Which of the following is most clearly a benefit of genetic engineering? a. unpredictable genetic changes in a cow modified to have fewer fat cells b. appearance of early onset arthritis in a genetically modified sheep c. production of human insulin through genetic modification of bacterial genes d. transfer of modified genes from a modified corn plant to a nearby standard corn plant

production of human insulin through genetic modification of bacterial genes

Explanation:

Genetic engineering refers to the changing or modifying of the genes of a plant or animal to produce specific characteristics. The benefits of genetic engineering are reflected in the successful outcome or production of desirable traits as a result of the changes. The risks for genetic engineering include the appearance of unwanted side effects, inability to predict later changes, and unplanned effects on the environment.

atomic number of carbon is 6

electronic configuration of carbon is 1s²2s²2p²

orbital diagram of carbon is as shown here in the image.

"hydrogen bonding is the attraction of h atoms in the water molecule (slight + charge) to o atoms in a neighboring water molecule (slight - charge); it is a weak interatomic force. but it is still strong enough to the water molecules "stick" together."
