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.

How is the energy in glucose extracted for use in the cell? summarize the four steps of cellular respiration, including the inpu
Vanyuwa [196]
Step 1
Glucose enters glycolysis pathway and glycolysis yields pyruvate, then pyruvate undergoes processing.
step 2
Pyruvate processing ;releases acetylCOA which joins the citric acid cycle.
Step 3
The citric acid cycle yields 2ATP and CO2 and also releases NADH and FADH2 to electron transport chain and chemiosmosis.
Step 4
Chemiosmosis and electron transport chain yields 25 ATP molecules and H2O Oxygen enters electron transport chain and osmosis.

How is energy transformed in human beings​
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Hope this helps!

Explanation:

All of the body processes, like digestion, pumping blood, breathing, are powered by cells converting the stored chemical energy into work and heat, in a process called respiration. ... Inside the muscle cells of the human (or any animal), the chemical energy is transformed (changed) into mechanical work and heat.
