Answer:

Genetic engineers can transfer a specific piece of DNA or genes from one organism to another organism. This is usually done by adapting recombinant DNA methods. In this approach, a gene of interest is cut with restriction enzymes and then inserted and ligated to the host genetic material. This host could be a bacteria or eukaryote.

Example: Biotechnologists can produce insulin by inserting human gene in E. coli. The bacteria replicate its genome fast and produce protein (insulin) which can be extracted and applied to the person who is diabetic. Similar methods have been used for other purposes.

Answer and Explanation:

Biodiversity composes of different species living in a certain restricted area. It is the variability of living beings in a natural environment, involving all the species on the planet and their genetic material. This variety includes all plants, animals, fungus, and microorganisms living in a certain place, their genetic variability, and the ecosystems these species form.

Ecosystems include all the biotic, physical, and chemical components of nature, continuously interacting and depending on each other. The ecosystem is composed of living and non-living things that interact and depend on each other. These are the biotic and abiotic factors.

Biodiversity, in equilibrium with abiotic factors, provides ecosystem services, which are important for the maintenance of all forms of life, including human beings.

Ecosystem services

When talking about ecosystem services, we are referring to the benefits that ecosystems provide us. There are four types of ecosystem services:

Provision or supply:

These are the products obtained by nature to be used or consumed, directly or with previous processing. Among them, we might mention food, clear freshwater, fertile soils, geotic materials, raw materials (that can be used for clothing, construction), renewable fuels, biochemical compounds, pharmacological/medicinal resources, among others.

Regulation:

Refers to ecological processes that improve life. Among others, we might mention climate regulation, CO² absorption, water purification, air purification, erosion control, natural disaster avoidance such as flooding, soil fertility maintenance, waste recycling, pests/plagues control, etc.

Cultural:

Refers to not the material benefits. Ecosystems provide a recreational place or area to spend time and learn. They provide a spiritual/religious space, are a source of inspiration. Ecosystems are cultural patrimony and the source of scientific knowledge.

Which structure is the basic unit of inheritance

bagirrra123 [75]

DNA is the basic unit of inheritance

A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Genes are made up of DNA. Some genes act as instructions to make molecules called proteins.
