What do you call the person that studies genetics?

It is someone who helps to find cures for diseases, and does stem cell research, DNA pathology, splices DNA, and helps to manipulate DNA. There are many many more functions and applications a Genetics research scientist does on a regular basis, but this is the gist of it.


What are the main features of biotechnology?

Biotechnology involves using biological systems and organisms to develop technologies and products for various applications such as medicine, agriculture, and industry. Its main features include genetic engineering, bioinformatics, and bioprocessing techniques to manipulate living organisms at the molecular level for beneficial purposes. Biotechnology has revolutionized fields like healthcare, food production, and environmental sustainability.


If plants put in 54 ATP of glucose how come you can only get 38 ATP out?

Thanks to the elegant and frustrating 2nd law of thermodynamics, any process that occurs in a system will tend to increase entropy. As often applied in metabolism, this basically means that no energy conversion process is perfect, and you will always lose/waste some energy during conversion. Hence, ~ 54 ATP invested to make glucose, and ~ 38 ATP to break it up. (Or only ~ 2 ATP in anaerobic respiration!) An oversimplification, but that's the gist of it.


What are vascular tissues?

Vascular or conductive tissue is a distinctive feature of the complex plants, one that has made possible their survival in the terrestrial environment. Vascular tissues are commonly known as Xylem & Phloem


Do all cells undergo meosis?

No. Humans undergo mitosis, because two daughter cells contain the same genetic makeup as the parent cellOf course germ cells undergo meiosis. They produce sperms and ova
