Transgenic organisms are those that have had their genomes altered by external means. These organisms are found in applications of genetic engineering, but they are only useful if the inserted gene is expressed in the organism.
An example of a transgenic organism may be a rat with the gene for hemoglobin from a rabbit. This rat is only useful if it indeed does produce rabbit hemoglobin in its blood due to the inserted gene.
<span>Minerals have an ordered internal atomic arrangement which means that the atoms which make up the mineral are arranged in an ordered geometric pattern or also known as the crystal structure. Thus, it can be concluded that all minerals are crystals. The crystal structure is the same for the same type of mineral. For example, every piece of quartz found anywhere have the same crystalline structure. </span>
Carrying capacity of an ecosystem is the defined as the largest population that it can sustain indefinitely with the available resources. Biologists also refer to carrying capacity as the “maximum load”. Carrying capacity has factors it depends on. These are the many abiotic and biotic factors in the ecosystem and some are more obvious than others. The most obvious being, the availability of the basic needs of organisms which make up the different ecosystems. Some of these are food, water and shelter in which dictate how many individuals the ecosystem can sustain.
