Answer:

RNA polymerase

Explanation:

The RNA polymerase is an enzyme used in the transcription of genes in DNA to make mRNA. RNA polymerase binds on the promoter region based on the sequences  that can be identified by the enzyme’s active site. A mutation can distort the interaction between the promoter region and the enzyme’s active site hence throttle up or inhibit transcription.

Answer:

In 1928, Fred Griffith performed an experiment revealing that genetic material can be passed between two different stains of the bacteria.

Explanation:

In 1928, Frederick Griffith, a British bacteriologist conducted some experiments to develop a pneumonia vaccine. He used mice and two strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria, known as R and S in his experiments.

The live R strain bacteria had a rough appearance and were nonvirulent. When he injected R bacteria into mice, they did not cause pneumonia. The live S strain bacteria had a smooth appearance due to their polysaccharide coating and were virulent. When injected into mice, the mice died as a result of pneumonia. The polysaccharide coating protected the S bacteria from the immune system of the mice.

Griffith then injected mice with heat-killed S bacteria (the heat killed the bacterial cells) and they did not cause pneumonia in mice. But when he injected a combination of non-lethal R bacteria and non-lethal heat-killed S bacteria into mice, the mice died from pneumonia. When he examined the blood sample from the dead mice, he found that the blood sample contained live S bacteria. This finding leads him to the conclusion that the nonvirulent R-strain bacteria had been "transformed" into virulent and lethal S-strain bacteria by taking up a "transforming principle" from the heat-killed S bacteria.

This experiment was then used for additional experiments conducted by Avery, McCarty, McLeod and then by Hershey and Chase. They found the evidence that the transforming principle from Griffith's experiment was actually the hereditary material, DNA. The DNA of the S strain bacteria had survived the heating process. This DNA that contains the genes for the production of the protective polysaccharide coating was taken up by the R strain bacteria. The transformed R strain bacteria were now protected from their host's immune system and this process of transferring genetic information between different bacterial strains is known as transformation.

Vomiting is a common symptom of the stomach flu - it starts a few hours after you're exposed to the virus so there isn't a certain amount of times you will vomit but drinking plenty of fresh, clean water will help you keep hydrated! :)
