Answer:

Genetic engineering is deliberate modification of genome to gain desired traits.

The main steps of genetic engineering:

Restriction enzymes are used to isolate the required gene leaving it with sticky ends. Sticky ends are a short section of unpaired bases A vector, which is usually a bacterial plasmid or a virus, is cut by the same restriction enzyme leaving it with corresponding sticky ends. The vector and the isolated gene are joined together by ligase enzyme. The vector inserts the gene into required cells. The genes are transferred to animal, plant or microorganism cells, during early development, which allows them to develop with the desired characteristics.

In a carbon dioxide molecule (O=C=O), which statement is true of the electrons?
Svetllana [295]

Answer: Option A.

The electrons are being shared between the carbon and oxygen atoms.

Explanation:The electrons are being shared between the carbon and oxygen atoms because each oxygen share four electrons with the central carbon, therefore carbon atoms have 8 electrons that is shared with oxygen. The oxygen have two shared pairs in double bond and two lone pairs in non bonding. Carbon and oxygen form covalent bond. This satisfies the octet rule because the electrons are shared in both oxygen and carbon octet.
