jolli1 [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Some potential benefits of genetically modified organisms are as follows:

1. Improvement of the food situation worldwide

2. An increase in yield crops

3. An increase in the nutritional value of food

4. The development of pharmaceutical preparations of proven clinical significance.

Explanation:

On the other hand, some potential risks of genetically modified organisms are as follows:

1. Transgenic food may unfavorably affect the health of consumers.

2. Transgenic food may lead to development of alimentary allergies

3. Synthesis of toxic agents

4. Resistance to antibiotics

5. Other unknown effects of mixed genes on the animals or the environment.

Which description best explain the role of dna in differentiation of the cell within
exis [7]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is C) Cells do not use the same sections of DNA in the same proportions, at the same time in development, which leads to differentiation.</em>

Explanation:

All the cells in an organisms body comprise of the same DNA. However, each cell is specialized to perform a different function because a part of the DNA which is active in one cell might not be active in the other cells. In this way, cell differentiation occurs. The genes which are being transcribed in one cell type may be completely repressed in the other cell type. As a result, variations occur in the structure and function of different cells.

Which of the following statements about metabolism are true?
DiKsa [7]

The true statements are:  

1) Catabolism is the process in which complex substances are broken down, yielding a net output of energy.

Catabolism reactions break down macromolecules (lipids, proteins, nucleic acids and sugar) into smaller units that can be used for further reactions, for energy, for the synthesis of new polymer molecules or be simple waste products.

2) Metabolism is an integrated system in which many of the same reactions participate in degradative (catabolic) and biosynthetic (anabolic) pathways.

Metabolism combine all chemical reactions of an organism. Functions of metabolism include: providing energy form food molecules, synthesis of building blocks of the cell, elimination of the waste products.

3) Anabolism involves the synthesis of polymeric biomolecules and complex lipids from monomers such as fatty acids and nucleotides.

Anabolic reactions are opposite of those in catabolism: these reactions require energy (endergonic processes) for the synthesis of necessary molecules for the cells. That energy is the product of catabolic reactions.
