Biology

8 0

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Cloning vector is a small piece of DNA (e.g. plasmid) into which a foreign DNA fragment can be inserted for the purpose of cloning.

Usually, during the process of cloning, vector is treated with a restriction enzyme that cuts the DNA of a vector and the foreign DNA. Because they are treated with the same enzyme, vector DNA and foreign DNA contain compatible ends that can be joined together by molecular ligation via DNA ligase enzyme.

Answer:

Ya antes del fin del siglo XIX Ehrlich había usado el término "complemento" para designar la actividad del suero que podía complementar la capacidad de los anticuerpos específicos de lisar bacterias. Pero es Jules Bordet quien descubre (1895) este componente, caracterizado frente a los anticuerpos por su termolabilidad. En 1907 Ferrata comienza a caracterizar algunos de sus componentes recurriendo a métodos de diálisis. Por motivos meramente cronológicos, los componentes iban recibiendo denominaciones a base de números tras la letra "C" conforme se iban descubriendo. Por esta razón, su orden de actuación no guarda en general relación con su nomenclatura.

High levels of ________ in the blood are associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease.
AleksandrR [38]
The answer is High-density lipoprotein or HDL. One of the critical elements of HDL is to transport cholesterol from the cells and tissue back to the liver. High HDL-cholesterol is great as it removes cholesterol from cells and the blood and averts overabundance cholesterol. HDL likewise expels cholesterol stored in the dividers of veins.

Why can a cell not survive under conditions of unlimited growth
Maurinko [17]
 If they are continuously dividing this means there is something wrong with them because normal cells don't do this. That means they have an error in their DNA. If it grows incessantly this error is being spread in the body when it shouldn't be, which can lead to subversive effects on the human body
