Describe two applications of transgenic organisms

Biology

ki77a [65]3 years ago

Answer:

Genes of one species can be modified, or genes can be transplanted from one species to another. Genetic engineering is made possible by recombinant DNA technology. Organisms that have altered genomes are known as transgenic. Most transgenic organisms are generated in the laboratory for research purposes.

A genetically modified organism (GMO) is any organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. The exact definition of a genetically modified organism and what constitutes genetic engineering varies, with the most common being an organism altered in a way that "does not occur naturally by mating and/or natural recombination". A wide variety of organisms have been genetically modified (GM), from animals to plants and microorganisms. Genes have been transferred within the same species, across species (creating transgenic organisms) and even across kingdoms. New genes can be introduced, or endogenous genes can be enhanced, altered or knocked out.

Who realized that fingerprints were unique to individuals?
Whitepunk [10]
1. I believe the answer is William Herschel.
 Francis Galton is often credited with the discovery that everyone's fingerprints are unique and that they could therefore be used for identification. However his works is extensively based on the work of Dr. Henry Faulds, who appears to have a better claim to the discovery, along with British magistrate William Herschel. 

2. I believe that the ratio of height to width indicate size and consistency in hand writing analysis. The ratio of height, width and size of letters is among the characteristics of handwriting analysis that entails whether the letters are consistent in height, width and size. 

3. I believe the statement that describes the line quality in handwriting analysis is whether the letters are shaky or flow continuously. Line quality is an indication of speed and fluency; the better the quality, the more skilled, or at least fast, the movement of the pen. 

4. The statement that best indicates pen pressure in hand writing analysis is the down strokes and upstrokes are an even width. 
Pen pressure is the pressure equal or unequal when applied to upward and down ward strokes. The pen pressure of a writer indicates his physical and emotional energy. 

5. I think what is measured in the ridge count is spacing between ridge lines. 
Ridge counting is the the counting of the ridges that touch or cross the line of count drawn between the delta and core of loop patterns. A white space must always intervene between the delta and the first ridge to be counted.

Could you explain the roles and relationships among producers, consumers, and decomposers, and identify the distinguished charac
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

A consumer may also eat other consumers as food. When producers and consumers die, the Decomposer will come along to decompose (break down) the bodies of the dead producers and consumers into smaller chemicals - in short treating them as a food source

When elements combine to form compounds what happens to the properties of the original elements?
exis [7]
The properties of the original elements are completely changed.

For example, in the compound called "iron(II) sulphide", it is composed of iron and sulphur, that are chemically combined together. The element iron is attracted to magnets. Meanwhile, iron(II) sulphide is not attracted to magnets. 

Another example is where sulphur has a yellow colour, but iron(II) sulphide has a brownish colour. As we can see, even the physical properties (colours) are completely different.

Therefore, the properties of the original elements are completely changed when they're combined into compounds.
