Question

question 2 (1 point)
one way in which genetically modified mice are developed is by injecting the gene sequence for green fluorescent protein (gfp) into a mouse embryo at a very early stage of development. the injection typically contains genetic material and a biomolecule that catalyzes the reaction.
which statement best classifies the biomolecules responsible for the development of these genetically modified mice?
o a proteins are responsible for carrying the genetic material and lipids are responsible for catalyzing the reaction.
o b lipids are responsible for carrying the genetic material and carbohydrates are responsible for catalyzing the reaction.
o c carbohydrates are responsible for carrying the genetic material and nucleic acids are responsible for catalyzing the reaction.
o d nucleic acids are responsible for carrying the genetic material and proteins are responsible for catalyzing the reaction.

Explanation:

Genetic material is carried by nucleic acids (such as DNA). Enzymes, which are proteins, catalyze reactions. In the context of genetically - modified mice, nucleic acids carry the genetic information (the gene sequence for GFP) and proteins (enzymes) catalyze the relevant biochemical reactions.

Answer:

D. Nucleic acids are responsible for carrying the genetic material and proteins are responsible for catalyzing the reaction.
