<span>The toxin Bt (endotoxin CrylA (b)) Bacillus thuringiensis  that is a normal inhabitant of the soil, showed himself as a natural insecticide used by farmers engaged in organic farming. In contrast to the Bt-toxin produced by bacteria, genetic engineers included it pesticide in every cell of the seed, and therefore distributed throughout the adult plant, the products from which then are consumed by man. </span>That's why scientists are concerned that after the use of a BT toxin products people get antibiotic resistance and resistance to bt.

Under which conditions are the lac structural genes expressed most efficiently?
madam [21]

Lac genes are most effectively expressed in presence of Lactose and its analogs when glucose is absent.

Explanation:

A unit of prokaryotic gene expression and regulation,which includes structural genes and regulatory sequences recognized by regulatory gene product is called operon.

<em>Lac </em>structural genes are a part of<em> Lac</em> operon. The <em>Lac </em>operon consists of three, structural genes,an operator and a promoter.The product of Lac operon is involved in the conversion of disaccharide lactose into glucose and Galactose.

Lactose and its analogs are inducers of<em> Lac </em>operon. So, the structural genes are best expressed in presence of Lactose. Glucose and galactose are repressors of lac gene so the genes are repressed in presence of glucose.

The MAIN purpose of photosynthesis is to
Licemer1 [7]
Convert carbon dioxide gas to oxygen gas.

produce the food the plant needs to grow.
However, some folks have missed the purpose of photosynthesis. It's not oxygen production. The primary function of photosynthesis is to convert solar energy into chemical energy and then store that chemical energy for future use. For the most part, the planet's living systems are powered by this process

How do pockets increase a lung´s surface area?
icang [17]

Answer:

many alveoli are present in the lungs with a shape that further increases surface area. Thin walls - alveolar walls are one cell thick providing gases with a short diffusion distance. Moist walls - gases dissolve in the moisture helping them to pass across the gas exchange surface.
