rjkz [21]3 years ago
7 0

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.

Answer:

1) The exploitation of biological process for industrial and other purposes, especially the genetic manipulation of microorganisms for the production of antibiotics, hormones, etc

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

Explain macromolecules and their functions
Naddik [55]
A macromolecule is a very large molecule, such as protein, commonly created by polymerization of smaller subunits (monomers). They are typically composed of thousands of atoms or more. The most common macromolecules in biochemistry are biopolymers and large non-polymeric molecules. :D

Details the structure and function of a eukaryotic cell
Wittaler [7]
Answer:

Structure and function of eukaryotic cell


Eukaryotes have following promint components of cell

1. True nucleus:
The nucleus is surrounded by a true membrane called nucleoplasm. Nucleus contain hereditary materials, DNA which control inheritance. It also contain RNA synthesize in nucleolus.

2. Cell wall:
It is present only in plant cell, and contain cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, suberin etc. It provides mechanical support to plants.

3. Cell membrane:
It is present both in plants and animal cells. It is made from protein, lipids and carbohydrates. It acts as selective permeable membrane and control the movement of molecules in and out of the cell.

4. Mitochondria and chloroplast:
Chloroplast is present only in plant cell. It contains chlorophyll which aid in photosynthesis and prepare glucose.
Mitochondria is present in all eukaryotic cells.cellular respiration occurs in mitochondria and ATP is formed by the break down of glucose.

5. Endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus:
Endomembrane system of eukaryotic cell is made from a network of tube and sacks connected together forming endoplasmic reticulum and golgi apparatus independently. Endoplasmic reticulum may have attached ribosomes or not and is involved in protein synthesis, while golgi apparatus help in modification, packaging, and transport of proteins through out the cell.
Lysosomes, cytoskeleton, vacoules, peroxisomes, glyoxisomes and other organelles are also present in eukaryotic cell.
