While investigating applications of science knowledge, Willy learned that scientists have used genetic engineering techniques to

attach insulin-producing genes to bacterial DNA. These bacteria produce large amounts of scarce human hormones. Scientists predict that hormones produced by bacteria will be inexpensive and will not cause allergic reactions. (SC.7.N.1.5) Scientists developed hormone-producing bacteria because they wanted to

Answer:

develop methodologies to increase the production of hormones for human use

Explanation:

Genetic engineering refers to the manipulation of an organism's genes by using recombinant DNA (rDNA) techniques in order to develop biotechnological and biomedical applications. For this purpose, genetically engineered bacteria carrying recombinant human genes can be used for producing human hormones. For example, recombinant human insulin can be produced by using <em>Escherichia coli </em>strains, and this hormone can then be purified as genetically engineered bacteria grow in order to treat diabetic patients. For this purpose, a bacterial plasmid (i.e., an independent fragment of circular bacterial DNA) is cut with restriction enzymes and then the human gene encoding the hormone of interest is inserted into the plasmid. Finally, the genetically modified plasmid may be readily transferred to the bacterial chromosome and thus increase the supply of the hormone of interest for its use by humans.

What are the hetrotypes
solong [7]

Answer: Hetrotypes are organisms (anything that lives) that can make it's own energy without absorbing it from other organisms. Example: Flowers, they get there energy from the sun, not from eating and absorbing other organisms.

Why is air quality important for growing crops?
NemiM [27]

Less tilling thanks to genetically modified herbicide-tolerant crops also means that farmers spend less time on their tractors, using less fuel and reducing carbon emissions.  Conservation tillage enabled by genetically modified crops has reduced greenhouse gas emissions on farms globally and can help farmers adapt to and mitigate climate change.  In fact, in 2014 5.2 billion pounds of atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions were reduced by conservation tillage and decreased fuel use made possible by genetically modified crops.  That’s equal to removing nearly 10 million cars from roads for one year. 

According to the USDA, adopting conservation tillage can save at least 3.5 gallons of fuel per acre for farmers who would spend less time on their tractors, reducing emissions.  If all of the corn planted in the U.S. (non-genetically modified and genetically modified combined) in 2015 was grown with conservation tillage methods, nearly 308 million gallons of fuel would be saved, equivalent to preventing 6.9 billion pounds of carbon emissions.

Explain how the abiotic factors in an environment have a huge impact on the biotic factors living in an environment.
ipn [44]

Abiotic factors
Abiotic factors are the physical and chemical conditions of an environment. For example : heat, salinity, pressure, light, wind, pH ...

Biotic factors
Biotic factors are all the biological conditions of an environment for a specie/taxa. It can include prey and predator abundance, available food amount, available space, intra and interspecific competition...

The development of organims is under the control of abiotic factors. Some are adapted to heat, cold etc ... The abiotic factors will define which organisms are able or not to live in a specified place.

The living organisms will constitute the biotic factors, which define if and how can an organism live in a specified environment.
