Answer:

Gigantism

Explanation:

Gigantism

This is an unusual form of growth and stature as there is hypersecretion of growth hormone (GH), somatotropin prior to puberty. This will cause a further overgrowth of all the body tissues. This condition can be triggered by an anterior pituitary adenoma. It is yet to be ascertained if a genetic link can be the cause.

In Gigantism, there is unusual and increased growth, mainly of the long bones, since epiphyseal closure is not active. This situation causes poor Sexual and mental developments.

option A

Explanation:

In carrying out these experimental procedure, the same restriction enzyme that is used to cut out the gene of interest should also be the same used for the cutting of the plasmid to generate sticky ends. Then the desired gene is inserted into the cut plasmid  then treatment with DNA ligase. Purified DNA ligase is utilized in gene cloning to join/ligate DNA molecules together forming a recombinant DNA. Thus, step 3 should be carried out after step 4.

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is- make a prediction

Explanation:

A hypothesis can be defined as an explanation of any observation which can be confirmed by experiments and prediction is the guess about the future result of any observation.  

As here a biologist hypothesized that the sound produced by frog is mating calls than the next step of the biologist would be to make a prediction about response of that mating call by female frogs. This is called hypothesis prediction method.

Therefore the right answer is- biologist will make a prediction.
