemical pesticides on agriculture and GM food would be friendly crop

forsale [732]

Answer:

The correct answer is - regulation of the heavy metal and their toxicity.

Explanation:

Metallothionein is a group of cysteine-rich, small in size, and highly conserved proteins that bind to various metal ions and regulate their activity or toxicity in transcriptional level.

Metallothionein IIA is one of the metallothioneins that binds to heavy metal and helps cells to be protected from the toxicity of these heavy metals. These proteins are present in almost every eukaryotic organisms virtually. These proteins are highly induced to express highly in the present of heavy metals.

Thus, the correct answer is - regulation of the heavy metal and their toxicity.

pentagon [3]

Answer:

This question is asking to identify the molecule being described.

The molecule is GLUCOSE

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants make their food using energy from sunlight. This food, which happens to be the product of the photosynthetic process is GLUCOSE molecule. Glucose is the source of energy during cellular respiration for plants and animals as it is broken down to synthesize ATP.

The process of cellular respiration, which is carried out by virtually all living organisms make use of the GLUCOSE MOLECULE. The energy stored in the glucose molecule is converted to ATP in the mitochondria.

What episode wiped out many insect species in the world?
igomit [66]
The answer is Permian-Triassic extinction.

The Permian-Triassic extinction was 252 million years ago. It is known as The Great Dying because about 95% of all species died out due to environmental changes (volcanic eruptions, dry climate, melting of ice sheets, etc). This is also the only event in which many insect species wiped out.
