How are bacteria able to adapt to a rapidly changing environment?

Biology
1 answer:
shtirl [24]3 years ago
7 0
They adapt because they can replicate quickly (have many generations within short period of time) and accumulate mutations. Mutations in their genetic information allows them to bypass the host's immune system or resist to antibiotics. These mutations are successfully carried to the next generations of bacteria and allows them to thrive in their new environments. <span />

Which of the following is NOT part of genetic "linkage mapping"?
eimsori [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Linkage mapping is the mapping process in which the genes present on the chromosomes are mapped on the base of their linkage. The linkage mapping helps in calculating how frequent recombination occurs using testcross.

Linkage mapping does not utilize the information that is on DNA sequences, however, it helps in assuming the distance of two linked genes is proportional of the recombination frequency. By the recombination, frequency mutations can be found and study.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

What structure is most important in forming the tetrads?
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- synaptonemal complex.

Explanation:

The tetrad arrangement of the genetic material in an organism is mediated by a highly conserved structure known as the synaptonemal complex.  The synaptonemal complex is formed during the prophase I of the meiosis I which attaches the chromatin of the homologous chromosomes.

The synaptonemal complex is a proteinaceous structure which is formed by the two lateral ladders like elements with a central portion composed of the central element. The chromatin gets attached to the lateral elements while the central a portion bridge space between the two ladders thus help in the formation of the tetrad.

Thus, option- synaptonemal complex is the correct answer.
