Answer:
Molecular genetic approaches to the study of plant metabolism can be traced back to the isolation of the first cDNA encoding a plant enzyme (Bedbrook et al., 1980), the use of the Agrobacterium Ti plasmid to introduce foreign DNA into plant cells (Hernalsteens et al., 1980) and the establishment of routine plant transformation systems (Bevan, 1984; Horsch et al., 1985). It became possible to express foreign genes in plants and potentially to overexpress plant genes using cDNAs linked to strong promoters, with the aim of modifying metabolism. However, the discovery of the antisense phenomenon of plant gene silencing (van der Krol et al., 1988; Smith et al., 1988), and subsequently co‐suppression (Napoli et al., 1990; van der Krol et al., 1990), provided the most powerful and widely‐used methods for investigating the roles of specific enzymes in metabolism and plant growth. The antisense or co‐supression of gene expression, collectively known as post‐transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS), has been particularly versatile and powerful in studies of plant metabolism. With such molecular tools in place, plant metabolism became accessible to investigation and manipulation through genetic modification and dramatic progress was made in subsequent years (Stitt and Sonnewald, 1995; Herbers and Sonnewald, 1996), particularly in studies of solanaceous species (Frommer and Sonnewald, 1995).
Water would move from outside to the inside of the cell through the semi permeable cell membrane and cause the cell to swell.
The correct answer is C. A windstorm blew down trees in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in Minnesota on July 4, 1999.
Explanation:
A weather event refers to a specific phenomenon in weather that in most cases is not common but particular and specific, which is different to weather patterns, this includes specific hurricanes, abnormal rain patterns, etc. Considering this, the one that is an example of a weather event is "A windstorm blew down trees in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in Minnesota on July 4, 1999" because this is a specific phenomenon rather than a pattern in weather as int the case of hurricane seasons or permanent weather conditions.
The Miller-Urey experiment showed that simple molecules could have arisen abiotically. This chemical experiment included conditions similar to those present on the early Earth, and tested the origin of life under those conditions.
Water (H2O), methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen (H2) were the chemicals used to produce the results of the experiment, the factors needed for simple life to arise. Given similar conditions on other planets, it's possible that life could arise there as well.
