Mortality, or death rate is a measure of the number of deaths in a particular population, scaled to the size of that population, per unit of the time. In this case a factor that would result to an increased mortality rate in a population due to increased competition of water will be the density-dependent factor.
Hi
Below are five major steps of DNA or gene cloning:
1: You chose the gene or specific piece of DNA you need to clone and cut the gene with restriction enzymes from the source organism.
2: You need to choose a vector for the process of cloning and you will cut the vector with same restriction enzymes through which you have cut your target DNA sequence to be inserted into the vector.
3: You place the target gene into the vector and join or seal the gene with vector by using an enzyme called DNA ligase.
4: You introduce the vector with your target gene into a suitable host organism such as yeast or bacteria through the process of Transformation. In this process host organism takes up the vector containing your target gene and starts replicating the target DNA along with their own DNA and thus creating millions of copies of target gene .
5: In the last step, the DNA or target gene is isolated from host organism and purified and is ready to be used since its quantity has been enormously increased through the process of cloning.
The cloning is also called as recombinant DNA technology and is the main process that is being used in the production of insulin for diabetes patients. You can see below image for better understanding.
Hope it help!
The small cell extensions that beat to create an up-ward current are called microvilli.
<h3>What are microvilli?</h3>
Microvilli are small extensions which are found on the surface of the alveoli of the lungs.
The microvilli play an important role in the lungs as the help to remove particles and mucus that may obstruct the lungs as a result of the upward current they create in the lungs from their beating motion.
Therefore, the paralyzed small cell extensions that beat to create an up-ward current are called microvilli.
