The restriction enzymes of bacteria protect the bacteria from successful attack by bacteriophages, whose genomes can be degraded

by the restriction enzymes. The bacterial genomes are not vulnerable to these restriction enzymes because bacterial DNA is methylated. This situation selects for bacteriophages whose genomes are also methylated. As new strains of resistant bacteriophages become more prevalent, this in turn selects for bacteria whose genomes are not methylated and whose restriction enzymes instead degrade methylated DNA. The outcome of the conflict between bacteria and bacteriophage at any point in time results from _________.A) frequency-dependent selection.
B) heterozygote advantage.
C) stabilizing selection.
D) genetic variation being preserved by diploidy.
E) neutral variation.

Answer: Frequency dependent selection.

Explanation:

Frequency dependent selection can be defined as evolutionary process by which the fitness of the phenotype or genotype is dependent on the genotype or phenotype of the composition of the given population.

Frequency dependent selection is the result of the interaction between the species( parasitism, competition or predation)

It can also lead to the dynamical chaos when the fitness of the individual becomes very low.

How does nitrogen leave a food chain?
vitfil [10]

Answer: c

Explanation: Plants and animals need nitrogen to make proteins but they cannot take it in from the air. Because nitrogen is unreactive as a gas, it has to be transformed into a new molecule. When bacteria in the soil takes nitrogen from the air, it becomes nitrates. Finally, it can move through the food chain in this form.

What are four characteristics of a good extraction solvent?
ella [17]

A good extraction solvent should have a strong solubilizing capability for the compound of interest, it should be immiscible or only weakly misciblewith the matrix solvent ( the first solution or mixture containing the compound from its natural source, e.g., water/ether. water/ chloroform, etc. If possible the extraction solvent should be non-flammable, non-toxic or of low toxicity, reasonably volatile, and of low eco-impact. Inexpensive and available, of high purity , and shelf stable. If one is determining the compound of interest by UV/Vis spectrophotometry or fluorescence, the solvent should have extremely low absobance or emission at the wavelength of analysis

• high solubility for the solute and low solubility for the carrier liquid.

• density difference vs. the carrier liquid greater than 150 kg/m. ...

• mid-level interfacial tension (5–30 dyne/cm)

• high resistance to thermal degradation.
