Which of the following statements is correct regarding engineering maize plants with a herbicide-resistance gene using Agrobacte

rium-mediated plant transformation?
a. The Ti-plasmid used for this experiment must contain tumor-inducing genes.
b. The herbicide-resistance gene is cloned into the T-DNA region of the Ti-plasmid.
c. The herbicide-resistance gene is cloned into a region outside of the T-DNA in the Ti-plasmid.
d. A guide RNA is used to transfer T-DNA from Agrobacterium to the plant cell.
e. The whole Ti-plasmid containing the herbicide-resistance gene is inserted into the maize genome after infection with Agrobacterium

Answer:

b. The herbicide-resistance gene is cloned into the T-DNA region of the Ti-plasmid.

Explanation:

Ti-plasmid has the ability to introduce part of its DNA (t-DNA) into the genome of host plants. This is very important for the relationship of genetic manipulation in maize plants, with the aim of inducing a gene that promotes herbicide resistance. In addition, T-DNA has many genes that code for the production of plant growth phytohormones, which is extremely important for the cloning process to work. In this case, we can assume that the correct answer for yours is the letter B.

You are comparing the density of sea water to the density of fresh water. (Remember,
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

To know and compare the difference between the density of the fresh water and salt water or sea water require a graduated cylinder, balance, and weighing machine. The graduated cylinders are the containers that have markings on them to measure the volume of the liquid.

First, fill the cylinder with 1000 ml of fresh water which is the measure of the volume. now weight the cylinder filled with the fresh water and then find the difference between filled and empty container divide the mass of the fresh water by its volume, the result is the density of fresh water.

Repeat the process with salt water or sea water. The answer would be sea water has more density than fresh water.

What is the porosity of the sand sample?<br> A)<br> 99%<br> B)<br> 72%<br> C)<br> 34%<br> D)<br> 16%
Anna [14]

Answer:

C) 34%

The other two samples are-

Gravel- D) 38%

Silt- B) 53%

Explanation:

To find the porosity of the sample, you do (volume of fluid)/(volume of substance) X 100. We were given a 300mL sample of sand, and 400 mL of water. You must also take account of how much surface water is found, which you add to however much water you put into the 300mL sample.

Gravel has the highest permeability, and silt has the lowest.

If polar is positive and non-polar is negative then why can’t a polar molecule pass through the non-polar phospholipid membrane
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Because of the chemical and structural nature of the phospholipid lipid by layer the lipid soluble molecule can just pass the lipid membrane and some small molecules can also pass freely.

Explanation:

as we know that the homeostasis is an important process for a  living cell to maintain it self so for the the exchange of materials between the external and internal environment is must so for that it exchange material with the outside environment of the cell.as the cell membrane is semipermeable(mean allow some molecule to pass(lipid soluble) and not others(lipid non soluble) to pass through the membrane.the cell membrane is selectively permeable due to its nature and chemical composition the chemical composition is lipid and  phosphate and glycerol(head) with fatty acid that may b saturated or unsaturated(tail).so finally all those molecule which are polar can not pass through the membrane and  non polar can pass the membrane.The size of the molecule is also a factor on which the permeability depends.

Rue or false? enzymes in the digestive tract catalyze hydrolysis reactions.
Zanzabum
It is true that enzymes in the digestive tract catalyze hydrolysis reactions.  The reaction happens when a molecule of water is added to the amino acids that are already in the digestive tract.
