What kind of cellular changes would be expected in oil-eating microbes moved from a warmer environment to the arctic?

Biology
1 answer:
lesya [120]3 years ago
6 0

The oil-eating bacteria helped in the removal of Gulf oil spill, but it is not that easy in Arctic region. The Arctic waters also comprise of cold-adapted, oil-consuming microbes. Though, they function at a diminished rate of metabolism in comparison to the warm water species.  

In the Arctic Ocean, the ocean currents do circulate, but over a larger surface area in comparison to the Gulf of Mexico, so it would take much more years for the bacteria to come back to the similar location. The cold temperatures also influence the nature of the oil, developing it more viscous and thicker that is tougher for the bacteria to dissociate.  

An oil spill in such regions takes even longer to dissociate, as the levels of oxygen in such regions go way down and bacteria cannot live in such conditions easily.

STEP 1 Review the imaginary strand of DNA below. Note the complementary base pairs. A G C A A T C C G T C T T G G T C G T T A G
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The complementary strand is given below (in italics):

A G C A A T C C G T C T T G G T C G T T A G G C A G A A C C

<em>T C G T T A G G C A G A A C C A G C A A T C C G T C T T G G </em>

Explanation:

As per the rules of complementary base pairing, Adenine will bond with Thymine (and vice versa) and Guanine will bond with Cytosine (and vice versa). Three hydrogen bonds will form between G and C, whereas two hydrogen bonds will be formed when A and T bind to each other.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

Is it easy for breeders to produce mutants?
Eva8 [605]
It depends! If we're talking about something like a cute little Matlipoo, your answer is yes. These are technically considered mutants as they posses characteristics that are not found in either of the original populations (Maltese + Poodles). Not all mutations are bad. Those who survived the bubonic plague are said to have a mutated gene that enabled them to be more resilient against the illness. 

In the case of inbreeding the mutation can prevent offspring from being born by either causing sterility in the parents, or it will cause a miscarriage so the fetus is terminated naturally in the beginning. Sometimes the offspring is still born (deceased at birth), or has debilitating symptoms like in cerebral palsy. So there is a chance that the offspring may never be born, making it impossible for a breeder.

Mutations can also be spontaneous, so a breeder might mean well by selecting two animals from different family trees, but both of the parents could produce mutant offspring together.

This question is pretty vague, you should ask your teacher for clarification.

This is a dna fingerprint exhibiting samples from a victim, two suspects, and the crime scene. which of these dna fragments is c
Amiraneli [1.4K]

The question shows the results of a gel electrophoresis, which shows DNA fragments of the victim and two suspects, suspect 1 and suspect 2. A comparison of the five DNA fragments of the victim, A to E, reveals that the victim and suspect 1 both have the DNA fragment b.

A visual comparison of the gel electrophoresis results should reveal that Suspect 1 has a DNA fragment that matches victim DNA fragment B.<span>The visuals can be seen in the attachment.</span>
