Answer:

Viruses can be used to insert genetic material into cells during gene therapy

Explanation:

Gene therapy is a process used to introduce genetic material into cells to compensate for abnormal genes or to make a beneficial protein. If a mutated gene causes a necessary protein to be faulty or missing, gene therapy may be able to introduce a normal copy of the gene to restore the function of the protein.

A gene that is inserted directly into a cell usually does not function. Instead, a carrier called a vector is genetically engineered to deliver the gene. Certain viruses are often used as vectors because they can deliver the new gene by infecting the cell. The viruses are modified so they can't cause disease when used in people.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]
It’s either A or B. I would probably say A because, In biochemistry, chemosynthesis is the biological conversion of one or more carbon-containing molecules and nutrients into organic matter using the oxidation of inorganic compounds or ferrous ions as a source of energy, rather than sunlight, as in photosynthesis. Chemoautotrophs, organisms that obtain carbon from carbon dioxide through chemosynthesis, are phylogenetically diverse. Groups that include conspicuous or biogeochemically-important taxa include the sulfur-oxidizing gamma and epsilon proteobacteria, the Aquificae, the methanogenic archaea and the neutrophilic iron-oxidizing bacteria. Many microorganisms in dark regions of the oceans use chemosynthesis to produce biomass from single carbon molecules. Two categories can be distinguished. In the rare sites where hydrogen molecules are available, the energy available from the reaction between CO₂ and H₂ can be large enough to drive the production of biomass.

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

consists of solid rock

Explanation:

Bed rock are solid rock material usually below the soil surface.

They are found at the ocean floor under sediment and other solid materials. Saprolite are bed rocks that have been weathered they are found above the bed rock overlaining it,

saprolite have different composition because it has gone through chemical weathering.

Above saprolite are soil and other loosed particle.

when the depth and structure of a bed rock is determined it help tell about the history of a place.
