Answer:

Body functions stimulated by the parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) include sexual arousal, salivation, lacrimation, urination, digestion, and defecation. The PSNS primarily uses acetylcholine as its neurotransmitter. Peptides (such as cholecystokinin) may also act on the PSNS as neurotransmitters. The parasympathetic nervous system is composed mainly of the cranial and sacral spinal nerves.

Blood is a heterogeneous mixture because the blood cells are physically separate from the blood plasma. The cells have different properties than the plasma. The cells can be separated from the plasma by centrifuging, which is a physical change. Since it can be separated mechanically, it is not a chemical compound

The organism which is least similar to the other animals is the blue whale. This is because it belongs to the order cetacea while the other animals belong to the order carnivora. This means that the other animals are carnivorous in their mode of feeding but blue whale is not.

tructures used in recombinant DNA technology to carry the DNA from the cells of one species to the cells of another species are

Kobotan [32]

The process of fusing two or more DNA molecules to produce a hybrid is known as recombinant DNA. Restrictions endonucleases and ligases are two classes of enzymes that enable the technique.

When a restriction endonuclease detects a particular DNA sequence, it makes cuts inside or near that sequence. The recognition sequence of a restriction enzyme will haphazardly appear on every (1–4)n bases along a random DNA chain. The equation states how many fragments ends (measured in moles) are produced when a restriction enzyme cuts DNA.

Moles of DNA ends =2x(grams of DNA)/(number of bp)(660 g/mol / bp).

The equation describes how many ends are produced when circular DNA is digested by a restriction enzyme.

Mole ends=2x(moles DNA)x number of restriction sites.

The following equation can be used to determine how many ends are produced during the digestion of a linear molecule by a restriction endonuclease.

Mole ends=2x(molesDNA)number of restriction sites +[2x(moles of DNA)].
