Answer:
- production of vaccine for disease prevention
- production of genetically modified crops
Explanation:
Recombinant DNA is a special type of DNA that has been infused with a foreign gene of particular interest.
With recombinant DNA technology, scientists can study different proteins and see how they can be used for therapy in the area of medicine. <em>The technology has been used to produce several vaccine in the prevention of diseases.</em>
In addition, recombinant DNA technology has been useful in agriculture to produce <em>genetically modified crops with desired traits such as resistance to pests/diseases and high yields.</em>
Answer:
- They allow for more collisions of molecules (enzymes + substrates)
- They lower the amount of activation energy needed to complete the reaction.
- They speed up chemical reactions to form more products
Explanation:
Enzymes are proteinous molecules that serves as catalyst in living systems. Like every other catalyst, enzymes function to SPEED UP the rate of biochemical reactions by LOWERING/REDUCING the activation energy, which is the energy required for a reactant to form product (completion of reaction).
Enzymes like other catalysts causes faster movement of molecules in the reaction i.e. they allow for more collisions of molecules (enzymes + substrates). This causes the rate of reaction to increase and hence, speeden the reaction.
Carlos will have to consume about 63 gram of protein per day.
The dietary reference intake of protein is 0.8 gram of protein per kilogram body weight or 0.36 gram per pound. Carlos is 175 pounds in weight, so he is going to need 0.36 * 175 = 63. Thus, Carlos needs 63 grams of protein per day.<span />
Answer:
Regulatory sites e.g enhancers and silencers
Explanation:
Gene expression involves the synthesis of gene products usually proteins and RNA. However, a certain product might not be needed at all or in small quantity. Gene regulation mechanism is the process that makes this happen. Gene regulation is the mechanism that acts to induce or repress the expression of a gene.
Gene regulation involves controlling the rate and manner of gene expression which is achieved through a set of regulatory proteins called transcription factors. Transcription factors bind to specific regulatory nucleotide sequences and help to turn "on or off" specific genes in the DNA.
Transcription factors can either be ACTIVATORS or REPRESSORS depending on whether they boost or inhibit gene expression. The binding sites for these regulatory proteins called TRANSCRIPTION factors are the regulatory nucleotide sequences on the DNA called enhancers and silencers.
Answer:
3. 2
Explanation:
Zimbabwe is a South African Country. This means Zimbabwe is definitely located around the southern part of Africa. It is also surrounded mostly by land, which means it is a landlocked country.
Also, it is a neighbor to the country of South Africa.
Therefore, the only possible location of Zimbabwe is the location numbered 2.
