<h2>Correct Answer is (C)</h2>

Explanation:

  (C) Use of reporter genes

  • <em>Reporter gene</em> A quality that is utilized to<em> 'tag' </em>another quality or DNA succession of interest, for example, <em>an promoter</em>
  • Expression of the correspondent is handily observed, and allows the function or whereabouts of the<em> 'target' sequence</em> to be tracked.It have a two type of reporter gene such as scorable reporter gene and selector gene
  • Scorable reporter gene - The gene have expression of this result in quantifiable  phenotype and easily detected through highly<em> sensitive enzymes assays </em>
  • Selector gene- The gene expression<em> resistance to a toxin</em>  and selection of tranformants from <em>non tranformants in growth media containing selective agents </em>

Even though DNA and messenger RNA share many characteristics, they are different in both structure and function. Describe how DN
Akimi4 [234]

Answer/Explanation:

DNA and messenger RNA (mRNA) are different in a variety of ways that impact their function in the cell. One way in which they are different is their location. DNA is found in the nucleus of the cell, whereas mRNA is produced in the nucleus, but moves to the cytoplasm.

They are also different in terms of their structure. The mRNA molecule is single-stranded, whereas DNA is double stranded, forming a helix. Their composition is also slightly different, DNA uses the nucleotides adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine, whereas RNA uses uracil in place of thymine.

Finally, they differ in their function. The function of DNA is to hold the genetic information and transmit it to future generations. The function of mRNA is to transcribe the information encoded in DNA and pass it to the protein synthesis machinery, where mRNA is translated to proteins.

1. How does the equations help explain the role of
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

1. Producers create energy for other organisms to consume.

2. It converts sugars to usable energy that all organisms need

Explanation:

All living organisms require energy, which they obtain by feeding on one another in an ecosystem. The series of feeding steps involved is called FOOD CHAIN. Food chain always starts with an organism called PRODUCER, which is an autotroph i.e. capable of producing its own food by using light energy from sunlight e.g plants. All other organisms in the food chain are directly or indirectly dependent on plants to get energy. This is because plants and other autotrophs create the energy that is being transferred as the food chain progresses.

2. Cellular respiration is an important phenomenon for all living organism because it is the metabolic process by which they obtain the usable energy by their cells i.e. ATP. Food molecules in form of sugar (glucose) eaten by organisms are broken down in the presence of oxygen (aerobic) to yield ATP molecules, which is the energy currency of every living cell. This energy is used to perform the organism's life activities.
