"A research group is looking for a way to use spider silk, valued for its high tensile strength, to make extremely strong ropes,

but spiders only produce small amounts of silk. They have isolated the gene and have inserted it into cows to produce the silk protein in their milk where the scientists can collect it in large quantities. What is this process called?"

Answer:

The correct answer is "Transgenics".

Explanation:

The missing options of this question are:

A. Artificial selection

B. Transgenics

C. Bioreaction

D. Recombination

The correct answer is option B. "Transgenics"

Transgenics is a term used to describe the artificial insertion of one or more DNA sequences to an organism that would normally not have it. In this example, the term transgenics applies to the cows that serve as hosts for the production of the spider silk. The process transgenics is what gives the name to terms such as "transgenic food", "transgenic plants" or "transgenic animals".

Transcription activators are different from transcription factors in that A. transcription factors prevent RNA polymerase bindin
Nesterboy [21]

Correct answer is option D.

Transcription activators accelerate transcription, while transcription factors assist RNA polymerase binding.

<h2><u></u></h2><h2><u>Explanation</u></h2>

Transcription factors are the proteins which help in proper binding of RNA polymerases in the promoter region of DNA so as to facilitate transcription.

Activators on the other hand, help in the enhancement of the transcription rate.  

Transcriptional activators are basically proteins which bind to the regulatory elements known as enhancers so as to increase the rate of transcription. Enhancers are specific DNA sequences, which may be present in the upstream or downstream region of the gene which is going to be transcribed.

It may be noted here that transcription factors are only present in eukaryotes. In prokaryotes, sigma factors are present instead of  transcription factors to facilitate proper binding of RNA polymerases on the DNA.

Eukaryotic cells achieve compartmentalization through an extensive endomembrane system that weaves through the interior of the c
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

During the evolution of eukaryotic cells, the complexity of size and their functions increased, so that a proportional increase in the surface of the <u>cell membrane</u> would be necessary, making it possible for the cell to perform several functions at the same time.

Through differentiations of the structures, it was possible to develop intracellular membranes in the form of organelles capable of performing various functions at the same time, such as cellular respiration and digestion.
