Is a plant that has the natural ability to protect itself against predation a genetically engineered organism

Answers

Answer:

No, genetically engineered organisms are engineered by humans. The plant evolved to be this way.

Explanation:

Answer:

If it's a natural ability for the plant, it's probably not genetically engineered. It depends on the plant species/fruit.

Explanation:

Predation: A biological interaction where one organism, the predator, kills and eats another organism, its prey.

Genetically Engineered Organism: An animal, plant, or microbe whose DNA has been altered using genetic engineering techniques.

"Chemical engineers also develop solutions to environmental problems, such as pollution control and remediation. And yes, they process chemicals, which are used to make or improve just about everything you see around you.""Another source mentioned that they use chemistry to solve everyday problems.

You are studying a disorder that is based on the genetic composition at three loci. Assume that a dominant allele at any locus adds 5 units of risk for the disorder and that a recessive allele at any locus adds 3 units of risk for the disorder. Individuals with 26 or more units of risk develop the disorder. The environment does not affect the presence or absence of this disorder. How many risk units will be present in an individual of genotype AABbcc

Answers

Answer:

24

Explanation:

Given that:

At either locus, the expression of the dominant allele increases the risk by 5 units.

The assigned genetic sequence "AABbcc" has three dominant alleles, implying that it increases risk by 15 units.

At any locus, the expression of the recessive allele increases the risk by three units. The assigned genetic sequence "AABbcc" has three recessive alleles, which means it increases the chance by 9 units.

In an individual with the genotype AABbcc, the total number of risk units is = 15+9 = 24. This implies that the person does not develop the disease).

Indicate whether the statements below are TRUE or FALSE.

1. You work with two sugars. Glucose (MW = 180 Da) and Sucrose (MW= 342 Da). You make various solutions of each sugar separately and compare them. When you compare two 1-liter solutions containing these sugars at a 10mM concentration, there are more molecules of sucrose in 1 liter because its MW is higher than that of glucose.

2. When you compare two solutions at the same percentage concentration (e.g. 1%), the molarity (= concentration in mole/liter) is higher for glucose because the molecular weight of glucose is lower.

3. When you have 1 liter of a solution containing 90g of glucose, you must use 171g of sucrose to make a 1-liter sucrose solution with the same molar concentration.

A.

B.
there is a 75% probability that an offspring will have blue eyes and a 25% probability that an offspring will have brown eyes.

C.
there is a 75% probability that an offspring will have brown eyes and a 25% probability that an offspring will have blue eyes.

D.
there is a 100% probability that an offspring will have one brown eye and one blue eye.

Answers

Answer:

C. There is a 75% probability that an offspring will have brown eyes and a 25% probability that an offspring will have blue eyes.

Explanation:

Note that the brown eyes is the dominant trait, denoted by B, while blue eyes is the recessive trait, denoted by b. In all cases of the Punnett square, if there is a dominant and recessive trait, the dominant trait will always come out on top.

The given Punnett square:

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}&B&b\\B&BB&Bb\\b&Bb&bb\end{array}\right][/tex]

Note that there are 3 options (BB, Bb, Bb) respectively, in which there is the dominant trait B (brown eyes). Only in one case is there only the recessive trait b (blue eyes), or a 1/4 chance of obtaining blue eyes. Therefore, there is a 3/4 chance of obtaining a brown eye:

C. There is a 75% probability that an offspring will have brown eyes and a 25% probability that an offspring will have blue eyes.

There is a 75% probability of brown eyes and a 25% probability for blue eyes

Return to the MyPlate food plan calculator, and make an eating plan for someone whose weight and age are different from yours. You can change the person’s age, gender, and activity level. How does this checklist differ from yours? Why do you think the person’s energy needs are different?

Answers

Answer:

Increase consumption of food to increase weight.

Explanation:

There is my friend who is very weak and thin about 52 kg weight and he is one year older than me. I wanted to increase his weight up to 70 kg so I will recommend him to eat more nutritive food having large amount of proteins because proteins made muscles in the body. I suggest him to eat more food and exercise regularly to have a muscular body. The checklist is different from my checklist due to different goals. I wanted to lower my weight and increases the weight of my friend. My friend's energy needs are different from mine due to different goals to achieve.

Answer:

Males generally need more calories than females. Because men have an overall larger body in both height and weight, they need to consume more calories. For a male who is 20 years old, 5 feet and 10 inches, weighs 198 pounds, and has moderate physical activity, he should consume about 2,800 calories per day. That is about 1,000 calories more than my average caloric intake. To consume that many calories, he should eat 2 ½ cups of fruit, 3 ½ cups of vegetables, 7 ounces of protein, 3 cups of dairy, and 10 ounces of grains per day.

Scientists once thought that life spontaneously arose from nonliving things. It took extensive experimentation and the invention of new technology to confirm the tenets that now make up the cell theory. Now, we don't even question that cells are the basic units of life and only come from preexisting cells. What technology had the biggest impact on the development of the cell theory?

A) centrifuge

B) electrophoresis

C) microscope

D) telescope

Answers

Answer:

Microscope.

Explanation:

Microscopes were extremely influential in the development of cell theory, as they allow us to see down to the level of cells and observe them. Through process of elimination, we know it cannot be a telescope (used for observing large, far away objects) or a centrifuge (separates substances based on density). Electrophoresis is moreso used for DNA, and not for the entire cells.
