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.

Urgent!!!!! How can a mutation benefit an organism and its descendants? Provide an example.
Mashcka [7]
A mutation can allow a organism to adapt to the environment and example can be the case of the peppered moth which has two variations a white colored one and a black colored one. The white colored ones were able to survive better that the darker ones because of how they were able to camouflage with the lichen located in the trees. However, after a while smoke particles that were released by industries darkened the trunk of the trees making the white moths visible and allowing the darker colored ones to survive. Another example can be on how organism can be resistant to bacteria this allows the animal to survive and reproduce offspring with the same mutation. I hope this helps...

In your own words describe three key features of a fair test
Ainat [17]

Answer:

In a fair test two or more things are compared. In order for a test to be fair or scientifically sound, children are required to ensure only one thing (this is called a variable) is changed.

For example, if testing which material is the most waterproof by pouring liquid onto a selection of different materials, in a fair test only the type of material (the component you are testing) should be changed. Therefore all other elements (the type of liquid used, the amount of liquid used, the distance the liquid is poured from, the speed at which it is poured and the size of the material) must remain the same each time the test is carried out. It would be unfair or an unscientific test if, for example, 1000ml of water were poured onto a piece of foil and 2ml of milk poured onto a piece of foam – you would not be able to fairly compare the materials. 

hope this will help you!!!.....
