Answer:

a. an example of a transgenic tomato (also called GMO tomato)

Explanation:

Genetic modification is the process by which an organim's genome is manipulated in order to achieve a desirable feature in such organism. Also called genetic engineering, genetic modification involves using biotechnology to alter an organims genetic composition. The organism whose genome is manipulated is called GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISM (GMO) or TRANSGENIC ORGANISM.

In this case, a tomato with a gene from a fish that helps the tomato resist frost damage is said to be an example of GMO or transgenic organism because the genome of the tomato plant has been manipulated by inserting a desirable gene (resistance to frost) into it.

Leni [432]

C cells of the thyroid gland secrete calcitonin.

<h3>What does C cells of thyroid gland produce?</h3>
  • The thyroid follicle, which is the gland's active component, is encircled by a single layer of epithelial cells, and the lumen is stuffed with colloidal material.
  • It includes parafollicular cells, or C cells, which release calcitonin.
  • The C-cells of the thyroid gland secrete calcitonin, a 32 amino acid hormone.
  • When the concentration of blood calcium has grown over the usual range, the thyroid gland releases the hormone calcitonin, which lowers the level.
  • The parafollicular cells, sometimes referred to as the C cells, of the thyroid gland are the principal producers of this polypeptide hormone, which has 32 amino acids.

Substarte<br>22. What is the effect of excess heat or temperature on an enzyme?​
ioda

Answer:

An enzyme is a protein, and proteins need certain temperatures to function optimally, or even function. Temperature may unfold the protein and may stop its functioning, or it may fold the protein into the correct formation to function. But by the way your question asks, EXCESS heat would denature the enzyme and cease function.
