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.
Answer:
b. complementary proteins
Explanation:
Complementary proteins are proteins that contain all adequate amounts of the essential amino acids when two or more protein sources that are deficient or low in some amino acids are combined together to compensate for the deficiency of the other. The protein sources can be eaten together in a meal or consumed the same day to get a complete protein.
For example, grains are deficient in lysine, while legumes are usually deficient in methionine. Combination of rice which is a grain, together with beans which is a legume, would give us complementary protein diet, making it a complete protein source with all adequate essential amino acids available.
Answer:
Capsule
Explanation:
In many bacterial species, an extracellular layer composed of a polysaccharide especially a monosaccharide is produced around the cell wall of the bacteria. This extracellular layer is known as the slime layer or the capsule.
The capsule in bacteria serves many purposes like it protects the bacteria from the destruction by the white blood cell in the host, it enables the bacteria to adhere to the substrates and protect it.
In the plant group called the bryophytes also a capsule structure is present which grows in the sporophytic phase and encloses the spores, therefore, the capsule is considered the sporangium of the bryophytes.
Thus, the capsule is correct.
The exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids that may result in new gene combinations on the chromosomes is called the random assortment. It involves formation of random combinations of chromosomes in meiosis and of genes on different pairs of homologous chromosomes by the passage according to the laws of probability of one of each diploid pair of homologous chromosomes into each gamete independently to each other pair.
