Which of the following is a species?
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

e. All of the above are considered species under at least one species concept.

Explanation:

All of the abovementioned conditions satisfy at least one condition of species definition. Further arguments are given below to support each statement,

a. A species is the <u>monophyletic group</u> of individuals who has a <u>common ancestor</u> which could be <u>distinguished from the closest phylogenetic relative</u>  based on <u>conserved genes</u> (16S in bacteria and 18S in eukaryotes). In the statement above, beetles satisfy this condition.

b. A species is the group of individuals that are capable of <u>exchanging genes or can interbreed</u>. In the above statement, birds who are interbreeding with each other must be a single species.

c. A metapopulation is generically defined as the group of populations who are <u>separated by space</u> but are the <u>same species according to phylogenetic analysis</u>. Thus, the metapopulation of salamanders who are linked by gene flow (gene migration) should be treated as one species.

d. The word "<u>lineage</u>" already conveys the message that these bacteria belong share <u>sample place in the phylogenetic tree</u> and they are capable to adapt the same environmental niche. Therefore, they should be considered as one species. This can be easily tested via 16S rRNA sequencing.

Members of the Deinococcus genus present an interesting conundrum to scientists who try to classify them as either gram-positive
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Bacteria can be classified traditionally into two broad categories according to their cell wall, which are Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negitive bacteria.

Gram-positive bacteria are bacteria that produce a positive result when Gram stain test is performed. It takes up the crystal violet stain of the test, and then show a purple-coloured appearance when seen through an optical microscope. This is as a result of the thick "peptidoglycan" layer in the bacterial cell wall which retains the stain used in the cell after washing it away from the rest of the sample.

Gram-negative bacteria after the decolorization don't retain the violet stain,the outer membrane of gram-negative cells is degraded by the alcohol.The peptidoglycan layer is positioned and between the membrane and a bacterial outer membrane, causing them to take up the counterstain and made appear red or pink.

Therefore, Deinococcus is one genus of the bacterial phylum that have resistant to environmental hazards. They posses thick cell walls that give them Gram-positive stains, but they also posess second membrane that made them them closer in structure to Gram-negative bacteria, which present an interesting conundrum to scientists who try to classify them as either gram-positive or gram-negative.

How do the treatments for cancer work, and why can it sometimes make people sick or weak to have them?
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

Most treatments for cancer use radiation to target the cancerous cells (tumor) and blast radiation in that direction. Because we cannot control the radius of the radiation, other cells are also blasted with radiation and causes sickness in cancer patients.

Which energy conversion takes place when a solar cell is used to light a street lamp?
statuscvo [17]
Choice B is correct.
Solar energy charges the battery or cell; it is then powered through the wires and light comes and heat.
But if the lamp they are talking about doesn't have wire the choose C.
But I am certain it is B
