Answer:
a rat with rabbit hemoglobin genes
Explanation:
When the genome of an organism is modified in the field of genetic engineering,by transplanting the gene(DNA) from one organisms to another,(by vectors) or alteration of the gene components,the resulting organism produced or formed is called Transgenic organism.
This process of genetic engineering makes use of recombination of genes to alter the genome of the transgenic organism.
Thus by transferring to rat ( the DNA for Hb) as the rabbit Hb,the gene( or genome) for producing Hb in tats has been modified by that of rabbit.Hence Rat is said to transgenic.
Besides animals crop plants are also genetically modified.Thus the genome of some crops are altered to resist herbicides and pesticides. Some species of rice (golden rice)have been modified to add certain vitamins to improve the nutritional values.
Genetically modified bananas as edible vaccines are another example
The answer to your question is C!
Nematodes are wormlike organisms which can be seen with naked eye, live in water-filled pore spaces in the soil. Nematodes are in large number in the upper soil layers where organic matter, plant roots, and other resources are most abundant.
The functions of nematodes:
- Free-living nematodes decompose organic material into nutrients and cycled them in the soil by feeding on some bacteria and fungi.
- Nematodes help in distributing bacteria and fungi through the soil and along roots by carrying live and dormant microbes.
- They used as food for higher predators, soil microorthropodes.
- They eat disease-causing organisms, thus suppress their growth.
- They acts as potential bio- control agents.
