Answer:
It is essentially a broth culture filtrate of the penicillium mould.
Explanation:
- Alexander Fleming invented penicillin an antibiotic in 1928. These have been rated as the most important scientific discovery, being among the first antibiotics to be effective against bacterial infection.
- Penicillin belongs to different families that are selective against a large variety of bacteria.
- In fact, this antibiotic was discovered by fleming and accident in which he left a platter containing staphylococci open and was contaminated by green mould. There was an area of inhibited bacterial growth around the mould from which he inferred that the mould produced a material that inhibited bacterial growth. This was found to be a penicillium mould through further study.
- I assume penicillin is the most significant discovery so far because it was the first antibiotic ever discovered against bacterial infection in the absence of any drug.
The answer is D) 1/2.
Let's imagine that two genes of the genotype can be analysed separately.
Black fur is determined by dominant allele B. In this case, parents Bb and BB will give offspring with only brown fur:
Parents: Bb x BB
Offspring: BB BB Bb Bb
Both homozygous (BB) and heterozygous (Bb) offspring will have black fur.
On the other hand, long tails are determined by recessive allele t. Parents Tt and tt will have 50% offspring with short tail and 50% offspring with long tail:
Parents: Tt x tt
Offspring: Tt Tt tt tt
Heterozygous offspring (Tt) will have short tail, and homozygous offspring (tt) will have a long tail.
So, the offspring will definitely have black fur and will not affect the fraction of the offspring with black fur and long tails from the cross of <span>BbTt × BBtt. But, </span>there will be 2 out of 4 offspring with short tails which is 50% or 1/2.
Genetic engineering is the process of manipulating the genes and therfor the traits of an organism
we already genetically engineer our plants so they are stonger, faster, and produce better (better looking, better tasting, etc) fruit/food.
we might possible be able to genetically engineer humand or babies to controll the traits we want (do you want your baby to be good at this)
basically genetic engineering is normally used to change theh current state of something so that it is more suited for the job that you intend for it
