Answer:
Biotechnology is the use of biological techniques and engineered organisms to make products or plants and animals that have desired traits.
Explanation:
People have used biotechnology processes, such as selectively breeding animals and fermentation, for thousands of years. Late 19th and early 20th century discoveries of how microorganisms carry out commercially useful processes and how they cause disease led to the commercial production of vaccines and antibiotics. Improved methods for animal breeding have also resulted from these efforts. Scientists in the San Francisco Bay Area took a giant step forward with the discovery and development of recombinant DNA techniques in the 1970s. The field of biotechnology continues to accelerate with new discoveries and new applications expected to benefit the economy throughout the 21st century.
In its broadest definition, biotechnology is the application of biological techniques and engineered organisms to make products or modify plants and animals to carry desired traits. This definition also extends to the use of various human cells and other body parts to produce desirable products. Bioindustry refers to the cluster of companies that produce engineered biological products and their supporting businesses. Biotechnology refers to the use of the biological sciences (such as gene manipulation), often in combination with other sciences (such as materials sciences, nanotechnology, and computer software), to discover, evaluate and develop products for bioindustry. Biotechnology products have made it easier to detect and diagnose illnesses. Many of these new techniques are easier to use and some, such as pregnancy testing, can even be used at home. More than 400 clinical diagnostic devices using biotechnology products are in use today. The most important are screening techniques to protect the blood supply against contamination by AIDS and the hepatitis B and C viruses.

DNA is often compared to a twisted ladder. In this analogy, what forms the
rungs of the DNA ladder?
A. Pairs of nitrogenous bases
B. Pairs of nucleotides
C. Pairs of sugars
D. Pairs of phosphate groups
The pairs of nucleotides result in the twisting of strands. Therefore, option "B" is correct.
What is nucleotide base pairing?There are five types of nucleotide bases adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymidine, and uracil. These divide into two classes of nucleotides pyrimidine and purine nucleotide bases. Pyrimidines are uracil, thymine, and cytosine whereas adenine and guanine are purine.
In RNA, adenine, cytosine, and guanine are present but thymine is replaced by uracil. Pyrimidine always binds with the purines through hydrogen bonding. Adenine binds with thymine. Cytosine binds with guanine. But when adenine pairs with uracil in RNA.
Therefore, nucleotide base pairing determines the twisting of the DNA strand depending on the type of nucleotide present.

Answer the next five questions based on the following information. You are studying a particular type of spider and have identified four traits that follow simple mendelian genetics. The B gene governs body color and black body color is dominant to brown. The D gene governs whether or not the spider is poisonous, and poisonous is dominant to non-poisonous. The E gene governs eye color and black eyes are dominant to red eyes. The H gene governs hair type and hairy is dominant to hairless. Indicate your answer numerically not alphabetically. For instance, answer "2" not "two." For each answer that is not a whole number, give your answer as a fraction reduced to the lowest possible whole numbers. For instance, 3/9 would be reduced to 1/3.
How many different types of gametes can be formed by a spider that has the genotype BbDdEeHH?
If you chose a single gamete at random from a spider that has the genotype BbDdEeHh, what is the probability that the gamete would have the genotype BdEh?
You mate a BbDDEeHh spider with a BbDdEEHh spider. What is the probability that one randomly chosen offspring will have the genotype BbDdEEHH?
Answer:
a. 81/256.
b. 9/256.
b. 9 / 256.
Explanation:
The given traits in the question follow the Mendelian character. The cross between the body color where B is responsible for black color and b is responsible for brown color is as follows: Bb × Bb results in the 3/4 black color ( BB, Bb, Bb) and 1/4 brown color progeny (bb). The cross between the poisonous and nonpoisonous trait where D is responsible for poisonous trait and d is responsible for nonpoisonous is as follows: Dd × Dd results in the 3/4 poisonous trait (DD, Dd, Dd) and 1/4 nonpoisonous (dd). The cross between the eye color where E is responsible for black color and e is responsible for red color is as follows: Ee × Ee results in the 3/4 black color ( EE, Ee, Ee) and 1/4 red color progeny (ee). The cross between the hair trait where H is responsible for hairy and h is responsible for hairless is as follows: Hh × Hh results in the 3/4 hairy (HH, Hh, Hh) and 1/4 hairless (hh).
a. The cross between BbDdEeHh spider with a BbDdEeHh spider results in the 3/4black body, 3/4 black eyes, 3/4, hairy, and 3/4 poisonous progeny. Their probability is 3/4× 3/4× 3/4× 3/4 = 81/ 256.
b. The cross between BbDdEeHh spider with a BbDdEeHh spider results in the 3/4black body, 3/4 black eyes 1/4 hairless, and 1/4 nonpoisonous progeny. Their probability is 3/4× 3/4×1/4 3/4×1/4 = 9/256.
Thus, the answer is a. 81/256.
A student wants to perform an experiment to test the effect of different colored lights on the growth of basil plants. She sets up an experiment where multiple basil plants are placed in six different setups; one with red light, one with green light, one with yellow light, one with blue light, one with no light and one with sunlight. In each setup the plant receives the same amount of water, soil, and size of container. What is the independent variable in this experiment
Answer:
light is the independent variable, height of the plant is the dependent variable. Dependent is the effect that based on the independent.
Explanation:
lets break it down. 1) you want to know the effect of something you apply from one thing to another. Let say, if you grow your plants under the sunlight, the plants grow taller. In this case, the sunshine is the independent variable whereas the height of the plant/how tall it can grow is the dependent variable. 2)NOW, before i give the answer. The design of the question is not good for high school students. i think your teacher thinks "light" is the independent variable. 3)However, the question contains confounding variables in it because different lights might produce different effects to the height of the plants. If you want to test if plants are exposed to light grows taller than plants do not expose to light, then you should have all the lights are the same. 4) So, all the plants should be exposed to one certain light to avoid confounding. Confounding means that either red light and sunlight are both produce the same effect whereas the other colors do not help the plants to grow taller. 5)Your teacher should test one light at a time. So, if he is testing with all different colors of light, then light is the independent variable, and height of the plant is the dependent variable.

Compare the movement of oxygen and carbon dioxide across the cell membrane. (4 marks)
help pls answer in paragraph form :)
Answer:
Molecules naturally disperse from areas of higher concentration to lower concentration.
As oxygen-rich (and carbon dioxide-poor) blood travels by a cell the oxygen diffuses through the cell membrane to the area of lower concentration inside the cell. It can do this easily because the oxygen molecule (O2) is very small and has no charge or polarity. The oxygen is used up rapidly by mitochondria. This rapid consumption causes oxygen to constantly move into the cell from the blood.
The mitochondria creates carbon dioxide (CO2) as a waste product of cellular respiration (the process that makes energy for your body). Because the CO2 is of a higher concentration in the cell than in the blood passing by, this gas continually diffuses out of the cell. It too is small and uncharged so it can pass through cell membranes easily.
These movements require no energy (in the form of ATP) on behalf of the cell.
