making the bacteria take on various phenotypic characteristics. Background Information: Genetic transformation is one of the most important processes in biotechnology. Essentially‚ genetic transformation involves the process where a cell (in this lab‚ a bacterial cell) takes up foreign DNA from its surroundings and incorporates it into its own DNA. This gene transfer is accomplished with the aid of a plasmid‚ a

• Why is it important to be objective when receiving feedback? How might you use feedback to revise your rough draft to make it as effective as possible? It is important to be objective when receiving feedback to possibly consider room for improvement. Sometimes you don’t see the errors or mistakes you missed; by receiving feedback you might be able to catch the errors or mistakes because the person that gave you the feedback caught. The one thing you need to consider is that all feedback may

Russia had enough chemical weapons to wipeout most animal and plant life on earth. Biological weapons were deployed in various ways to gain strategic or tactical advantage over an advisory. The United States developed an anti-crop capability that used bio-herbicides or myco-herbicides to destroy enemy agriculture. Fisheries and water-based vegetation was also targeted. Wheat blast and rice blast were weaoponized in aerial tanks and cluster bombs to deliver to enemy water sheds. Even though herbicides
