Answer;

-Pieces of genes can be inserted into the genetic material of prokaryotes so that they will make the protein products encoded in the genes or copies of the genes themselves. This has been used to genetically engineer bacteria to produce medicines, such as insulin.

Explanation;

-Transformation is the process in which a prokaryotic cell can take up and incorporate foreign DNA from the surrounding environment.

-Prokaryotes are commonly used as host cells for making copies of DNA in the lab because they are easy to grow in large numbers. Their cellular machinery naturally carries out DNA replication and protein synthesis.

-Prokaryotic or bacterial transformation is used to genetically engineer bacteria to produce medicines.

How does the human immune system work
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The acquired immune system, with help from the innate system, produces cells (antibodies) to protect your body from a specific invader. These antibodies are developed by cells called B lymphocytes after the body has been exposed to the invader. The antibodies stay in your child's body.

A recent study of the marine hawksbill turtle's stomach contents revealed that sponges constitute a major portion of their diet.
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

These structures that protect the sponges from most predators, but not turtles, are spicules.

Explanation:

Sponges <em>skeleton</em> is composed of <em>calcium carbonate and siliceous</em> micro-structures called <u>spicules</u>. Their morphology is so varied that it is used in taxonomy for identification and classification.

There are different kinds of spicules:

-         <em>Monoaxonic spicule</em>: needle-shaped, straights or curves

-         <em>Tetraxonic spicules:</em> they have four prolongations

-         <em>Triaxonic or Hexaxonic spicules</em>

-         <em>Poliaxonic spicules </em>

Two terms can be applied to any of these spicules kinds:

-         <em>Megaspicules</em>: They are elongated and compose the main architecture of the sponge skeleton

-         <em>Microspicules</em>: Variable in shape and size, with ancillary functions

Sponges have few predators thank to the spicule structures and their high toxicity. Many of them are capable of perforating soft tissues and producing urticant substances.
