Modern genetic technology can be used to modify the genomes of living organisms, a process known as genetic engineering. Genes of one species can be modified, or genes can be transplanted from one species to another. Most transgenic organisms are generated in the laboratory for research purposes. For example, “knock-out” mice are transgenic mice that have a particular gene of interest disabled. By studying the effects of the missing gene, researchers can better understand the normal function of the gene. Transgenic organisms have also been developed for commercial purposes, including food crops like soy and corn that have been genetically modified for pest and herbicide resistance.

Transgenic organisms can be engineered to benefit society. Choose ALL the statements that show the societal benefits of transgenic organisms.

- Golden rice is modified to produce beta-carotene, the precursor to vitamin A to prevent vitamin deficiency in impoverished areas.
- Transgenic animals are being created to provide organs for transplantation, decreasing wait time and rejection rates.
- Transgenic mice are currently being used as models to study heart disease, arthritis, anxiety, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, aging, and Parkinson’s disease. - -
- Genetic engineering is producing disease- and drought-resistant plants that require fewer environmental resources, such as water and fertilizer.
- Genetically modified foods have less risk of allergens than non-GMOs.

Neurotransmitters are messengers responsible for communication between neurons. they are released from synaptic vesicles and are received by receptors.  the communication is referred to as neurotransmission. the following statement is true about neurotransmitters: a. they're stored in synaptic vesicles in the axon.

Science27 of the most iconic, jaw-dropping photos of the earth and the moon from spacedave mosher  oct 1, 2018, 11: 13 am etnasa/flickrapollo 11 astronauts took this photo of earth on july 20, 1969.from the ground, earth looks like a boundless fertile plain that beckons to be explored and exploited.but astronauts would beg -  and even plead  - to differ."you realize that people often say, 'i hope to go to heaven when i die,'" jim lovell, an astronaut who flew on the apollo 8 and apollo 13 missions to the moon, previously  told business insider. "in reality, if you think about it, you go to heaven when you're born."lovell has seen first-hand that we live on a tiny rock hopelessly lost in the void. he's also quick to tell you it's the only one we've got - a  fragile spaceship  for more than 7 billion people: "you arrive on a planet that has the proper mass, has the gravity to contain water and an atmosphere, which are the very essentials for life. and you arrive on this planet that's orbiting a star just at the right distance - not too far to be too cold, or too close to be too hot - and just at the right distance to absorb that star's energy and then, with that energy, cause life to evolve here in the first place. in reality, you know, god has really given us a stage, just looking at where we were around the moon, a stage on which we perform. and how that play turns out is up to us, i guess."humanity has recorded photos of earth from hundreds, thousands, millions, and even billions of miles away, some of them taken by lovell himself.these images not only scientists study our dynamic world, but also understand how a habitable planet looks from afar, which aids the search for  more worlds. most importantly, however, the images underscore our peculiar existence on  a mote of cosmic dust.take a moment to ponder 27 of the most arresting images of earth that humankind has ever captured from space.a
