roduction Which of the following best predicts the effect of inserting this gene into the DNA of a bacterial cell?
А) The recombinant bacterium will produce human insulin using its own transcription and translation machinery.
B) The recombinant bacterium will not transcribe the human insulin gene because this gene is not normally found in the bacterial genome.
C) The recombinant bacterium will transcribe the gene but will be unable to translate the mRNA.
D) The recombinant bacterium will die because it has been exposed to foreign DNA.

Answer:

А) The recombinant bacterium will produce human insulin using its own transcription and translation machinery.

Explanation:

Recombinant DNA technologies refer to molecular biology techniques used to create chimeric DNA sequences by using genetic recombination techniques. The resultant recombinant DNA can further be used for the production of desired gene products (proteins) both in vitro and in living organisms. DNA recombinant techniques involve the insertion of desired DNA regions into an appropriate vector such as, for example, in a plasmid that is amplified in bacteria. For this purpose, the desired DNA fragment is inserted into a plasmid vector by digesting both the target DNA and plasmid insertion sites with an appropriate restriction enzyme. Subsequently, a DNA ligase is used to join both DNA fragments from their ends. Finally, the transformed bacterial (host) cells are selected to express the desired inserted gene.

Social mobility that occurs over the course of an individual's lifetime is called ________ mobility.
Yanka [14]

Answer:

a. intragenerational

Explanation:

Intragenerational mobility by definition: refers to a person's social movements throughout his or her lifespan. It wouldn't be structural or life cycle because those are remotely related to social mobility. Lastly it wouldn't be intergenerational because by definition is means: elating to, involving, or affecting several generations. Which is not related to social mobility at all.

As liquid water freezes, the molecules arrange themselves in a way that takes up more space than liquid water. What would most l
Maurinko [17]

Answer;

As liquid water freezes, the molecules arrange themselves in a way that takes up more space than liquid water. What would most likely occur if the arrangement of frozen water molecules required less space than that of liquid water molecules? A).The density of ice would be greater than the density of liquid water, and ice would not float. B). Ice would form in layers, and liquid water would get trapped in between the layers. Liquid water would have a higher specific heat, making it less likely to undergo vaporization. C).The freezing point of water would decrease, making ice more difficult to form.

What's a disadvantage of the point count method of population monitoring? It leads to the death of the sampled individuals. It o
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

It only records trends in population at fixed locations in the ecosystem.

Explanation:

The point count method is a method used to monitor the populaton of birds in certain places that consists on having someone fixed at one spot and record all the birds that he can spot by sight and by ear, so if he sees or hears a certain bird he records it, to have a close idea of the species of birds that there are in a certain location, the problem would be that it only records trends at fixes locations in the ecosystem.

individual cells can be isolated from a mature plant grown with special mixtures of growth hormones to produce a number of genet
Alexxandr [17]
This process is called Cloning. Cloning is the process of producing genetically identical copy of an organism or a cell, which may occur naturally or created in the lab. Naturally it may occur through processes such as asexual reproduction in organisms such as bacteria; where offsprings that are genetically identical to the parent are created. In the above case, it is done artificially to generate identical plants using growth hormones.
