Define the term osmosis and give an example.​

Biology
1 answer:
makkiz [27]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: Osmosis is the movement of water or other solvent through a plasma membrane from a region of low solute concentration to a region of high solute concentration, tending to equalise the concentrations of the solutes. Osmosis is passive transport, meaning it does not require energy to be applied.

Examples of osmosis in daily life include plant cells soaking up water, skin soaking up water, and slugs reacting to salt.

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

a rat with rabbit hemoglobin genes

Explanation:

When the genome of an organism is modified in the field of genetic engineering,by transplanting the gene(DNA) from one organisms to another,(by vectors) or alteration of the gene components,the resulting organism produced or formed is called Transgenic organism.

This process of genetic engineering makes use of recombination of genes to alter the genome of the transgenic organism.

Thus by transferring to  rat ( the DNA for Hb) as the  rabbit Hb,the gene( or genome) for producing Hb in tats has been modified by that of rabbit.Hence Rat is said to transgenic.

Besides animals crop plants are also genetically modified.Thus the genome of some crops are altered to resist herbicides and pesticides. Some species of rice (golden rice)have been  modified to  add certain  vitamins to improve the nutritional values.

Genetically modified bananas as edible vaccines are another example
