Describe how advances in DNA technolgy are assisting the work of those in medical fields

Biology

shutvik [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Advances in DNA technology have allowed for treatments such as gene therapy in the medical field. Nowadays, there are tools like the CRIPSR-Cas9 - harnessed from bacteria's immune system- that can nip a ‘bad’ region of DNA, which is responsible for disease, and replace it with a proper functioning bit. This is how genetic disorders are going to be addressed in the near future in mainstream medical facilities.

Recombinant DNA technology is being used to create clones of transgenic organisms that produce products of significance in the medical fields. An example is incorporating the insulin gene in bacteria genome. These clones of modified bacteria colonies secrete insulin protein that is purified and injected in diabetic persons to lower their sugar level to normal.

Which wavelength in photosynthesis which has the highest amount of energy?
algol13
Violet and blue have the high frequencies (thus energy) of visible light. Red will be the least energy but lowest energy. And remember, chlorophyll is green because it reflects green into our eyes. Green is therefore not absorbed, so not used for photosynthesis.

A malaria outbreak causing a Lily's frequencies to change is an example of
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

A malaria outbreak causing allele frequencies to change is an example of <u><em>natural selection.</em></u>

Explanation:

Natural selection is a type of selection in which those organisms are favoured to live and reproduce which are better adapted to live in an environment. Due to natural selection, the allele frequencies of a population will tend to change with the passage of time.

When the outbreak of malaria occurs, those organisms which do not catch malaria are able to survive and pass on their characteristics to their offsprings. the other organisms die and do not reproduce. This will cause changes in the allele frequencies.
