Insect pests often feed on crop plants in farmers' fields. To address this problem, scientists have developed transgenic crop plants that produce their own pest-killing chemicals. In nature, these chemicals are produced by certain bacteria.

Which of the following actions was MOST LIKELY involved in the development of the transgenic crop plants?

A. Sections of the genome of the host plant were spliced and removed.
B. DNA from the host plant was inserted into the genome of bacteria.
C. Recombinant DNA was inserted into the genome of the host plant.
D. The host plant was artificially crossed with an insect pest.

Which of these statements best describes the st. lawrence seaway? the st. lawrence seaway connects the st. lawrence river with the arctic ocean. the st. lawrence seaway provides an important trading route between the u. s. and mexico. the st. lawrence seaway provides an important trading route for the u. s, but has little value for canada. the st. lawrence seaway connects the great lakes, the st. lawrence river, and the atlantic ocean.

Salmonella typhimurium is a food-borne bacterial pathogen that can cause severe gastrointestinal disease. salmonella is often phagocytosed by macrophages that normally destroy bacterial pathogens, but this bacterium is somehow able to prevent the complete maturation of phagolysosomes. salmonella is able to tolerate the low ph of phagolysosomes, and in fact responds to the drop in ph by secreting toxins that interfere with other cellular responses. which of the following differences would you expect to contribute to the survival of a bacterium within an salmonella-containing phagosome, compared to a healthy phagolysosome? decreased activity of acid hydrolases increased activity of acid hydrolases decreased import of h+ ions increased import of h+ ions my guess is decreased activity of acid hydrolases but i'm not sure.

You are working in the lab and are working with the same element but with varying isotopes of the element. you are working with c-11, c-13, c-14, and c-15. what is the average atomic mass of this element? (use periodic table) a- 12 b-15 c-14 d-13
