Agene for disease resistance in fir trees is transferred to pine trees using modern dna technology. how might this be economically to tree farmers?

Why do mutations in genes affect traits? o a. genes determine what type of mutagens an organism has. o b. genes produce proteins that cause traits. o c. genes affect how many chromosomes an organism has o d. genes code for carbohydrates that influence traits.

You have been asked to lead a demonstration for the undergraduate microbiology lab course about the uses of negative staining when studying bacteria. a "negative" stain does not stain the bacterial cell itself but stains the space between cells. under magnification, the acidic (negativelycharged) nature of the stain will be repelled by the negatively charged bacterial cell wall and willleave the cell colorless in a stained background. negative stains are used primarily to reveal the presence of negatively charged bacterial capsules; therefore, they are also called capsule stains. encapsulated cells appear to have a halo surrounding them. the negative stain procedure does not require heat fixation, which limits any chances of alteration in bacterial cell shape and size. the bacterial suspension is added to a drop of stain, such as nigrosin or eosin, and drawn across the glass slide using a coverslip. nigrosin staining-not safranin staining-of klebsiella pneumoniae will allow for the visualization of the cell shape and the determination of the presence of a capsule. true/false

Dna. we have heard that we are a product of our dna. but where is it? how do we "get" our dna? it is passed to us, from our parents, but in what form? several vocabulary words associated with inheritance are used interchangeably and sometimes, incorrectly. let's see if you can clear this up for someone just learning about inheritance and cell structure.
