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.

Answer:

Below

Explanation:

The light reaction of photosynthesis. ... High-energy electrons, which are released as photosystem I absorbs light energy, are used to drive the synthesis of nicotine adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH). Photosystem I obtains replacement electrons from the electron transport chain.

In three to five sentences, compare systems for digestion in an amoeba to those in a mouse. What specializations exist in the bo

Allushta [10]

Vacuole perform digestion in amoeba while stomach perform digestion in mouse.
Explanation:
Amoeba is a unicellular organism so they lack stomach. The food which is taken are digested in the vacuole of the amoeba with the help of specific enzymes and absorbed by the cytoplasm in order to use for performing different activities, while mouse is a multicellular organism and have the stomach which perform the function of digestion. The digestive system of mouse is similar to humans.

The _____ is the layer of tissue that forms during gastrulation and becomes the animal's organs. a. ectoderm b. mesoderm c. endo

svet-max [94.6K]

<span>The answer is B. Mesoderm. During gastrulation three layers form. Ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. Mesoderm is the middle layer and from that layer a multitude of tissues and organs develop. The mesoderm develops into connective tissues like cartlage, bone, blood, and blood vessels. The mesoderm can also develop into muscle types like cardiac, skeletal, and smooth.</span>

how do engineers use models and earthquakes simulations to test designs for earthquake resistant buildings and structure

Oksana_A [137]

In Earthquake testing, the engineers are using the world largest shake tables to test new construction methods for buildings in the areas prone to the earthquake.

<u>Explanation:</u>

They believed that they have the devised a system to build the taller wood-frame buildings that can still safely withstand even very powerful tremors. To withstand the collapse, the buildings need to redistribute the forces that travel through them during a seismic event.

Shear wells, cross braces, diaphragm, and moment-resisting frame are the central reinforcing the building. Shear wells are the technology of the useful building. That helpful to transfer the earthquake forces.
