At Medicago, scientists remove a specific genetic sequence that codes for a hemagglutinin protein from an influenza virus and in

sert this gene into an Agrobacterium genome. After the hemagglutinin gene is inserted into Agrobacterium, tobacco plants are infected with the Agrobacterium and the hemagglutinin gene is transferred into the tobacco plants. Which of the following allows the tobacco plants to express the hemagglutinin gene and produce the hemagglutinin protein?
Choose one or more:
A. the presence of a complete influenza virus genome in the tobacco plants.
B. a universal genetic code.
C. All living organisms produce at least low levels of the hemagglutinin protein.
D. promoters that allow the tobacco plants' RNA polymerase to recognize the gene.

Answer:

The correct answer will be options-B and D

Explanation:

The studies on the history of origin and evolution of life on Earth shows that all the organisms have evolved from a common descendant. This indicates that they possessed the same chemical-genetic or heredity molecule called Nucleic acid whether DNA or RNA.

DNA acts as the universal genetic material as it is present in all organisms except few. The process related to the DNA molecule is the same in all the organisms.

Since in the given question, the transfer of genes to plants via <em>Agrobacterium</em> and then the expression of the gene in plants shows that the passing of DNA has no barrier as  DNA is the genetic material and the enzyme RNA polymerase recognized the gene which could help produce the mRNA from the gene.

Thus, options-B and D is the correct answer.

In a healthy cell, the rate of DNA repair is equal to the rate of DNA mutation. When the rate of repair lags behind the rate of
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The possible fate of the cell that it may turn cancerous.

Explanation:

The cells present in the body generally work in harmony. However, if a cell attains a mutation, it can make it proliferate in the case when it should not do, and make it thrive in the case when other cells are dying. Due to proliferation, the unusual cell produces more abnormal cells also known as cancerous cells. These cancerous cells become more favorable in comparison to the normal cells due to the phenomenon of natural selection. These cells eventually result in a lethal form of tumors.  

In the normal cells, the destructed gene or the damaged cells get repaired easily, in case if the damage is worse the cell dies. A protein known as p53 helps in repairing damaged cells or kills them if the damage is too severe. But in the case of cancer cells, the p53 protein does not work appropriately as they possess a mutated or changed form of p53 protein. Thus, in the case of cancerous cells, the rate of repair lags behind the rate of mutation, which makes the cancer cells thrive and increase in numbers resulting in further destruction.

zmey [24]

Answer:

Interstitial flood bath and surround the cells; present outside the cell

Explanation:

Intracellular fluid: The solutions which are present inside the cell

Extracellular fluids: The solutions that are present outside the cell

Extracellular fluid consists of plasma, interstitial, and transcellular fluid

Interstitial fluid; The fluid that is present in cells spaces and capillaries. It contains the nutreints that are secreted by capillaries through osmosis and metabolic waste of cells.
