First Plasmid is a chromosomal element often a circular DNA.

The uptake of a plasmid from the environment is NOT a common event reason being, bacteria naturally take up DNA from their environment in a process called transformation. Thus if a bacterium takes up a piece of DNA that cannot be maintained in a cell then that cell will not survive.

If you are driving down the road, how do you know that the car is moving (think about your reference point)?

NISA [10]

If your car is changing speed by accelerating or decelerating, or changing directions by turning or hitting a bump, your body can sense these accelerations. You might be pressed against the back of your seat while speeding up or against the car door as you turn for example. If you are cruising at a constant speed, with no changes in speed or direction, you wouldn't be able to feel it. You would need to use your other senses. You could see the scenery going by through the windows, with closer objects moving by more quickly than objects in the distance. You could also hear sounds like the wind rushing by and the hum of the tires rolling on the highway.

The allosteric inhibitory effector BPG binds to both the A form and the F form. Both forms show a lower affinity for O2 in the p

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

HbA; lowers

Explanation:

The BPG in our blood stands for Bisphosphoglyceric acid. It is known as by its name as 2,3-Bisphosphoglyceric acid. It is present in our blood in the red blood cells. It binds with more affinity towards the de-oxygenated hemoglobin as compared to the oxygenated hemoglobin.

Hemoglobin in blood delivers oxygen to our tissues moire efficiently. It is abbreviated as Hb.

Thus BPG binds more tightly towards HbA or adult hemoblobin and which lowers the affinity for oxygen.
