Biotechnology can be defined as using living organisms and to develop new products that can help human beings. Biotechnology has had an impact as follows:
Medicine: In the field of medicine, Biotech has resulted in the discovery and mass production of 'small molecule pharmaceutical drug'. Other examples include Genetic testing and genetic diagnoses of diseases.
Agriculture: Biotech has led to the development of GMC (genetically modified crops) which was able to bring about Green revolution and increase world production of food approx. 10 times.
In animals, selective breeding and mutation breeding are examples of how Biotech has helped in factory farming methods.
Conservation: Biotechnology is being used to harness the potential of creating energy from plant-based sources such as Plankton and Algae. Biotech has also led to the development of trees and plants which are more resilient to climate change and can help in transforming communities.
Mutations produce random changes in an organism's genetic code. Mutations can occur in non-reproductive cells and then they will not be passed to the next generation, therefore will not contribute to variation. Only mutations that occur in reproductive cells are passed on to the next generations and contribute to genetic variation in a population.
<u>ANSWER:</u>
'Adaptations enhance survival' is true about all adaptions.
<u>EXPLANATION:</u>
- Adaptation is a mechanism in organisms that allows them to adjust with the changes in their current environment or to adapt to their new environment.
- Darwin explained this as a concept of a natural selection process where organisms are susceptible to the variations with the environmental changes.
- These variations which are associated with greater survival and reproductive success are retained in the progeny. This phenomenon is known as Darwinian fitness.
Answer:
...loss of memory and impaired judgement
Explanation:
The cerebrum is the part of the brain that controls mental functioning such as thinking, reasoning and memory.
Answer:
Mitosis is used to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells. The cell copies - or 'replicates' - its chromosomes, and then splits the copied chromosomes equally to make sure that each daughter cell has a full set.
