Answer:

a potato plant that is modified to resist pests

Explanation:

<em>DNa technology refers to a variety of techniques used to manipulate the genetic materials of living organisms so as to produce desirable physical or genetic changes to the organism.</em>

A potato plant can have its DNA modified to become resistant to pests. The DNA of the potato is is disrupted and a foreign DNA carrying the relevant gene is introduced into its genome. The transformed plant is then cloned to produce several plants of similar trait with the transformed plant.

An elephant calf with mutation in its DNA has nothing to do with DNA technology as mutation is a natural process.

A dog with a mechanical limb is due to bio-augmentation and not DNA technology.

A flower with a pattern designed by people has nothing to do with DNA technology because the design is not imprinted on the DNA, it is physical.

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

it condenses the DNA so that it can fit inside the cell.

Explanation:

Supercoiling is a level of genome packaging and is important for the packaging of the DNA which is about 2m in length inside a nucleus that is about 6microm. Supercoiling refers to the over (positive supercoiling) or under winding (negative supercoiling) of a DNA strand, and is an expression of the strain on that strand. Supercoiling is in compacting DNA, and also allows for the regulation of access of transcriptional machinery and other biological activities to the DNA and in turn gene expression. Certain enzymes such as topoisomerases are able to change DNA topology to facilitate access of DNA replication or transcription.

The divisions of the nervous system that have antagonistic actions, or opposing actions are A) motor and sensory. B) sympathetic
Effectus [21]

Answer:

B) sympathetic and parasympathetic

Explanation:

e autonomic nervous system also called the vegetative nervous system is part of the peripheral nervous system which inervates  smooth muscle and glands. Thus, it directly affects the function of internal organs and  regulates  functions such as the heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate,  urination etc. This nervous system control is  unconscious.

The autonomic nervous system is divided into: the sympathetic nervous system, the parasympathetic nervous system and the enteric nervous system.

Parasympathetic nervous system works when organism is at rest so it is known as system responsible for "rest and digest functions". On the other hand, sympathetic nervous system works at active and stressful situations and it is known as "fight and flight" system.

g Bacterial genomes contain small transposable elements termed ____________ that resemble transposons of eukaryotic cells.
timama [110]

Answer:

Bacterial genomes contain small transposable elements termed <u>Jumping Genes</u> that resemble transposons of eukaryotic cells.

Explanation:

Jumping genes are small parts of the DNA that program enzymes and move it from one DNA location to another, sometimes on the same molecule of DNA sometimes on another molecule.

Cheers!
