The penicillin will kill the bacteria that were transformed is not a true statement.

Explanation:

The bacterial culture is genetically engineered with recombinant plasmids containing genes resistant to penicillin, hence when treated with penicillin, the bacteria will not be killed.

Bacteria develops resistance to chemicals or drugs like antibiotics namely penicillin over the course and becomes resistant to the drug action. The effectiveness of the drug will either be reduced or eliminated and the bacteria gains the ability to survive, reproduce and grow and increase their colony.

Recombinant bacteria will undergo genetic mutation and can develop resistance against antibiotics like penicillin. The recombinant plasmids further provides extra protection and prevents the entry of drugs or chemicals into the bacterial cell.

After infection of a cell, a viral particle must transport itself to the nucleus in order to produce viral proteins. What is the
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Double-stranded DNA

Explanation:

If a virus requires to transport its genome in the nucleus to produce viral protein then the viral genome content must be DNA. This DNA of the virus will use the RNA polymerase of the host cell and will first convert into mRNA in the nucleus.

Then the mRNA of the virus will come out of the nucleus because the protein synthesis takes place outside the nucleus and in the cytoplasm. So in the cytoplasm by using host translational machinery the viral mRNA will code for viral proteins. So the correct answer is double-stranded DNA.

Joel notices that there is not much difference between low and high tide. what is happening?
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

This is the spring tide: the highest (and lowest) tide. Spring tides are not named for the season. This is spring in the sense of jump, burst forth, rise. So spring tides bring the most extreme high and low tides every month, and they always happen – every month – around full and new moon.
