Scientists build the human insulin gene in a laboratory. Then they remove a loop of bacterial DNA known as a plasmid and insert the human insulin gene to the plasmid. Researchers return the plasmid to the bacteria and put the recombinant bacteria in large fermentation tanks. There, the recombinant bacteria use the gene to begin producing human insulin. Scientists harvest the insulin from the bacteria and purify the substance for use as a medicine for people. Hope that helps:)!!

In mice, black color (B) is dominant to white (b). At a different locus, a dominant allele (A) produces a band of yellow just be
artcher [175]

Answer:

3

Explanation:

Heterozygous mice at both loci would be BbAa genotype.

B (black) is dominant over b (white) but the presence of A results in agouti.

Crossing two heterozygous:

     BbAa    x    BbAa

Progeny

<em>9 B_A_ - Agouti</em>

<em>3 bbA_ - agouti</em>

<em>3 B_aa - Black</em>

<em>1 bbaa - white</em>

Hence, 3 out of 16 progeny will be black in color.

Energy flows through an ecosystem in one ____, from the sun or organic compounds to ____ and the to various ____ . ((HELP ME PLE
vlabodo [156]
Hi!

Energy will flow through an ecosystem in one <em>direction, </em>from the sun or inorganic compounds to<em> autotrophs </em>and then to various <em>heterotrophs. </em>

The energy flow in an area will be delivering light energy to <em>autotrophs</em>, which make their food from the energy the sun produces. 

The energy flow also delivers energy via inorganic compounds to <em>heterotrophs</em>, which do not make their own food.

Hopefully, this helps! =)
