Dr. J. Hipsterman has been trying to understand the virulence of the nasty skin pathogen, Iowackius hockious, which causes skin

abrasions on humans. Dr. Hipsterman has identified a gene within the I. hockious genome that is predicted to encode a protein on the surface of the bacterium tha breaks down skin tissue. Dr. Hipsterman uses molecular genetics to knocks out this gene, which is called sorE, and then evaluates the importance of sorE for I. hockious virulence using a competition study. The animal model for I. hockious is the chicken-hawk. Dr. Hipsterman applies to the skin of a chicken-hawk a 1:10 mixture of wild type I. hockious relative to mutant I. hockious lacking only the gene sorE (i.e. the bacterial mixture contained 10-times more mutant than wild type). After 24 h, Dr. Hipsterman recovered all the bacteria from the skin of the chicken-hawk, and analysis revealed that there were 5 times more mutant sorE than wild type sorE. From these data alone, what should Dr Hipsterman conclude about the importance of sorE for I. hockious virulence? A. sorE encodes a gene that increases I. hockious virulence B. sorE is not a virulence gene C. sorE encodes a gene that decreases I. hockious virulence D. the competition experiment described here does not address the importance of sorE for I. hockious virulence

Answer: A. sorE encodes a gene that increases I. hockious virulence

Explanation:

Notice that at the start of the study, there were 10 times mutant gene lacking sorE compared to the wild type. After 24 hours, it reduced to 5 times compared to the wild type, this is an indication that sorE is a virulence gene and it's absence reduces the virulence of the bacteria.

How do ETS reactions produce ATP?
Norma-Jean [14]

ATP synthesization -  Simple and complex lipids or carbohydrates are used to produce ATP through redox reactions. After the hydrolysis of complex carbohydrates, glucose and fructose are formed and the triglycerides are metabolized to form glycerol and fatty acids. ATP is then synthesized by oxidative phosphorylation and photophosphorylation during the energy production with in the living organisms. ATP production usually takes place in the mitochondria of the cell.  The important pathways by which ATP is generated are glycolysis, the citric acid cycle (or the Kreb’s cycle), and the electron transport chain (or the oxidative phosphorylation pathway).  In these three cycles of  cellular respiration  adenosine diphosphate (ADP) is converted  to ATP and energy is released  from molecules.

Which angle in AABC has the largest measure?
igomit [66]
It is b) angle B.

The opposite angles of opposite sides are proportional to each other. So the smallest side’s opposite angle will be the smallest angle, and in this case, since the largest side is 12, the opposite angle, B, will be the largest angle.

Due to the short-term environmental change of a drought, much of the soil in an area can no longer support a species of wildflow
Fofino [41]

This change best illustrates the 3rd answer choice, Loss of Habitat.


The plants aren't migrating, but are rather only surviving in areas where there is enough moisture to support life. The wildflowers are not adapting to grow in dryer conditions, and the species is not going extinct, as there are still some areas where the plants can get enough moisture.


Hope this helped!

Which type of urine specimen does not include the first and last urine in the sample? cna
icang [17]

Clean-catch specimen is the type of urine specimen that does not include the first and last urine in the sample.

A clean-catch urine specimen is a sample of pee. It is required if your doctor wishes to check your urine for bacteria that could be inflicting a urinary tract infection. A clean-catch specimen is a technique for obtaining urine from the skin that does not have a lot of bacteria in it.

To determine what sorts of bacteria (germs), if any, are present in your child's urine, a clean catch urine specimen is taken (pee). For your child to receive the required medical care, the test must be performed correctly. A sample of pee is a clean-catch urine specimen. When your doctor wishes to check your urine for germs that could be causing an infection in your urinary tract, it is necessary.
