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:)!!

What is the mystery element? is this a metal, nonmetal, or metalloid?

kiruha [24]

This is a metal!

I believe this is a metal because non-metal can be cut out instantly as this element shown has a metallic luster. Metalloids can be removed as they are worse at the conduction of electricty than metals, and all of the other properties listed are properties held by metals.

(Yes this is just my old answer but only because it is really the same reasoning)

Hope this helps, if not, comment below please!!!

Fluorescent in situ hybridization (Fish) is a method employing a fluorescent dye covalently bonded to a specific nucleic acid probe identifying or tracking organisms in the environment. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (fish) can be used to determine; how many salmonella typhimurium cells are present in a sample of unpasteurized apple juice, the phylogenetic diversity of an environmental sample and also whether a specific piece of mRNA is being produced.
