Ventilation perfusion coupling means that more blood flows past functional alveoli than past nonfunctional alveoli. true or fals

True. Ventilation perfusion coupling is the relationship between the amount of air reaching the air sacs of the lungs and the amount of blood reaching the lungs (mechanisms which maintain the correct proportion between alveolar airflow and pulmonary capillary blood flow). The amount of oxygen that reaches the alveoli is the ventilation. The amount of blood that gets to the alveoli is the perfusion. Alveolar ventilation brings oxygen into the lung and removes carbon dioxide. The mixed venous blood brings carbon dioxide into the lung and takes up alveolar oxygen.

A researcher is using the pUC18 vector to introduce a human gene into bacteria. He exposes bacteria to this recombinant molecule
allsm [11]

Answer:

The results from this experiment conclude that all of the resulting bacteria contain the pUC18 plasmid without the human gene.

The method of genetic engineering might seem very easy but in actual it is a very difficult task and most of the time a person won;t get the expected results. The chances of a vector to actually take up a recombinant DNA are very less. Even after this, the chances of a recombinant plasmid to enter a bacterial cell by transformation are very few.
