b)False

a) True

What is the function of restriction endonucleases in bacteria?

a) They serve no function.

b)They allow bacteria to genetically recombine with other bacteria.

c) They allow bacteria to engineer new DNA fragments.

d)They provide a defense mechanism against infection by viruses.

Our answer is surely D

d)They provide a defense mechanism against infection by viruses.

Explanation:

Restriction enzyme/restriction endonuclease:

Are produced by bacteria for cleaveing DNA at specific sites. Restriction enzymes cleave foreign DNA in the bacterial cell to fight against infecting organisms.

Pls Note:

Restriction enzyme are used by

bacteria to defend against bacterial viruses called bacteriophages or phages

Describe maximum parsimony.

Burka [1]

Maximum Thrift is a method / philosophy that considers the shortest tree (in number of transformation steps) the best hypothesis about the phylogenetic relationship of a given set of terminals. Transformation step is the cost attributed to the change of character state in a given branch of the tree, be it the change from one nucleotide base to another, amino acids, or the color of an animal's iris. The fewer transformations, the shorter the tree, and therefore the more parsimonious. In this method, what programs do is to investigate as many alternative topologies as possible (or all if their array has less than 25 terminals; see more details below) given their character array. Each will be measured, and the shorter (optimal) trees will be retained as the most parsimonious result.

How do rocks form and change

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Igneous rocks form when molten rock (magma or lava) cools and solidifies. Sedimentary rocks originate when particles settle out of water or air, or by precipitation of minerals from water. Crystallization, erosion, sedimentation, and metamorphism transform one rock type into another or change sediments into rock. The rock cycle describes the transformations of one type of rock to another. The process by which a rock changes form or mineral content as a result of environmental changes such as heat and pressure. a rock that was altered by metamorphism.

How might a substrate of the citric acid cycle block respiration when it is present in great excess

murzikaleks [220]

The substrate of the citric acid cycle which can block respiration when it is present in excess is MALONATE. Malonate inhibits respiration by competing with succinate dehydrogenase for its acitve site. Malonate binds to the active site without reacting, thus competing with succinate. This disrupts the cellular respiration in the cell.
