Phytopharmaceuticals are pharmaceutical compounds that are found in plants. They can be naturally occurring or a result of biote

chnology. Recently, scientists created genetically modified (GM) corn that produces the antibiotic penicillin. The seeds of this GM corn contain a large amount of the antibiotic penicillin, making the cost of producing the penicillin much cheaper and making the method of delivering it to patients in need much easier. Given the benefits of this GM corn, which of the following may be a concern regarding its production?
A.The GM corn may develop infections from bacteria that are sensitive to the antibiotic.


B.The GM corn might pass resistant genes to other organisms, like birds, that may eat the seeds.


C.Because corn uses the wind for pollination, people allergic to penicillin may be at risk for exposure to the antibiotic in the air.


D.Increased availability of the antibiotic may increase the development of antibiotic resistance in the infectious agents penicillin is used to treat.

Body Type: DNA code- AGTGCCTTC RNA code- ___________ Amino Acid sequence (aka protein)- ___________________ Body Type?- ________
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer would be:

  • mRNA sequence - UCACGGAAG,
  • amino acid sequence - Ser-Arg-Lys, and
  • body type - dwarf

By central dogma, we know that nucleotide sequence of deoxyribonuceic acid (DNA) form the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide chain.

Nucleotide sequence of DNA is first decoded in the form of nucleotide sequence of mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) under the process of transcription. The sequence of RNA is complementary to the nucleotide sequence of template strand of DNA. In addition, uracil is present in RNA in place of thymine.

tRNA (transfer RNA) then deciphers the codon sequence of mRNA into amino acid sequence of polypeptide sequence by the process of translation.

Now, given DNA sequence is AGTGCCTTC.

so, the mRNA sequence would be UCACGGAAG.

Codon sequence is UCA CGG AAG.

So, the amino acid sequence would be Ser-Arg-Lys.

Hence, the trait of showman performer would be dwarfism.

Codon sequence chart is attached for reference.

Heme iron is absorbed better than non-heme iron. <br><br> a. True <br><br> b. False
Marat540 [252]
Heme iron and non-heme iron are the two types of iron. Heme iron comes from animal proteins (meat, fish, seafood), while non-heme iron form rice, wheat,..food that is plant-based.
Heme iron is easier absorbed by the body than the non-heme iron and it the best source of iron<span> for people who are </span>iron<span> deficient. So, the given statement is true. It is true, that heme iron is better absorbed than non-heme iron.</span>
