Answer:

1, 2, and 5

Explanation:

Viruses are pathogenic microorganisms that lack the ability to thrive and reproduce outside of a living host cell. Their structure is simple - they consist of a nucleic acid molecule surrounded by a protein coating and sometimes an outer envelope. They are too small to be seen by a light microscope.

As they are way smaller than living cells, viruses are smaller than organelles as well. They don't have their own metabolism. Their reproduction is not based on division. They don't have any organelles, including the cytoplasm. They are surrounded by a protein coat called the capsid.

Based on this information, we can see that the correct statements are statements 1, 2, and 5.

According to Darwin's theory of evolution, how do new species evolve?
Vikki [24]

Answer:

According to Darwin's theory of evolution, new species evolved as a result of natural selection.

Explanation:

  • Darwin proposed that speciation could readily occur through the prolonged action of Natural selection.
  • Natural selection allows the 'survival of the fittest' i.e. a more fit organism will have a better chance of survival than the less fit one.
  • The result of Natural selection could be positive,negative or balancing.
  • Evolutionary process in which the genetic changes confer a higher fitness to increase frequency of the organism over time in population is called positive selection.
  • Evolutionary process in which genetic changes decreases the organism's fitness resulting in its disappearance from the population is called Negative selection.
  • It may happen that a mutation benefits hetero-zygotes but not homo-zygotes and alleles maintain a intermediate frequency in population.This evolutionary process is called balancing selection.

A expresses dna that has been derived from another species. 2. dna that has been altered to contain genes, or portions of genes,
OlgaM077 [116]
1. A transgenic organism expresses DNA that has been derived from another species. These organisms have altered genomes and are generated in the laboratory for the purposes of research, for example, the "knock-out" mice are tansgenic mice with a particular gene of interest disabled. 
2. Recombinant DNA is the DNA that has been altered to contain genes, or portions of genes, from different organisms. The DNA molecules are formed in the lab using recombination methods to bring together genetic material from multiple sources and therefore creating sequences that are not found in the genome. 
3. Restriction enzymes are found naturally in bacteria and they cut DNA at specific nucleotide sequences. These enzymes are also called restriction endonucleases, they cleave DNA into fragments at or near specific recognition sites called restriction sites. They are found in bacteria and archaea and they serve to provide a defense mechanism against invading viruses.
4. Biotechnology is the use or alteration of organisms, cells, or biological molecules to produce food, drugs, or other goods. Living systems and organisms are used to make or develop products. Biotechnology enhances cellular and biomolecular processes to develop technologies and product for the purposes of improving life and health. 
5. Polymerase chain reaction is a technique that is used to quickly synthesize billions of copiies of a specific segment of DNA.  It is a quick and a very efficient way to generate many copies of DNA.  The process is applicable when there are small quantities of DNA to analyze. The events of PCR involves; separation of DNA strands, addition of primers, use of DNA polymerase to produce second strand of DNA. 
6. In the process known as transformation, bacteria take up pieces of DNA from the surroundings. Bacterial transformation results from the uptake of naked DNA (DNA without associated cells or proteins). Transformation may also occur naturally in some species of bacteria.

Two black guinea pigs of the same genotype were mated and produced 29 black and 9 white offspring. what would you predict the ge
Archy [21]
Hey there!

It can be assumed that the two black guinea pigs have one dominant gene, black fur, and one recessive gene, white fur. Using BB, Bb, and bb, when you look at this on a Punnett square, one out of the four boxes will be BB, which will end up with black fur, two boxes will be Bb, which will also end up with black fur, and one box will be bb, which will end up with white fur. If the parent guinea pigs were BB, all of the offspring would be black. If they were bb, they would be white instead of black. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)
