Glofish were made by inserting the genetic code for a glowing protein from jellyfish into a regular fish. Which statement best explains why this works?
|
|
All marine creatures have the ability to produce glowing proteins to survive in the water
|
|
|
In addition to the genetic code, glofish take the glowing protein from the jellyfish
|
|
|
The genetic code is universal so the glofish can make the jellyfish protein
|
|
|
Glofish cannot translate jellyfish proteins, so they inherited the trait from other fish
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -These proteins attract other proteins, who make an RNA copy of the DNA. The RNA copy contains the directins for making the protein (GFP). GFP undergoes a chemical reaction and begins to glow. The net result would be detector fish that would start to glow in the presence of harmful substances.
Detailed explanation-2: -This field has come a long way since Gregor Mendel, the father of genetics, first postulated the rule of heredity in the 1850s. Genetic technologies are changing the way we produce food, improving crop yield and preventing catastrophic losses from droughts, floods and pests.
