2. recombinant dna technology uses certain biotechnology processes to insert nonrelated genes into recipient cells. it has provided medicine by producing human insulin in bacterial cells. (a) explain why this method of human insulin production is more effective in bacterial cells than animal cells. (b) discuss why conjugation has an advantage over other means of lateral transfer because it donates genetic material through cell-to-cell contact

Where would you expect to see seedless plants, such as ferns and mosses? a. in a botanical museum, because they are all extinct b. low and close to the ground in a moist environment c. climbing high while circling the branches of another plant d. deeply rooted in a forest with a trunk that reaches 20 meters or more

Choose the incorrect statement (a) the motor end plate membrane is only capable of generating graded potentials, but it is contiguous with the skeletal muscle sarcolemma, which can generate action potentials. (b) propagation of an action potential through the t-tubules into the sarcoplasmic reticulum triggers the release of ca++ into the cytoplasm of a skeletal muscle fiber. (c) the generation of suprathreshold endplate potentials in multiple muscle fibers could be due to the increased frequency of action potential generation at the axon hillock of a single motor neuron. (d) a greater amount of ach would be found in the presynaptic vesicles of a motor unit that fired several action potentials after exposure to botulinum toxin, than in a motor unit that fired several action potentials after exposure to the venom of the krait snake (which contains α-bungarotoxin).

Which of the following is an example of competition a. the leaves of a tree prevent a small shrub from getting sunlight. three species of birds feed a different heights in the same tree. b. three species of birds feed at different heights in the same tree c. zebra and giraffe’s feed on different grassland plants d. cats living in two different homes eat the same brand of cat food.
