Answer:
The coral reefs of the Caribbean are thought to be under threat
Explanation:
Overfishing threatens over 60 percent of Caribbean coral reefs. Declines in coral cover and increases in algal cover have been observed across the region. This analysis identified about one-third of Caribbean reefs at high threat from overfishing pressure and about 30 percent at medium threat.
Plant absorb nitrogen gas from bacteria in the soil
Answer:
DNA plasmid that contains both "old" and "new" gene segments and confers new characteristics to the organism in which it is placed.
Explanation:
During the genetic engineering procedure, which aims at producing an organism with better and desirable characteristics, a DNA called PLASMID is usually used to convey the gene of interest into the organism.
A plasmid is a self-replicating extra-chromosomal DNA found in the bacterial genome. The plasmid becomes a RECOMBINANT PLASMID when a foreign DNA of interest is inserted into it, in order to act as a vector (carrier). Therefore, a recombinant plasmid is a DNA plasmid that contains both "old" i.e bacterial genome and "new" i.e foreign gene segments and confers new characteristics to the organism in which it is placed.
