D: Neutral mutation. It says the eyesight remains normal. Therefore it cannot be harmful. Changing eye color has no effect on the ability to find food. Eye color is just an appearance.

What is a recombinant plasmid?
Mkey [24]

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.

PLS ANSWER FASTTT What is the difference between Love waves and Rayleigh waves?
MAXImum [283]
<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

\huge\boxed{\text{Option D}}

<h2>_____________________________________</h2>

\huge\textbf{Releigh Waves}

A Rayleigh wave is a seismic surface wave causing the ground to shake in an elliptical motion(they move in a surafce rolling manner). A seismic wave means a earthquake wave, so Rayleigh wave is realted to the motion of earth and its crust. Rayleigh waves are formed when the particle vibrate with the combination of both transverse and longitudinal waves. This vibration gives rise to a wave which moves elliptically backwards that is Rayleigh Wave.  Rayleigh waves are really fast they move with the spped 10 times faster than the speed of light.  Rayleigh waves are generated by the interaction of P or compressional and S or shear waves(P ans S Waves are inside the Earths Crust) at the surface of the earth.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2>

\huge\textbf{Love Waves}

Love waves or Q waves or Quer Waves are surface seismic waves that cause horizontal shifting of the Earth during an earthquake. A Love wave is a surface wave having a horizontal motion only. Love waves are formed when the earth particles move in a transverse wave manner creating a wave travelling perpendicular to the direction the wave.
