A biologist wishes to take a useful gene found in pine trees and introduce it into some bacterial cells. Her experimental proced

ure is given below.
1. Use a restriction enzyme to cut a gene out of the pine tree DNA.
2. Use a restriction enzyme to cut open a plasmid.
3. Treat the plasmid with DNA ligase.
4. Mix the desired gene and plasmid together.
5. Introduce the plasmid into bacterial cells.
Which steps should be switched in the biologist's procedure?

Answer:

option A

Explanation:

In carrying out these experimental procedure, the same restriction enzyme that is used to cut out the gene of interest should also be the same used for the cutting of the plasmid to generate sticky ends. Then the desired gene is inserted into the cut plasmid  then treatment with DNA ligase. Purified DNA ligase is utilized in gene cloning to join/ligate DNA molecules together forming a recombinant DNA. Thus, step 3 should be carried out after step 4.

Veseljchak [2.6K]
<span>The correct answer is the second option: Fats are a type of lipid. The first option is incorrect, because lipids are the larger, overarching group that fats fall under. The third option is incorrect because fats and lipids are completely related, as displayed by the correct answer. Fats are a specific type of lipid. The last option is incorrect. Although all fats are lipids, all lipids are not fats. Lipids also comprise waxes, phospholipids, sterols, etc. </span>

The NADPH generated by the pentose phosphate pathway primarily serves as a
Igoryamba

Answer:

Option-A

Explanation:

Pentose phosphate pathway is the alternative pathway taking place in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes parallel to the glycolysis.

The pentose phosphate pathway forms the electron carriers called NADPH and the ribose-5 phosphate.

The NADPH is formed in large amounts through this pathway which contains a very high amount of energy. NADPH can donate its hydride ions, therefore, it can be involved in the reaction where it can donate energy in the form of hydrogen and electron.

The NADPH is therefore involved in the formation of reducing biosynthetic pathways like fatty acid synthesis, cholesterol synthesis, and bile acid synthesis.

Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.

which of the following characteristics do bryophytes share with algae? a. non motile gametes and cell wall structure b. biflagel
Nezavi [6.7K]

The correct answer is letter C.

Bryophytes have biflagellate gametes and cuticle. The cuticle serves as the covering of the soft tissue of the plant which provides protection and prevents damages on the walls of the plants. The biflagellate gametes develop also as a form of protection as well. These plants have an aquatic ancestry because of their dependence on water for reproduction and survival.
