Answer: c)They are more expensive than potatoes without the vaccine.

A genetic engineering is a practice which is integral part of biotechnology which involves the genetic manipulation of organisms. In this the genome of organism is manipulated by incorporating the genome of the other organism, or some part of it is deleted so as to make organism resistance against diseases.

In the given situation, edible vaccines are incorporated in the potato plants, the vaccines are the chemical formulations which includes either the bacterial genome or some of it's agents which can fight against the one already present in the body causing diseases. This entire process requires an expensive  technological support as a consequences of which the quality as well as price of these potatoes will be high as compared to conventionally produced potatoes.

Answer is b). They make it easier to administer edible vaccines.

Plant derived edible vaccines dependent on the stability of plant food. Potato is not eaten raw and it needs to be cooked before eating. Cooking causes denaturation or weaken the protein present in it. Edible vaccine is more effective in plant food which eaten raw such as banana. An individual get protected from diseases by simply eating a fruit.

Answer:

The given blank can be filled with secondary succession.

Explanation:

In the given case, the events will lead to secondary succession. It is a kind of ecological succession in which the animals and plants get colonize again in habitat after a major disturbance like a devastating hurricane, wildfire, or human activities. The mentioned things can substantially change an area, however, has not entirely made it lifeless.

Secondary succession occurs in the area where the disturbance did not eradicate all the life and nutrients from the environment, that is, different from primary succession in which the development of biological community takes place where no life had prevailed before.

2. Name three process which move carbon from one reservoir to another, apart from to and from the
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

The three processes are:

  1. Cellular respiration
  2. Decomposition
  3. Fossilization

Explanation:

  • The process of cellular respiration, carried out by all living organisms, involves the catabolic break down and conversion of carbon containing molecules especially glucose (6-carbon) into ATP and energy yielding compounds such as NADH and FADH2. This energy helps drive cellular processes for daily bodily functions.
  • C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
  • Decomposition involves the conversion of living matter into simpler compounds by the action of special organisms called decomposers. This group principally includes bacteria and fungi. Bacteria and fungi degrade matter with the help of their enzymes and release nutrients into the soil. This process is a rich carbon and nutrient source for the plants and other soil borne organisms.
  • Fossilization is the process of preservation of living organisms in the form of rocks or sediments. Over millions of years and under intense pressure and temperature, these remains are converted into rich carbon sources such as coal, natural gas and oil. Therefore, this process converts carbon in the living system to fossil fuels.

WINSTONCH [101]

Ans.

Sex-linked genes are those genes that found on sex-chromosomes (X and Y chromosomes) and their phenotypic expression for a trait depends on the gender of the  offspring.

Most of the sex-linked genes are present on X chromosomes as X chromosomes have more number of genes as they are made up of more DNA as compared to Y chromosome.

However, male individuals are more likely to exhibit the sex-linked traits. It is because most of the sex-linked traits are recessive and males have only one copy of X chromosome, while females have two copies of X chromosome. One mutated copy in male can exhibit the trait, while in females, both of the mutated copies are required to exhibit that trait.

In seed-eating finches in the Galapagos Islands, birds with large beaks are adapted to eat seeds with hard shells,
astraxan [27]

Answer:

The answer might be D

Explanation:

The answer could be D because birds with larger beaks should be capable of eating soft shell seeds, as well as hard shell seeds. So natural selection would not occur because the finches with large beaks would not die as a result of not eating soft shell seeds. The finches with large beaks should be able to reproduce offspring with the same trait. And so should the finches with small beaks.
