The transfer of genes from one organism to another is called genetic engineering. This is new technology used to change the gene

tic makeup of cells by inserting or removing genes. Genetic engineering is used by scientists to enhance or modify the characteristics of an individual organism. Which of these is an example of genetic engineering?
A) breeding purebred horses for racing
B) breeding designer dogs like labradoodles and yorkipoos
C) GMOs, genetically modified foods engineered in a lab to produce desirable traits
D) crossing two types of fruit to bring together the best traits of both organisms, such as a tangelo

Answer: C) GMOs, genetically modified foods engineered in a lab to produce desirable traits.

Explanation:

The genetic engineering involves the insertion of genes from other organism to the host organism so as to make up genetically modified organism. Some unwanted and default genes are also removed from the organisms so that their body function properly.

The genetically modified foods are the examples of genetic engineering. This is done to produce desirable traits in the food crops. In plants both plants and animal genes are inserted to improve the yield of crops, and to improve their quality. In animals, the insertion of genes of other animals is likely to improve the milk and meat yield.

Answer:

Option (1).

Explanation:

The RNA is produced from the DNA by the process known as translation. The proteins products are produced from the RNA by the process known as translation. Proteins are the polymers of the amino acids.

The situation 1, radioactive amino acids has been used. In this case, the mRNA is used in this process to make the radioactive proteins by the process of translation. The radioactive amino acids are used for the formation of radioactive protein. The situation 2, the RNAase has used with radioactive amino acids. In this case, the RNAse enzyme breaks the mRNA molecule and the proteins are not translated that contains the radioactive amino acids. No proteins formation occurs in this case.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).

3. a) What are three ways for materials to move in and out of cells? (6 points)
zalisa [80]
Answer: Diffusion, Osmosis and Active Transport
Explanation:
The processes of transport between the cell and the external environment can be grouped into groups: Passive Processes - occur through the plasma membrane, without energy expenditure to the cell, to equalize cell concentration with the external medium. Examples of such processes are diffusion, facilitated diffusion and osmosis. Active processes - occur through the plasma membrane, with energy expenditure, maintaining the concentration difference between the cell and the external environment. For example, sodium-potassium pump. Diffusion In diffusion, particles move from the highest concentration medium to the lowest concentration medium, so that it can be distributed throughout the medium. Therefore diffusion is a process called passive transport. Facilitated Diffusion is the passive transport of substances across the plasma membrane, without wasting cell metabolic energy, allowing the passage of substrates (molecules or ions) from a more concentrated to a less concentrated medium through specific mediation of carrier proteins, enzymes carriers or permeases along the plasma membrane. This process is mainly used to transport carbohydrates, amino acids, vitamins and some ions: sodium, potassium, calcium. Osmosis is the name given to the movement of water between media with different concentrations of solutes separated by a semipermeable membrane. It is an important physicochemical process in cell survival.
The sodium-potassium pump is an example of active transport. Sodium concentration is higher in the extracellular environment while potassium is higher in the intracellular environment. Importantly, the energy required for this change comes from the breakdown of the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecule into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and phosphate. The sodium (Na +) ion in the cytoplasm is pumped out of the cell. In the extracellular medium, the potassium ion (K +) is pumped into the internal medium. If there was no efficient active transport, the concentration of these ions would equal. Thus, the sodium and potassium pump is important as it establishes the difference in electrical charge between the two sides of the membrane that is critical for muscle and nerve cells and facilitates the penetration of amino acids and sugars.
