Answer:

Genetic modification may be defined as the change in the genetic constitution of the organism. The transgenic organism are also produced by modifying the genes.

Genetic modification of fruits and vegetables are used to increase the quality and quantity. The genetic modification increases the ability to tolerates the wide range of temperature and climatic conditions. The improvement of the important vitamins, minerals and other biological compound can be done by modifying the genome of the fruits and vegetables.

For agricultural uses. For example: country or area with low precipitation and high droughts will starve if they don't have plants that can survive the harsh conditions such as genetically modified crops being able to take in less water than non genetically modified crops.

If adenine didn’t always pair with thymine and guanine didn’t always pair with cytosine, the new DNA ladders wouldn’t always be

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

they wouldnt be identical because for example Guanine could be paired with thymine in the original DNA strand but could decide to pair with adenine in the replication DNA. that would make a different type of DNA.

Explanation:

DNA replication is a beautiful process. In DNA replication adenine only pairs with thymine and guanine only pairs with cytosine. this ensures that a replication of the DNA will be the same type of DNA.

Replication works like this. Helicase splits open the DNA and each side is copied by DNA polymerase. If let's say the nucleotide bases for side 1 are ATGCGA then the DNA polymerase will pair these with the matching bases TACGCT which will make the same DNA but if each base could pair with any base they want that could create a few different variations of the original DNA. ATGCGA could very well be paired with TCGACA or CGACTA which would created two different types of DNA.

What is the pressure of 0.540 mol of an ideal gas at 35.5 L and 223 K?

Inga [223]

Answer:

Pressure, P = 28.2 kPa

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of moles, n = 0.54 mol

Volume of ideal gas, V = 35.5 L

Temperature, T = 223 K

We need to find the pressure of ideal gas. The equation of ideal gas is given by :

$PV=nRT$

R is gas constant

P is pressure

$P=\dfrac{nRT}{V}\\\\P=\dfrac{0.54\ mol\times 8.314\ kPa- L/mol- K\times 223\ K}{35.5\ L}\\\\P=28.2\ kPa$

So, the pressure of the gas is 28.2 kPa.

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

12 : 3 : 1

Explanation:

According to Mendel's principles, a dihybrid cross between two heterozygous summer squash parents (WwGg X WwGg) should yield offsprings, 12 with white, 3 with yellow and 1 with green color phenotype. The classic Mendelian phenotypic ratio for dihybrid cross is 9:3:3:1. In this case, genotypes W- G- and W- gg produce white color phenotype. This is because we have 12: 3: 1 phenotypic ratio in which the alleles of two different genes assort independently into gametes.

<em>Dihybrid cross for heterozygous summer squash:</em>

WG Wg wG wg

WG WWGG WWGg WwGG WwGg

Wg WWGg WWgg WwGg Wwgg

wG WwGG WwGg wwGG wwGg

wg WwGg Wwgg wwGg wwgg

Genotypes:

W-G- and W- gg = white = 12

ww G- = yellow = 3

ww gg = green = 1
