The substance is required by all living things and is involved in many processes that occur in all living things.
Insulin is very important. If there is excess sugar in the body, the pancreas releases insulin to take the sugar and transport it to other cells to make atp
Answer: The correct option is A.
Explanation:
This is because inbreeding is the mating or organisms that are genetically related in one way or the other and it go against interchanging of DNA. This normally result in recessive traits in a population and bring about the same traits.Therefore there is more possession of two identical traits in the population and there is decrease in genetic variation because of the similar traits in offsprings genome.
Answer: Fruit will not brown. Browning requires a functional enzyme.
Explanation:
Genetic engineering refers to the manipulation of an organism's genes. Scientists use a variety of molecular tools and techniques to cut up and join genetic material from different species and to introduce this new hybrid DNA into another organisms. <u>The overall goal is to add or remove an organism's genetic makeup for the better, or to transfer DNA code from one species into the other, in order to form new combinations or heritable genetic material.</u>
Enzymatic browning is a reaction that occurs in fruits which results in negative effects on characteristics such as taste, color, and nutritional value. This reaction is a caused by phenolic compounds' oxidation by an enzyme called polyphenol oxidase, which causes the generation of dark pigments. This is often seen in apples which are rich in this enzymes and susceptible to this enzymatic browning.
If through genetic engineering, the gene encoding the enzyme responsible for the apple browing is removed, then this enzyme cannot be produced by the apple. Consequently, apples will not brown<u>,</u> because there will not be a polyphenol oxidase that oxidates the phenolic compounds.
