Answer:

The correct answer is: Retina.

Explanation:

  • The Retina can be defined as the fine layer of sensory epithelial tissue located near the backward region of the eye.
  • It forms the screen where the image of the object (located outside the eye) is formed after the light from the object gets refracted and focused by the crystalline convex lens in the eye.
  • It is located in close vicinity to the Optic Nerve.
  • The Retina is lined by specialised light-sensitive photoreceptor cells.
  • There are two types of light sensitive-photoreceptor cells which are called the Rods and Cones.
  • The Rod cells are responsible for determining the intensity of light.
  • The Cone cells are responsible for determining the colour.
  • The Retina is responsible for converting the light signal received by the eye into a neural impulse which is then sent to the brain through the optic nerve.

One of the factors that increases body heat during adaptive thermogenesis is the production of ___________ by skeletal muscle. t
Jlenok [28]

The answer is Production of organism, it happens in all warm-blooded animals, and also in a few species of thermogenic plants for example the Eastern skunk cabbage, the Voodoo lily, and the giant water lilies of the genus Victoria, the lodgepole pine dwarf mistletoe.  To keep the temperature up through shivering has only one method, it produce heat because of the conversion of the chemical energy of ATP into kinetic energy causing almost all of the energy to show up as heat.

Genetic engineers use plasmids. A plasmid is
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

C. A small, circular piece of DNA

Explanation:

A plasmid, usually circular but sometimes linear, is a small double-stranded DNA unit, which is chromosome independent and is capable of self-replication. Each plasmid carries only a few genes. Carrying only a few genes, the plasmid’s size ranges from 1 to more than 1000 kbp. Genes required for organism survival and those that are generally beneficial to the host organism, such as antibiotic resistance, are often found in plasmids [1].

Mostly plasmids can be found in bacteria, but they are also present in multicellular organisms and archaea. Plasmids usually contain at least one gene and are not considered independent life forms even though they possess separate genes from their hosts

Which of the following are useful traits of cloning vectors?
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option - e. all of the above are useful traits.

Explanation:

A cloning vector is a small segment of DNA that can be established stably in an individual organism and able to internalize a foreign DNA for cloning purposes. The cloning vector could be taken from different organisms such as plasmid of a bacterium, or DNA from a virus. A cloning vector must possess some characteristics -  

The cloning vector must be self-replicating ability in the host cells, it should be small in size with restriction site for the restriction endonuclease enzymes in it. The replication character of the vector should not interfere with the internalized DNA fragment. The presence of marker genes in the vector is also a property that is helpful in identifying of recombinant cells.

Thus, the correct answer is option - e. all of the above are useful traits.
