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.

You can measure and describe climate by walking out the door and describing current atmospheric conditions. true or False

Xelga [282]

Answer:

The answer is "False."

Explanation:

The sentence above is stating that you can "measure" and describe climate by "walking out the door and describing current atmospheric conditions." This is "false" because climate cannot be measured by qualitative descriptions or subjectively. Measuring it entails quantity which is objective in nature. An example of this is by using "thermometers" or "rain gauges."

Although you can describe the atmospheric condition or the climate just by walking out the door, you can never measure it.

Thus, this explains the answer.

What does paleontology, biogeography, embryology, and anatomy reveal bout evolution

Ugo [173]

Paleontology deals with fossils and helps in learning the changes of living organisms in sequence.

Biogeography deals with the distribution of species across the mother earth.

Embryology deals with the study of the similarities and difference that exists in the embryos of different species or organisms.

Anatomy deals with the study of the similarities and difference that exists among different species or organisms.

Explanation:

As an organism dies, the remaining of these organisms will be buried in soil. These are fossils. Paleontology supports evolution with the information that are related to the fossils, footprints etc. With these we can study the evolution of organisms and also the changes they undergo. There are some technologies like radiometric dating that can be used for the determination of these rocks and fossils ages.

Charles Darwin suggested that the evolution of species were form their ancestor. Biogeography supports evolution by explaining about the distribution of different species over the earth. Embryology and Anatomy supports evolution by describing about the similarity and difference in the species of living organisms. Embryology deals with the embryos and anatomy deals with the structure.
