What is a recombinant plasmid?

Biology
1 answer:
Mkey [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

DNA plasmid that contains both "old" and "new" gene segments and confers new characteristics to the organism in which it is placed.

Explanation:

During the genetic engineering procedure, which aims at producing an organism with better and desirable characteristics, a DNA called PLASMID is usually used to convey the gene of interest into the organism.

A plasmid is a self-replicating extra-chromosomal DNA found in the bacterial genome. The plasmid becomes a RECOMBINANT PLASMID when a foreign DNA of interest is inserted into it, in order to act as a vector (carrier). Therefore, a recombinant plasmid is a DNA plasmid that contains both "old" i.e bacterial genome and "new" i.e foreign gene segments and confers new characteristics to the organism in which it is placed.

Break up big molecules into smaller pieces, so they can be absorbed more easily by the body.

Enzymes also are very picky catalysts, and will only “speed up” certain types of reactions.

Hope this helps you!! (:

Mark is on a strict diet. He has cut down on fats in order to lose weight. Because Mark is severely restricting his fat intake,
timofeeve [1]
<span>Mark may be getting lower amounts of nutrients and vitamins, namely omega-3s and omega-6s. This would directly affect the brain and normal body functions because the body needs vitamins/nutrients to thrive. This could affect the chemical balance in his brain, resulting in depression/schizophrenia/other issues, including eating disorders. Cutting down on fats might also result in overeating carbs and protein, which leads to an overbalance of nutrients -- and a host of other health issues.Not getting enough fat could also affect bone growth.</span>

VARVARA [1.3K]

The right answer is A.

Insecticides are active substances or phytosanitary preparations with the property of killing insects, their larvae and / or their eggs. They are part of the family of pesticides, themselves included in the family of biocides, both of which are regulated in Europe by specific directives.

Some pestiids such as organoclorides are broad-spectrum, ie they act on several insects at the same time (whether they are good or bad).
