In traditional recombinant DNA technology, a desirable gene from one organism is inserted into the DNA of a host organism. Howev

er, to create a synthetic life form, Craig Venter’s team actually builds the entire DNA molecule from individual DNA nucleotides. Why would it be harder to create a synthetic life form than to use recombinant DNA technology

Answer:

The correct answer is "In order to create a synthetic life form it would be necessary to know the function of every gene and include them in the organism".

Explanation:

The most common approach of studies using recombinant DNA technology is to insert a desirable gene from one organism into a host organism. This approach is much more feasible that creating a synthetic life form because, in order to create a synthetic life form, it would be necessary to know the function of every gene and include them in the organism. Even though the whole DNA sequence of many organisms is known (including humans), the function of the entire sequences of the genome is yet to be understood.

When an organism encounters nitrate in its environment, which condition will determine whether the nitrate is used in an assimil
Arada [10]

Answer:

Dissimilatory- oxygen absent

Assimilatory- high concentration of nitrite

Explanation:

In assimilatory nitrate reduction, ammonium is produced and subsequently incorporated into biomass to build up e.g., proteins and nucleic acids. Dissimilatory nitrate reduction is a process for energy conservation, in which nitrate is used as an electron acceptor in the (near) absence of oxygen . Dissimilatory nitrate reduction and nitrate storage in particular are physiological life traits that provide microbes with environmental flexibility (i.e., metabolic activity under both oxic and anoxic conditions) and resource independence (i.e., anaerobic metabolism without immediate nitrate supply), respectively. Such life traits are especially important in environments that are temporarily anoxic and/or nitrate-free and they may have developed as a “life strategy” in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes

How are the 3 stages of cell division similar to how new animals are created?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Cell divison is defined as the process in which a parent cell split into two or more daughter cells. There are three stages of cell division that includes interphase, mitosis/meiosis and cytokinesis.

In the interphase the proteins, enzymes and cell organelles are formed and at the end of this phase single strand chromosome becomes a double strand carrying genes.

In the meiosis (in sexual reproduction) or mitosis (asexual reproduction) phase, divison of nucleus takes place. Meiosis gives rise to geneticaly different cells due to crossing over while mitosis leads to  identical cells .

Cytokinesis occurs cocurrently after meiosis or mitosis in which cytoplasm of a parental cell divides into two daughter cells each with identical chromatin.

Creation of new animals are also undergo these 3 stages of cell division that is interphase, meiosis (eukaryotes)/mitosis (prokaryotes) and cytokinesis. Majority of animals (eukaryotes) undergo meiosis phase because their mode of reproduction sexual and have genetic variation due to crossing over of chromosomes and produces 4 daughter cells at the end cell division.

Hence, the 3 stages of cell division is similar to craetion of new animals.

Some members of Daphnia, a water flea, have a genetic mutation that causes them to prefer warmer environments. These members rep
algol [13]

Answer:

A. Adaptation

Explanation:

Adaptation refers to the evolutionary process in which organisms undergo mutation or genetic change over many generations, which makes the organisms become better suited to multiply and survive in its habitat. The genetic mutation of Daphnia which makes them develop a trait that makes subsequent generations to prefer warmer environments is an example of adaptation of the organism to his environment.

How do sea anemone catch prey?
V125BC [204]

Answer:

Tentacles have specialised stinging cells called nematocysts. They use these to immobilise their prey so that the tentacles are then able to move the food into the mouth.
