Explain this diagram?????????​
Simora [160]

Answer:

the diagram explains the process of DNA digestion and DNA ligation, which is usually used in molecular cloning techniques  

Explanation:

Molecular cloning can be defined as the process used to synthesize multiple copies of a particular DNA fragment. Molecular cloning requires the insertion of a foreign DNA fragment into an appropriate vector (e.g., a plasmid) through the action of specific enzymes that serve to cut and ligate DNA fragments. DNA digestion and DNA ligation use specific restriction enzymes and DNA ligases, respectively, in order to insert the foreign DNA fragment. For this purpose, restriction enzymes that generate single-stranded overhangs are preferred to create sticky ends which bind by complementary base pairing. Subsequently, a DNA ligase enzyme joins the DNA fragments together in order to create recombinant DNA molecules. DNA Ligation is often achieved by using a specific T4 DNA ligase, while there are many restriction enzymes that generate sticky-ends (e.g., BamHI, EcoRI, BaI228I, etc).

6. Why does meiosis increase genetic variation in the offspring, but mitosis does not? (1 point)
brilliants [131]
Meiosis involves crossing over where chromosomes exchange genetic segments, resulting in different sets of chromosomes. Each time an egg or sperm created, it is different due to this recombination. Mitosis on the other hand is non-sex cells replicating exact copies of themselves which lead to no genetic variation as they aren't involved in producing offspring.

What is a gene? Can someone tell me what is Euchromatin? Is Euchromatin also called a Gene? What's the difference between these
julsineya [31]

Answer:

In biology, a gene is a basic unit of heredity and a sequence of nucleotides in DNA or RNA that encodes the synthesis of a gene product, either RNA or protein. During gene expression, the DNA is first copied into RNA.

Euchromatin is a lightly packed form of chromatin that is enriched in genes, and is often under active transcription. Euchromatin comprises the most active portion of the genome within the cell nucleus. 92% of the human genome is euchromatic.

The genes present in heterochromatin are usually inactive. The genes present in euchromatin are either already active or will be active during growth. Heterochromatin is transcriptionally-inactive. Euchromatin is transcriptionally. (This one here is the difference)

The mass of some corn plants at the end of their growth period was 6 tons per acre. Most of this mass was produced from?
Aleksandr [31]
<span>The majority of mass of any plant is produced from water from the soil and carbon dioxide with sunlight from the air. 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + sunlight ---> C6H12O6 + 6 O2 ... The gluclose (C6H12O6) is a simple sugar that becomes the biomass of the plant. Other minor contributors to the mass are from fertilizers (mostly N, P, and K) and minerals.</span>
