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.

Would it be easier for an investigator to change the outcome of differentiation if a cell used cytoplasmic determinants or induc
IrinaK [193]

The correct answer is: Induction, because this could be easily changed by changing the cell's environment.

Cell differentiation (process by which cell becomes specialized) can be under the influence of many factors:

• Cytoplasmic influence because cytoplasm can influence and control the behaviour of nuclear genes.

• Embryonic induction-changing the cell environment

For example: if cells from one region of the embryo are transplanted to some other region that transplant will most likely differentiate according to the chemical regulators of the surrounding cells.  

• Proteins present in a cell influences its differentiation

• Cell-Cell interactions via cell-cell adhesion and signalling molecules.
