Craig Venter’s group chose to create a synthetic life-form using a bacterium as their test subject. They inserted synthetic DNA

from the bacterium Mycoplasma mycoides into a Mycoplasma capricolum cell whose own DNA had been removed. The new cell accepted the synthetic DNA and was able to replicate, representing the first synthetic life-form. If they were to try the same experiment in an animal cell, what organelle would they need to replace?

Answer:

The team would have to replace the nucleus.

Explanation:

Prokaryotic cells, such as the Mycoplasma capricolum cell used in the experiment do not contain either membrane bound organelles or a defined nucleus. Prokaryotic DNA floats around freely in the cytoplasm in a region called the nucleoid.

The genetic material of eukaryotic cells is protected by a membrane bound nucleus. Therefore, in order to replace an animal cell's DNA, the whole nucleus has to be removed.

Example:

In the process of cloning, the oocyte (egg cell) that receives the nucleus (from somatic cell) of the desired species or individual has to be enucleated i.e. its own nucleus has to be removed. This process is called somatic cell nuclear transfer.

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

the pH

Explanation:

The condition that should not be kept the same in each of the five test tubes is the pH.

Since <u>the aim of the experiment is to investigate the effect of pH on the activity of the lipase enzyme</u>, the pH is, therefore, the <em>independent variable</em>. Thus, it must be controlled or varied in all the test tubes in order to see its effect on the activity of the enzyme, which, in this case, would be the dependent variable.

The right option is; b. anticipatory socialization.

Playing house as a child is a form of anticipatory socialization.

Anticipatory socialization is the process in which an individual changes his behaviors or learn new norms and values in preparation for a change in his role in the future. Playing house which is children’s game is a form of anticipatory socialization because when children play the game, they take the roles of a nuclear family such as children, parents, and newborns. Due to children’s experience with the game, they are prepared for adulthood.
