Plasmids are used in genetic engineering to reproduce RECOMBINANT genetic material. When a plasmid is inserted a bacterium, the bacterum is encouraged to multiply, creating more copies of the recombinant DNA.

It is a circular piece of DNA that acts as a vector (a carrier of the gene). it attaches to the gene that is to be genetically engineered to form recombinant DNA (combined DNA of two different organisms). It allows the gene to be carried to a host cell to be replicated producing many identical genes. To cut open the plasmid requires an enzyme called restriction endonuclease and to stick the gene into the plasmid requires an enzyme called ligase

Energy is decreasing by 500 because some of it is turned into heat energy.

Explanation:

when an animal/creature consumes another living thing and or something that has energy it is decrease to a certain amount because some of the energy that the original animal/creature had is turned into heat energy because they use some of the energy for themselves to survive and live.

For example:

A flower is a producer because it produces energy and gets it gets eaten by a deer and some energy gets changed to heat and the other is consumed by the consumer (the deer) and so on.

Answer:

Option A. they less severely affect the phenotype, so that individuals can reproduce and transmit them

Explanation:

Polymorphism is the genetic variation found within a population, which favors the process of natural selection. It prefer successful traits in population.

While, mutation is the alteration of DNA sequence of an organism. Mutation can cause loss of traits in the population.
