Polymerase chain reaction was developed so that scientists could
a. compare the dna fingerprints of different people.
b. create corn plants that product the bt toxin.
c. replicate a gene without using bacteria.
d. choose organisms with desired characteristics for breeding.

Simulating adaptations in a species in this activity, you will discuss in detail the adaptations in a species of rain forest plants. you will build a simulation that explains the changes in the traits of the plant population over 10 years. you will also establish a scientific explanation to justify the changes in the traits of the population, * time to complete: 1-2 hours part a an organism's adaptations are specific to its native environment. an organism that lives in a coniferous forest will have different adaptations compared to an animal that lives in a tropical rain forest. the following graphs show the temperature and precipitation throughout the year for two different forests: a coniferous forest in canada, and a tropical rain forest in belize. evaluate the graphs, and then explain why plants from these two ecosystems will have different adaptations. in your answer, explain the survival challenges that plants face in these two environments.

Enzymes are proteins that speed up reactions by providing an additional energy source supplying additional molecules for the reaction removing inhibitors that slow down reactions lowering the amount of energy required

Consider the venn diagram of plant reproduction. where in this image, areas a - d, would you insert the picture of the orange lily?
