Answer:

A. The gene for surface protein was transcribed and translated.

Explanation:

Because all living organisms use the same genetic code, it is possible to express genes from one organism in the other. In this case, the DNA sequence that corresponds to the hepatitis B surface protein gene has been inserted into the banana, and the protein is expressed.

For the protein to be expressed, the gene must have been successfully transcribed into an mRNA by the banana plant machinery. This mRNA has then been translated into a protein that means the hepatitis B surface protein is now present in the cell.

Plants are autotrophs, which means they produce their own food. They use the process of photosynthesis to transform water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide into oxygen, and simple sugars that the plant uses as fuel. These primary producers form the base of an ecosystem and fuel the next trophic levels.

Which of these blood samples most likely came from the left ventricle?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
Sample A most likely came from the left ventricle, as this is the portion of the heart that receives freshly oxygenated blood to be pumped to different parts of the body. Oxygenated blood is blood that has had oxygen bounded to it by hemoglobin (a pigment made of iron found in red blood cells). The oxidation of this blood by the iron in the hemoglobin gives it the RBC bright red look. This blood containing the bright RBCs in transported to the left ventricle from the lung, after which it is spread throughout the body. Hence, in normal conditions of the heart, the Sample A most likely came from the left ventricle.
