The process is known as Genetic Engineering.

This is the technique in which the manipulation the DNA of the bacteria is done which makes the bacteria produce the product of our interest.

This technique can also be used to treat a disease by manipulating the gene.

In this process the gene producing the harmful protein is suppressed sop that it does not produces the protein which is deadly or not required.

The most probable and most likely answer to this problem would be genetic engineering.

Since this talks about scientists having recently modified the bacteria that cause tooth decay by inserting a fragment of DNA into the bacteria's DNA that prevents it from producing lactic acid, it has now altered the genetic composition of the bacteria. Genetically engineering bacteria and viruses have their advantages and, of course, disadvantages, either direct ones or long term ones. Genetic engineering would prove that it would be one of the many weapons that we could use to counter problems in the coming future.

What explanation describes the primary function of the cell in the table?
svp [43]

Answer: C) The cell can produce energy for cellular functions.

Explanation: A cell is the functional unit of all living things. Cells are made up different parts with specialized functions. Cells take in nutrients from food and convert them to energy which is needed for other cellular functions. The specialized functions of the different parts of a cell can only be carried out if sufficient energy is provided by the cell. The functions of different parts of a cell include reproduction, absorption of nutrients and removal of substances from the cell, protein synthesis but none of these functions will be carried out if energy is not supplied.

Answer:

40: 3

41: 1

Explanation:

40: When trying to achieve a better or sharper image on a microscope, the part of the microscope that needs to be adjusted is the "fine focus" which is responsible for better/sharper image by either moving the stage or the eyepiece. The fine focus is labelled C in the image.

41: Chromosomes contain hereditary materials (genes) that are responsible for an organism's trait. All organisms have their individual genetic materials in their cells and in the case of the onion cells, it's genetic materials (genes) are stored in the chromosomes hence it is important the cells have these chromosomes. Thus, the correct option is 1
