Answer:

A

Explanation:

Mutations can occur in either cell type. If a gene is altered in a germ cell, the mutation is termed a germinal mutation. Because germ cells give rise to gametes, some gamete s will carry the mutation and it will be passed on to the next generation when the individual successfully mates.

If the genetically transformed cells have acquired the ability to live in the presence of the antibiotic ampicillin, then what m
V125BC [204]

Answer:

The plasmid must express a gene for ampicillin resistance (the protein product of  the <em>bla</em> gene codes for beta-lactamase, the protein that breaks down ampicillin). The colonies on the ampicillin plate are antibiotic resistant. This means that they have taken up the transformed plasmids expressing both the <em>bla</em> gene and the GFP gene.

Explanation:

The transformation involved the genetic modification of a plasmid to incorporate the gene encoding the green fluorescent protein (GFP) from jelly fish. GFP makes cells glow under UV light.

In genetic engineering, scientists use antibiotic resistance as markers to indicate cells that have been transformed. By incorporating an antibiotic resistance gene such as <em>bla</em> into the vector (plasmid) and then growing the cells in antibiotic media, scientists determine which colonies have taken up the plasmid. Therefore, if the cells survive, this means that they contain the plasmid with antibiotic resistance gene as well as the GFP gene.

How can use of fertilizers affect respiratory health?
nirvana33 [79]

Answer: C) They can contain contaminants that can enter the air during storms or high winds.

Explanation: A is wrong because I got it wrong (Sorry, can't give much explanation there).

B is wrong because water contamination does not directly relate to respiratory health.

D is wrong because fertilizers can impact respiratory health (Explanation seems lack-luster, but I feel like this is common sense).

Hope this helps :)

A trade-off is the right answer.

A trade-off) is a situational determination that includes reducing or dropping a degree, amount or resources of a set in return for accumulations in other perspectives.

People in the Amazon performs the task of logging that is the cutting of the trees and storing the wood onto cars or wagons for the purpose of cleaning the forests for agricultural production to meet the demand of people for food. However, this activity of people in Amazon has caused a major problem of deforestation. Thus, the reduction in biodiversity is a trade-off between protection and economic expansion.
