Bacillus thuringiensis, a bacterium commonly known as Bt, produces a protein that can killcertain insects that feed on corn crops. Scientists have been successful in transferring the genethat codes for this protein from the bacterium tothe corn, so the corn can now make the Btprotein. Corn borers, insects that eat corn, diewhen they feed on corn containing the Btprotein. A potential problem associated withincreased production of Bt corn is:

(1) corn borers may stop feeding on corn plants
(2) corn borers may develop resistance to the Btprotein
(3) farmers may need to use less pesticide tocontrol corn borers
(4) corn borers may compete with other insectsthat feed on corn plants

One function of the poly-a tail on eukaryotic mrna sequences is to the mrna be transported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. prokaryotic mrna also has a poly-a tail. choose the best explanation of the prokaryotic poly-a tail. a. prokaryotic poly-a tails are composed of a different molecular structure compared with eukaryotic poly-a tails. b. prokaryotic poly-a tails have the same functions as eukaryotic poly-a tails, because this process is highly conserved throughout different species. c. prokaryotic poly-a tails aren't important, because prokaryotes don't have nuclei. d. prokaryotic poly-a tails have other functions,because prokaryotes don't have nuclei.

What is the significance of the protein-lined pits? a. protein attracts other proteins needed for atp synthesis within the cell. b. protein-lined pits are able to transport one molecule at a time down the concentration gradient within the cell. c. the polarity of proteins allows other polar molecules to attach and be transported in the cell by transport channels. d. receptors within the pits allow ligands to fuse and be transported into the cell by endocytosis.
