what is the nature of science?

The enzymatic systems responsible for the de novo biosynthesis of saturated fatty acids

and polyketide natural products share many similarities including the utilization of

common precursors, similar chemistry, similar structures and overall architectural design.

Compare and contrast saturated fatty acid biosynthesis with polyketide biosynthesis to

explain how two systems are adapted for completely different functions. The former is

involved in primary metabolism and dedicated for synthesis of fatty acids whereas latter is

endowed with the task of creating a diverse range of complex natural products as shown

above.

Construct a genetically modified organism/trait in a fruit based on the following:

Special Trait

Source organism

Target organism

Modified/added trait

Following Questions:

1. How possible is your proposed modification?

2. Can your target organism support the proposed trait?

3.What benefits would a recombinant organism provide to Society?

Natural selection allows certain species to survive. The organisms that survive are those best adapted to their environment. Does natural selection make organisms more complex and perfect?

How has having an opposable thumb helped primates, especially humans, adapt to their environment and survive better than other animals? Please explain further because it is worth 25 points

Evolution is a continuous process. It doesn't stop. The moment evolution ceases, life on earth will vanish. For your task, research at least one example or proof that evolution is happening right now.
