Answer:

b. polymerase chain reaction (PCR)

Explanation:

  • PCR is the technique that generates millions of copies of DNA starting from a small amount of template.

In this reaction, a molecule of double stranded DNA is denatured and the chains separated. Then, the single strands of DNA are hybridized with a small complementary fragment of DNA called a primer, which is then extended by an enzyme called DNA polymerase by adding complementary nucleotides to the template strand. The result will be two double stranded DNA molecules. If you repeat the process many times, <u>you can amplify the original DNA material exponentially</u>, and the final PCR product will be millions of DNA molecules that can be used for testing.

  • A SNP analysis is a method that allows scientists to detect variations of a single nucleotide in the DNA sequence of different individuals.
  • Electroporation is a technique that creates temporary pores in a cell membrane, allowing the delivery of drugs or DNA to a cell.
  • Gel electrophoresis is a method to analyze the PCR product in which the DNA molecules are separated by size.

The transfer of genes from one organism to another is called genetic engineering. This is new technology used to change the gene
nikklg [1K]

Answer: C) GMOs, genetically modified foods engineered in a lab to produce desirable traits.

Explanation:

The genetic engineering involves the insertion of genes from other organism to the host organism so as to make up genetically modified organism. Some unwanted and default genes are also removed from the organisms so that their body function properly.

The genetically modified foods are the examples of genetic engineering. This is done to produce desirable traits in the food crops. In plants both plants and animal genes are inserted to improve the yield of crops, and to improve their quality. In animals, the insertion of genes of other animals is likely to improve the milk and meat yield.

Two cells in the same organism differ only in the number of chloroplasts they contain. The first cell has multiple chloroplasts,
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Two cells in the same organism differ only in the number of chloroplasts they contain. The first cell has multiple chloroplasts, and the second cell has very few. What would most likely characterize these cells? The second cell would not be able to produce as much food because it could not capture sunlight
