The correct answer for the given question above would be option B. Thale cress <span>is a plant that is genetically engineered with genes that break down toxic materials, so this would be a transgenic type of organism. By definition, transgenic organisms undergone genetic engineering wherein genes of a particular specie is modified or transplanted into another. Hope this helps.</span>

<span>The choices for this question are:
</span>-is biologically magnified in ... are recycled in
-is dissipated in ... flow through
-flows through ... are recycled in
-is continuously supplied to ... are continuously removed from
<span>-is recycled in ... flow through</span><span>

On a global scale, energy flows through ecosystems whereas chemical elements are recycle in ecosystems. So the answer is the third option. 

Energy flows through the ecosystem. Most energy comes from sunlight and it is transformed into chemical energy by autotrophs. When they are consumed by heterotrophs the energy is passed on, until it dissipates as heat.  
</span><span>
Chemical elements like carbon and nitrogen, on the other hand, are cycled between biotic and abiotic factors in an ecosystem. This is not possible for energy. These chemical elements come from abiotic factors like the air, light and soil. They are incorporated in the biomass of the photosynthetic organisms and are consumed by other organisms. They are changed back into their inorganic form when the organism dies and are broken down by decomposers and the cycle goes on. So they are constantly being recycled. 

In summary, energy needs a continuous source to be able to maintain and sustain the energy flow in the ecosystem. Chemical elements, on the other hand, are just recycled through processes between abiotic factors and biotic factors. </span>

Enhancerless GFP reporter constructs used in research conducted in mice contain a generic mouse gene promoter (TATA box) followe
balandron [24]

Answer:

the reporter gene can randomly insert near to an enhancer sequence which can induce its expression

Explanation

Enhancers are genetic sequences capable of activating gene expression by binding to specific proteins (e.g., transcription factors). Enhancers can regulate the expression of nearby genes located thousands of nucleotides away, i.e., over several kilobases away. In the human genome, it is well known that enhancers are scattered across the 98% of the genome. In this case, it is expected that the reporter GFP gene construct is randomly inserted near an enhancer sequence (a 10% chance of insertion), thereby being regulated by that enhancer.

The early ancestors of horses showed the presence of digits on their limbs, while modern horses have hooves. What are likely pos
klio [65]

The correct answers are evolution, genetic mutation and selection.

The early ancestors of horses showed the pressence of digits and now the modern horses have hooves in their limbs. There could be many reasons for the pressence of hooves horses.

These could be due to the genetic mutations, which could have changed the shape of the digits in the limb. Sudden change in DNA can cause mutation and this mutation can change the phenotype of the horse.

There are chances that evolution took place over a period of time that changed the character in the horse.

Natural selection can also be one of the reason for the change in the phenotype of the digits on the limb of the horses.

crimeas [40]

This indicator is an estimate of the amount of space on the earth that an individual uses in order to survive using existing technology. This space includes the biologically productive land and water area that produces the resources consumed by that individual such as food, water, energy, clothing, and building materials. It also includes the amount of land and water required to assimilate the wastes generated by that person. In other words, the ecological footprint measures a person's demand on the bio-capacity of the Earth.
