Answer:

The first statement is correct. Genetically modified salmon produce more growth hormone protein which enables them to grow all year round.

The following is the explanation why all other sentences aren't correct.

Genetically modified salmon and wild salmon would't have identical DNA. The genetically modified are ~99.99986% salmon, with the addition of 4,205 base pairs. Wild salmon reproduce sexually while the genetically modified salmon is sterile. Wild salmon don't an altered protein sequence, genetically modified ones do.

What is the role of DNA in determining an organisms traits
pogonyaev
DNA carries the "codes" that communicate what traits will be formed. The nucleotides in DNA are read and transcribed into mRNA which travels ot of the cells nucleus and then goes to a ribosome. In the ribosome, tRNA matches to mRNA with its anticodon. Each of the tRNA molecules are carrying an amino acid which are all connected by the ribosome to create an amino acid chain, which is a protein, which are traits in an organisms.

Why do cancer cells rely so much on metabolism of glucose ? 1 point) Because cancer cells grow in an anaerobic environment Becau
Degger [83]

Answer:

(a) Because cancer cells grow in an anaerobic environment

Explanation:

Cancer cells grow in an anaerobic environment so they cannot use the usual oxidative phosphorylation. They use the last compound generated through glycolysis (pyruvate), convert it to lactate, and start the lactate pathway. Even in conditions with high oxygen concentration, cancer cells do this, and it is thought that it is because they have some damage in mitochondrial activity but it is not proved, this is called the Warburg effect.
