Answer: The genetic engineering process

Explanation: The gene for human insulin is inserted into the gap in the plasmid. This plasmid is now genetically modified. The genetically modified plasmid is introduced into a new bacteria or yeast cell. This cell then divides rapidly and starts making insulin.

Answer:

The gene for human insulin is inserted into the gap in the plasmid. this is done through the use of restriction enzymes and ligase to insert and close the plasmid. This plasmid is now genetically modified. The genetically modified plasmid is introduced into a new bacteria or yeast cell. The more the cells divide, the more insulin is produced as bacteria divides into two identical daughter cells like in mitosis.

Answer:

According to the diagram, what is occurring in step 7 is cytokinesis, with the separation of two daughter cells, following cell division.

Explanation:

Cytokinesis is a process that occurs at the end of mitosis or meiosis, being the final step of cell division. This mechanism allows the separation of the two daughter cells, with equal distribution of cytoplasm and formation of cell membrane, differentiating into two independent cells.

In the diagram it can be observed (step 7) that after the division process —in yellow— two arrows pointing to two cells are evident, which implies the process of cytokinesis.

Prior to the cytokinesis process, karyokinesis occurs, which is the separation of nuclei and formation of the nuclear membrane.

In animal cells, karyocinesis occurs by the effect of a ring of actin and myosin that helps to force the separation. In the plant cell, the fragmoplast is formed, a septum that induces the separation of the daughter cells.

The other options are not correct because:

Cell growth occurs in G1 phase.
Cell preparation occurs in interphase.
DNA replication occurs in S phase.
Mitosis is represented in yellow, and involves 4 phases.

When the ball reaches maximum height, its kinetic energy is at a. nextreset?

Anton [14]

Please fix your question, and this belongs in science, not biology. When the ball hits it's maximum height, it's kinetic energy will change to zero, and it will be converted to potential energy.

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

One advantage of models is that all the mice are exactly alike except for color, enabling the control of all variables except the one being studied. Models are also easier to work with than live mice. One disadvantage of using models is that they do not have the same smell and behaviors as real mice.

Another advantage is that models can be reused for the experiment for a longer period of time with less maintenance.
