Elena L [17]4 years ago

Explanation:

Hearing a lot the word "adaptation" when it comes to movies following a plot line of a book, for example, I would say "adaptation" is a noun and "adapting" is a verb

Following the same logic, probably B.An adaptation can be passed on to the next generation through genes, while "adapting" is a process of aquiring new skills ( like adopting a learned behaviour till it seems geneticaly borrowed) by learning new behaviours

Answer:

An adaptation can be passed on to the future generations through genes. Adapting is the process through which an organism learns a new behavior.

Explanation:

An adaptation is a genetic mutation occurring through natural selection so a species develop characteristics that help them survive. This changes most often are reflected in physical changes in the species. Adapting means to learn a new behavior in order to more successfully face a situation. It occurs not through genetic mutation but by learning and it's not passed through genes.

Which of the following is/are required for the polymerization reaction catalyzed by DNA polymerase III?
Temka [501]

Answer:

D. I, IV, VI, and VII

Explanation:

DNA polymerase III has both 5' to 3' polymerization activity and 3' to 5' exonuclease activity (the proofreading). DNA pol III requires divalent magnesium ions for its polymerization and proofreading activities. Here, the magnesium ions serve as cofactor.

DNA polymerase III cannot start the process of synthesis of new DNA strand de novo and uses an RNA primer synthesized by primase enzyme. The polymerization activity of DNA polymerase III elongates the RNA primer in 5' to 3' direction. The primers are removed by 5' to 3' exonuclease activity of DNA polymerase I.

During polymerization, the DNA polymerase III uses existing DNA strand as a template. The four dNTPs namely deoxyadenosine triphosphate (dATP), deoxycytidine triphosphate (dCTP), deoxyguanosine triphosphate (dGTP) and deoxythymidine triphosphate (dTTP) are added to the RNA primer according to the sequence of DNA template.

A chemical engineer wants to design a novel enzyme that is capable of catalyzing a reaction in a hydrocarbon solvent instead of
aalyn [17]

Answer:

A few obstacles would make it tough to accomplish this objective. In the first place, the polypeptide backbone is characteristically polar. Hardly any proteins would be dissolvable in a non-polar hydrocarbon. Moreover, to keep up the dissolvability of this protein, most of its amino acids would need to contain hydrophobic or non-polar R groups.

Then again, its charged or polar R groups would need to connect with one another or be covered in the core of the protein away from the hydrocarbon solvent. This would put noteworthy requirements on both the idea of the R groups and the structure of the protein that could take part in substrate recognition or catalysis. By and large, this is certainly not a reasonable objective.

The krakato eruption destroyed life and left behind volcanic ash. A large chemical spill can also destroy life. How would succes
amm1812

Since chemical spills are very harmful to aquatic/land life for both plants and animals, plants probably wouldn't grow back and animals could be mutated or even killed, decreasing the population of that species. A volcano eruption, can be both good and bad, since a volcano can kill animals and plants, but ash from a volcano is extremely fertile, so plants can regrow, which in turn brings animals back so they can feed on those plants.
