Suppose that a meteorite crashes into earth and a sample of it is taken to a local research lab for analysis. embedded several i

nches within the rocky structure, a microscopic cluster of dormant, spore-like structures is found. the scientists culture some of this material in a standard microbiological nutrient broth, and they are surprised to find many single-celled "organisms" moving around, growing, and reproducing in the broth. the "organisms" behave the same in both daylight and dark conditions, do not require oxygen, and persist under a wide range of temperatures and ph levels. they stop moving, growing, and reproducing, however, when fewer nutrients are available in the medium.

In the given case, the organism most closely resembles a heterotrophic species of Archaea.

Archaea comprise a domain of single-celled microorganisms. These microbes are prokaryotes, they possess unique characteristics that distinguish them from the other domains of life.  

They utilize more sources of energy in comparison to eukaryotes, these vary from organic compounds to ammonia, metal ions, or even hydrogen gas. The salt-tolerant Archaea utilize sunlight as a source of energy, and other species of Archaea fix carbon.  

Archaea was at the beginning observed as extremophiles, thriving in harsh conditions, like salt lakes and hot springs, but they have since been witnessed in a wide array of habitats, like oceans, soils, and marshlands.

Answer:

evolution of life on Earth

Explanation:

Life began on Earth at least 3.5 to 4 billion years ago, and it has been evolving ever since. At first, all living things on Earth were simple, single-celled organisms. Much later, the first multicellular organisms evolved, and after that, Earth's biodiversity greatly increased.

How will you determine which strain is wild type and which strain is mutant? Can you justify your answers using molecular biolog
Levart [38]

Answer: The simplest way is to determine if a strain is mutant is observing morphology, growth rate, double time, etc but it is accurate if you can prove if the strain is deficient in one aminoacid or can't metabolize lactose, etc.

Explanation: A wildtype strain functions normally, for example, can metabolize as a carbon source, glucose, lactose and other sugars, can synthesize all the aminoacids requered for protein synthesis, etc. If a strain suffers a mutation and it is inheritable, the strain become a mutant. Since several mutations can be silent ones, only those that interfere with a process, can be assesed easyly.

For example, if you have several strains and put them in a lactose medium, but some of them cannot growth means that are lactose mutants. Those strains could carry a mutation in genes that encode lactose degrading enzymes or in regulatory genes of the lac operon, etc.
