Answer:

If a dog's gametes have 33 chromosomes, the somatic or body cells have a genetic content of 66 chromosomes.

Explanation:

Gametes are the sex cells of sexually-reproducing organisms, with the characteristic of being haploid, that is, their genetic content is reduced by half. Unlike gametes, somatic or body cells contain the complete charge of chromosomes, so they are called diploids.

If the genetic content of a dog's gamete is 33 chromosomes, its body cells must have twice as many, which means 66 chromosomes.

An additional note: a dog really has 78 chromosomes, so its gametes have 39 chromosomes.

A substance prepared from killed or weakened pathogens that is introduced into the body to stimulate an immune response is known

snow_lady [41]

The hepatitis B and the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines are made this way. The vaccine is composed of a protein that resides on the surface of the virus. This strategy can be used when an immune response to one part of the virus (or bacteria) is responsible for protection against disease.Jun 28, 2016

Explain how human insulin can be produced using gene splicing.

Margarita [4]

Answer:

The gene for human insulin is inserted into the gap in the plasmid. this is done through the use of restriction enzymes and ligase to insert and close the plasmid. This plasmid is now genetically modified. The genetically modified plasmid is introduced into a new bacteria or yeast cell. The more the cells divide, the more insulin is produced as bacteria divides into two identical daughter cells like in mitosis.

What is the complementary base sequence of the DNA strands of the template strand reads TTGCACG

Nadya [2.5K]

So there are four types of nucleotides in DNA:

Adenine
Cytosine
Guanine
Thymine

And the complements are:

Adenine ⇄ Thymine
Cytosine ⇄ Guanine

Using this information, the complementary base of TTGCACG is AACGTGC.
