A. Protein, DNA, and RNA from the S bacteria are all necessary for bacterial transformation to occur.
B. Protein from the S bacteria is necessary for bacterial transformation to occur.
C. DNA from the S bacteria is necessary for bacterial transformation to occur.

Answer:

The answer is C. DNA from the S bacteria is necessary for bacterial transformation to occur.

Explanation:

When heat-killed nonvirulent S bacteria will be treated with enzymes that degraded DNA it will destroy the genetic information required for cell survival. DNA is very essential for an organism and is called the molecule of life. DNA degradation is also a part of cell death called apoptosis. That's why all the samples grew except the one where DNA was enzymatically degraded.

When the comb jelly, Mnemiopsis leidyi, was introduced into the Black Sea, its population exploded to 500 comb jellies per cubic
nikitadnepr [17]

The answer is invasive species.


Invasive species are species that are not native to specific ecosystem, but they have a capability to spread widely through the ecosystem, This way they can threaten native species of the ecosystem or cause environmental harm. 

<span>After being introduced into the Black Sea, they greatly affect local ecosystem. In the new area, they have no natural predators and are able to spread. If they spread beyond the area they are introduced, they become invasive species which can overgrow native biotopes and are a great threat to the local biodiversity. This could lead to the extinction of some native species.</span>

Fact for each one.
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

The answer is down below.

Explanation:

Estuaries

-More than 80 percent of all fish and shellfish species use estuaries as primary habitat or as a spawning or nursery ground.

-Estuaries are often called the “nurseries of the sea”.

-Estuaries and their surrounding wetlands are bodies of water usually found where rivers meet the sea.

Abiotic factors

In an estuarine ecosystem, these factors are light, oxygen, water, nutrients, temperature, salinity, and space. So just divide these into three.

Biotic factors

These include plants and animals such as shrimp, fish, and oysters
