Answer;

Natural selection

Explanation;

-Natural selection is one of the basic mechanisms of evolution, along with mutation, migration, and genetic drift.Genetic diversity allows the different organisms to have different physiological characteristics. Some of them provides them with genetic resistance, others don’t. The ones which are resistant survive the pesticide, others don’t ; this is known as natural selection.

-Those that are resistant will live longer and have a larger number of offspring (reproductive success). From one generation to another, there will be more and more resistant pests (because of their larger offspring), and less and less pests that are not resistant (because they tend to die young). If the selection process goes on, someday the pesticide will be useless (it will kill no pest).

The pest population is developing genetic resistance to the environmental changes. Pests are evolving resistance to our pesticides at a fast rate. Insects eat our crops so we spray with pesticides. The pesticides kill the majority of pests, but a few survive. These breed with each other and so propagate a version of pest that is resistant to that particular pesticide. We then change our pesticide and the cycle continues. The end result is a "superbug" that is resistant to all currently used pesticides

noname [10]

Answer:

"C" is the answer, Myosin would be able to bind to bind to the exposed binding sites on thin filaments but would not be able to detach

Explanation:

ATP is required for muscle contractions. muscle fatigue results in the decline of muscle force generated over time during metabolic fatigue there is depletion of required substrate such as ATP or glycogen as muscle is not able to generate energy to power contractions. accumulation of metabolites from this reaction other than lactic acid or reactive oxygen species can also induce fatigue by interfering with the release of Ca++ from the sarcoplasmic recticulum.

A DNA fragment is introduced into the lacZ gene of a plasmid, which also contains an ampicillin resistance gene. What is the app
zhenek [66]

Answer: The bacteria transformed with this particular plasmid will form white colonies on the plates containing ampicillin and Xgal.

Explanation: The lacZ gene produces an enzyme called β-galactosidase which is responsible for the breakdown of lactose into glucose and galactose. The lacZ gene is one of the three genes (the other two being lacA and lacY) of the lac operon which is responsible for the transport and mechanism of lactose in E. coli and many other bacteria.

In recombinant DNA technology, when a plasmid is to be used to transform a host cell, such markers are used to help screen the transformed cells from the ones that have not taken up the plasmid. Xgal present in the plates is an artificial substrate which is hydrolyzed by

β-galactosidase into 5-bromo-4-chloro-indoxyl which will dimerize and oxidise into 5,5'-dibromo-4,4'dichloro-indigo. This is a blue pigment which will give blue color to the bacterial cells. Introducing a DNA fragment in this lacZ gene will make it non-functional so it will not be able to produce the enzyme.

Therefore, when a bacterial cell is transformed with a plasmid containing ampicillin resistance gene and a DNA fragment introduced in the lacZ gene and then grown on plates containing ampicillin and Xgal, white colored colonies will appear. The white colonies will show the bacterial cells that have successfully taken up the plasmid with the DNA fragment incorporated in the lacZ gene as this will render the gene non-functional and will not produce β-galactosidase which will breakdown Xgal to give blue colonies. Since the plates contain ampicillin, only the bacterial cells that have been successfully transformed with the plasmid ( the ones that have the DNA fragment and the ones without it) will grow as the ampicillin resistance will give them resistance against ampicillin in the plates. The bacterial cells that have not taken up the plasmid will not be resistant to ampicillin and will not form colonies on the plate.

This is called blue-white screening which is used to identify successfully transformed host cells. A picture of this is given in the attachment, taken from the following website:
