Which statement explains why the tetra fish are able to produce a green glow? Bioluminescence is the emission of light by a livi

ng organism. It occurs naturally in many organisms. For example, one species of jellyfish has a protein that causes it to glow in a bright, green color. Scientists have isolated the gene that produces the bioluminescence protein and inserted the gene into the embryos of tetra fish. This results in tetra fish that produce a green glow.

Answer:

Scientists have isolated the gene that produces the bioluminescence protein and inserted the gene into the embryos of tetra fish. This results in tetra fish that produce a green glow.

Explanation:

Tetra fish is a type or an example Glofish that has undergone genetic modifications whereby the gene in jelly fish that produces the green fluorescent protein (GFP) was extracted and inserted into the embryos of the tetra fish thereby causing them to glow or fluoresce in the presence of Ultraviolet light or natural light. The genetically modified tetra fish passes this fluorescent gene from one generation to another.

The aim of this genetic modification in tetra fish was to be able to detect water pollution in the sea using the glow of the tetra fish.

enyata [817]
Yes, Only bacteria can convert molecular nitrogen, into a form which can be utilized by other living beings such as plants. The nitrogen fixed by the bacteria, by this process, become available to the plants, which uptakes it, for their own growth, and is also accumulated in their seeds. Further, leguminous plants have nitrogen-fixing bacteria associated with them in synergy. They provide the plant with additional nitrogen, and in exchange obtain nutrients from the plant, for their growth and division.

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

B.sea floor spreading

Explanation:

The creation of new crusts at the middle of the mid- ocean ridges is also sea floor spreading.

The process of sea floor spreading entails the creation of new crusts at the margin of the oceanic crusts.

Basaltic materials from the subsurface upwells to the surface.

They cool and solidifies to form new crusts. The old crust is moved behind and away from the margin. This way, sea floor is formed and it spreads in like manner.

At this margin sea floor is created and at a convergent margin, it is destroyed.

beks73 [17]

Answer:

This was the only treatment options adopted for the Ebola in  1995 in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The assumption was that immune response is generated by the virus in the WBC of the infected individuals. These response produce antibodies.

A total if 8 patients were transfused with these blood contained antibodies, but one of these died, the remaining 7 patients survived.

The antibodies were believed to  have  multiplied(produced b-cells) to neutralize the Ebola virus(antigens)  and to ensure the survival of the patients
