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.

Neurospora crassa was one of the first eukaryotic microbes to be adopted by geneticists as a model organism. It is a haploid fun
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

A) They have low-maintenance and are easy to keep track of for mutations.

B) The deduction can be "Single Gene Mutation"

Explanation:

After examining the example given in the question on Neurospora crassa and the details about how they reproduce, the following points can be made regarding the questions;

A) It is stated that they form a colony in time and that they are asexual spores and the first reason to choose them would be because they contain somatic cells (which refer to the cells other than reproductive cells) and non-motile gonidia which can multiply by dividing themselves and these properties make the colony's maintenance easy. And since they multiply by division, it is easier to keep track of the occuring mutations.

B) Given the information in the question that the mating is between an albino strain and a wild type, and then between two albino strains which have the same genotype. The results indicate that the strains have gone through single gene mutation during the process.

I hope this answer helps.

Explain the difference between positive and negative control over transcription. drag the appropriate items to their respective
hammer [34]
The type of control is described by the response of the operon when no regulatory protein is extant. In the case of negative regulator, the genes in the operon are distinct unless they are switched off by a repressor protein. Therefore the operon will be turned on essential (the genes will be prcise) when the repressor in inactived. In the case of positive control, the genes are distinct only when an active regulator protein, an activator, is present, Thus the operon will be turned off when the positive regulatory protein is missing or inactivated.
