Answer:

B. Genetically engineered mammalian cells

Explanation:

Herceptin is a monoclonal antibody that binds (attach) to specific antigens in cancer cells to destroy them. This antibody is used in the treatment of different types of cancers including breast and gastric carcinoma, in which HER2/neu protein is overexpressed. Herceptin targets HER2/neu receptors present in cancer cells to kill them. HER2/neu is a protein signaling receptor involved in cell proliferation, thereby this antibody works to selectively target cells that have an excess of HER2/neu receptors such as gastric and breast cancer cells.

Describe and explain how the rate of photosynthesis is affected by light intensity​
Tema [17]
Increasing the light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis, until some other factor - a limiting factor - becomes in short supply. At very high light intensities, photosynthesis is slowed and then inhibited, but these light intensities do not occur in nature.
