Many genetic technologies involve the transferring of genes from one organism to another. For example, a gene in human DNA codes

for the production of insulin, an important protein. This gene has been transferred to bacterial DNA, where it remains functional. The bacteria produce human insulin that can be harvested and given to people who lack sufficient insulin supplies. Which property of molecular genetics is most useful for explaining the success of the technology used to manufacture insulin?

Answer:

The universality of genetic code.

Explanation:

The DNA is a molecule made up from 4 different nucleotides (A, T, C or G). The sequence in which these nucleotides are ordered constitute a code that gives a cell instructions to produce a specific protein. This is called the genetic code.

Every three nucleotides code for a specific amino acid. For example, ACG codes for Arginine, CUC codes for Proline, and so on.

The genetic code is universal. This means that in all living organisms, a particular sequence of three nucleotides will code for the same amino acid. This property guarantees that the human gene that codes for human insulin will also code for human insulin in bacteria.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Part 1.  The amount of calcium is independent variable.

Explanation:

An independent variable is a variable in an experiment which is changed to see its effects on dependent variable.

In this experiment, to know about the causes of osteoporosis, the Ca level in blood or calcium intake in changed.

So the concentration of calcium will be independent variable.

Part 2.

The risk of bone fractures is could be changed with calcium.

Explanation:

In this experiment osteoporosis or risk of bone fracture is dependent variable.

Dependent variable are results of experiment which can be changed by independent variable.

As in experiment, Calcium concentration is independent variable.

So the risk of osteoporosis depends can change with calcium.

In 2006, scientists found a fossil that seemed to have fish-like scales and four legs. It also had a bone structure in its neck
lianna [129]

Answer:

Option-C

Explanation:

Scientists found a fossil of a fish with four limbs or legs. The fossil was estimated to be around 375 million years old.  

The fossil showed the fins and scales of a fish but they also possess the bones of proto-wrist, shoulders and the elbow.

The presence of these bones can be a clue that the fish evolved the limbs to walk on the land and will later evolve into animals belonging to amphibians, reptiles and mammals. Therefore, the Tiktaalik is considered the missing link of how life evolved from water to land.

Thus, Option-C is correct.

ELEN [110]

I hope you meant, a cross between BbPp and BbPp, else for bbpp x bbpp, all the progeny will be bbpp.

We need to work out a Punnett square to determine the genotypes resulting from the cross between BbPp and BbPp. The dyhybrid cross results in 16 different genotypes, of which a few have the same phenotypes.

It can be seen that there are 4 different kinds of phenotypes present, in the ratio 9:3:3:1.
