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.

Dima020 [189]

Answers with Explanation:

A stream’s velocity is LOWER at the bottom and edges. A stream’s invisible DISSOLVED load represents (on average) about 15% of the mass of material transported. A stream with many rapids and waterfalls is likely a YOUNG (AT THE YOUTHFUL STAGE) stream. In a meander, water flowing around the outside of a curve flows FASTER than water flowing around the inside of the curve. An oxbow lake can form near a MEANDERED stream. A DELTA is likely to form where a stream deposits sediment as it enters another body of water.

1. Biogeography, the study of the geographic distribution of plants, animals, and other forms of life. It is concerned not only with habitation patterns but also with the factors responsible for variations in distribution.

2. weathering and other natural forces break down the substrate, rock, enough for the establishment of certain hearty plants and lichens with few soil requirements, known as pioneer species. These species help to further break down the mineral-rich lava into soil where other, less hardy species can grow and eventually replace the pioneer species. In addition, as these early species grow and die, they add to an ever-growing layer of decomposing organic material and contribute to soil formation. This process repeats multiple times during succession. At each stage, new species move into an area, often due to changes to the environment made by the preceding species, and may replace their predecessors. At some point, the community may reach a relatively stable state and stop changing in composition. However, it's unclear if there is always—or even usually—a stable endpoint to succession.

3. I don’t have the video so I’m going to take. Wild guess. Just look up types of finches

4. Broadly speaking, different species are unable to interbreed and produce healthy, fertile offspring due to barriers called mechanisms of reproductive isolation.
These barriers can be split into two categories based on when they act: prezygotic and postzygotic.

I tried my best hope this helps :)
