A scientist isolated the Hepatitis B surface protein gene and introduced it into the DNA of a banana plant. The scientist tested

the bananas and found that they now contained the Hepatitis surface protein. What conclusion is supported by the results of the experiment?
A. The gene for surface protein was transcribed and translated.
B. The gene for surface protein mutated inside the banana plant’s cells.
C. The gene for surface protein altered the function of other banana genes.
D. The gene for surface protein protected banana plants from bacterial infections.

Answer:

A. The gene for surface protein was transcribed and translated.

Explanation:

Because all living organisms use the same genetic code, it is possible to express genes from one organism in the other. In this case, the DNA sequence that corresponds to the hepatitis B surface protein gene has been inserted into the banana, and the protein is expressed.

For the protein to be expressed, the gene must have been successfully transcribed into an mRNA by the banana plant machinery. This mRNA has then been translated into a protein that means the hepatitis B surface protein is now present in the cell.

(c) find the longest interval during which no tree-cutting samples occurred. what is the first year that no tree-cutting samples
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Longest interval during which no tree-cutting sample occurred: 9 years (1203 AD - 1212 AD)

First year in that interval: 1203 AD

Explanation:

Lets complete the question first.

Q) A study uses tree rings to determine the year in which a tree was cut. The data is shown in the leaf and stem diagram in the ATTACHMENT.

The three digits number in the left column represents centuries and decades AD. The numbers on the right represents the years.

For example, consider the first input in the diagram

119 | 5   6

which means it represents 2 samples.

1195 AD, 1196 AD.

The longest interval with no tree-cutting samples is found from 1203 AD to 1212 AD.

Above 38oC and below 0oC the rate of photosynthesis decreases. Propose a hypothesis to explain why this occurs.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

The right answer is A: Enzyme activity decreases at these temperatures

Temperature influences the activity of the enzymes responsible for assisting with chemical reactions in the Calvin cycle. When temperatures are low, enzyme activity is slow. As temperatures increase, the activity of the enzymes that assist in these chemical reactions also increases to a certain extent, which is the optimal response to temperature. It is at this point that the rate of photosynthesis of plants is the highest.

As the temperature continues to rise beyond this point, the enzyme activity decreases until photosynthesis stops. It is important to remember that the rate of photosynthesis in C3 plants is higher in cold conditions, whereas it is the opposite in C4 plants.
