<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Biotechnology is useful in many ways like </u><u>Medical, Energy Production, Food Processing, Waste management</u><u> and many more</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In medical field biotechnology is useful in gene therapy which is a technique to remove genetic defect in embryo or child. The use of various machines such as ECG, EEG etc are also the uses of biotechnology. Similarly the creation of biomass is a form of energy production and comes under biotechnology. The use of food processing in industries by using several scientific methods including engineering techniques is an example of biotechnology.

biotechnology has applications in four major industry areas, including health care (medical). crop production and agriculture, non-food (industrial) uses of crops and other products (e.g. biodegradable plastics, vegetable oil, biofuels), and environmental uses

A fertilizer company is trying to find a new herbal pesticide to add to its product. Company managers know that peppermint oil o

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Peppermint oil and morning, peppermint oil and night, lavender oil and morning, lavender oil and night

Step-by-step explanation:

Fertilisers are substances, which could be organic or inorganic, that is added to soil to increase crop yield.

Pesticide can be defined as substances that are used to control pests in an environment. Example of a pesticide includes:

- fungicides,

- herbicides( these are used to kill unwanted plants) and

- insecticides.

From the existing knowledge that the time of day the fertilizer is applied, morning and night affects the pesticide, and the Company managers know that peppermint oil or lavender oil will be used.

The insects should be subjected to the following treatments to effectively compare all combinations of these choices listed above:

- Peppermint oil and morning,

- peppermint oil and night,

- lavender oil and morning,

- lavender oil and night

In Drosophila, vestigial (partially formed) wings (vg) are recessive to normal long wings (vg+) and the gene for this trait is a

Marina CMI [18]

Answer/ Explanation:

a. The genotype of a homozygous white eyed long winged female would be Vg+Vg+XrXr. We denote the white allele as recessive (r) because the XY male only has one copy and yet has red eyes, so the red eye trait (R) must be dominant. A homozygous red eyed vestigial winged male would have be VgVgXRY. The possible gametes for the female are Vg+Xr only. For the male, the possible gametes are VgXR or VgY

The attached punnett square shows the results of the cross. The females will all be Vg+VgXRXr. The males will all be Vg+VgXRY (must inherit Y from father). That means they will all have normal length wings, the males will have white eyes and the females will have red eyes.

b. The F2 flies arise from intercrossing the F1, so the cross will be Vg+VgXRXr x Vg+VgXRY. The possible gametes for the mother are: Vg+XR, Vg+Xr, VgXR or VgXr. The possible gametes for the father are Vg+Xr

, Vg+Y

, VgXr

, VgY

. The attached punnet square shows this cross. The ratio of the phenotypes will be 6:6:2:2, or 3:3:1:1 (long-winged red eye: long-winged white eye: vestigial wing red eye: vestigial wing white eye), genotypes shown in the attachment.

c. F1 cross back to the mother would be Vg+VgXRY x Vg+Vg+XrXr. The genotypes are shown in the attached punnet square. The offspring will all be long-winged with white eyes. The F1 to the father would be Vg+VgXRXr x VgVgXRY. The ratio would be 3:3:1:1 long-winged red eye: long-winged white eye: vestigial wing red eye: vestigial wing white eye

During an experiment, readings for blood pressure in a person’s body were found to be constant. However, when measured by a diff

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

This difference indicates that the results are precise but not accurate .

Explanation:

Precise results are those that are very close to the actual result, but do not achieve exactly the same result. In addition, this difference between the precise results is exactly the same. We have an example of this in the case shown in the figure above, where the blood pressure readings measured by the cuff differ by 15 points for each reading. This case also shows us that the results are not accurate, because this type of result is one that shows a result exactly the same as the real one.
