5.12

  • The restriction enzyme is able to cut the DNA.
  • A cut in the DNA in a particular spot creates a restriction to the enzyme. 
  • The DNA ligase joins them together. 
  • The restriction enzyme cuts and the ligase enzyme joins


5.11

  • Farmers collect the milk but leaves part of it to breed more cows.
  • A few cows would produce 50 ml but other can produce 150 ml but the average for a cow is 100 ml.
  • Cows produce high yield so the breeding population can become selective.
  • The next generation of cows will produce more milk.
  • The milk yield would be genetic which means that the farmer will select one with good characteristics to breed.


5.10

  • Farmer harvests grain but 10 of those are chosen for breeding. 
  • Plants either have 6,8 or 10 grains per stem which is chosen for breeding. 
  • The amount of grains will increase to 8,10 or 12 in time for breeding. 
  • If the amount of rice increases so does the yield. 
  • The harvest would select 12 grains for breeding.

5.8


The reaction vessel is where the fermentation occurs. Fermenters are used to give the reaction optimum conditions.

5.7

  • The milk sugar are converted into lactic acid which is brought about by 45-46 degrees and to add the lactobacillus. 
  • Lactobacillus produces enzymes and which then becomes milk protein. 
  • The cow produces the milk. 
  • Milk is pasteurized which kills and pathogens that could possibly affect the milk. 
  • This then solidifies and becomes yoghurt. 

5.5

  • Yeast is made from starch, amylase, maltose, maltase and glucose.
  • Starch comes from barleys seeds, wheat seeds and rice.
  • Glucose comes from starch.
  • Starch is converted from maltose and from maltose to glucose.
  • This is the process of sugar.
