Usually, genes are transferred by bacteriophages, viruses that precisely takeover bacteria cells. Phages inject their own genetic material into the host cell like tiny syringes, compelling it to produce new phages. Throughout this occurrence, genes from the bacterial genome can be combined into the newly made phages. Subsequently, they inject their newly altered genetic load into other bacteria. By this, bacteriophages serve as a transportation, taking up DNA from one bacterium and leaving it into another. Bacteria can also connect through tiny connection tubes wherein they exchange pieces of DNA. They can take up genetic material from the environment as well. There are actually three ways for bacteria to transfer genes. The first one is called Conjugation, which is the transfer of DNA straight from one cell to another through cell-cell contact. Secondly, bacteria are adept at taking up DNA right from their environment and combining it into their genomes.This process is known as natural Transformation. Lastly, Transduction, wherein DNA is transferred from one cell to another by a virus.

A biologist is studying the possible role of earthworms on the fertility of farm soils. As part of this research, the number of
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

Taking more samples from different parts of an acre.

Explanation:

Validity and accuracy of the data is crucial for any serious research. In this particular case, the most accurate data would be obtained if earthworms would be counted on the whole acre. Of course, this would consume lot of time, people, money etc. That's why methods for estimation are used. Estimation best works with large number of samples. Since one acre equals over 4000 square meters, taking only five samples from such a big area is simply not enough for obtaining valid data.

One of the possible ways to improve estimation is to take more samples per acre while avoiding taking adjacent samples because it could be possible that number of earthworms in one part of an acre is increased (or decreased) for any reason, which would lead us to wrong conclusion.

The number of differences between cytochrome c of humans and cytochrome c of other organisms is as follows: Rhesus monkey - 1 di
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

The species that will be most similar to humans will be

1. rhesus

2. pigeon

3. fruit fly

Explanation:

Evolution can be described as the process in which different organism evolve from common ancestors over a long period of time. Evolutionary studies show that some organisms have more shared characteristics as compared with other organisms. These organisms with common characteristics are believed to be closer to one another and evolved from the same ancestors.

In the above question, as there is only one difference between the cytochrome c of humans and rhesus, hence rhesus is the closest to humans. Pigeons has lesser number of differences than fruit fly, hence it is second on the list. Fruit fly has the maximum differences hence it is placed last.

What will a hypothesis become if supported by repeated expermentation
Dovator [93]

Answer:

Answer: The correct answer is- Theory.

Hypothesis can be described as an assumption or proposition, which is made on the basis of certain evidences without knowing the real truth about it. It is tested further for investigation about the proposed explanation with the help of repeated experiments (using certain protocols).

When it becomes supported by repeated experimentation, it is converted into theory.

Thus, theory is the right answer.

Explain the stages of tissue repair and fill in the blanks.
svp [43]

Answer:

a. Following an injury that breaks the surface of the skin. blood vessels dilate as a result of histamine release from mast cells and other damaged cells.

b. The blood forms a clot and upon drying, a scab forms a barriers between the body and the environment, while phagocytes work to clear the underlying debris from the wound site.

c. Blood vessels begin to re-grow into the wound while fibroblasts begin process of replacing the blood clot with Collagen

d. The remodeling phase then occurs as fibrosis and regeneration of tissues may continue for prolonged period of time.

Explanation:

Hello. Although you did not have all the answer options for the blanks presented in the sentences above, it is possible to conclude that the words in bold are the most appropriate to fill these spaces.

That's because when we cut ourselves, the blood vessels on the surface of our skin rapidly dilate, allowing a flow of blood to be observed. This dilation is accomplished by the release of histamine, which is released by mast cells, which are glands that regulate the immune response. At this point, it is important that any impuzera or microorganism, close to the wound site, is removed and this site undergoes cleaning. This is done by phagocytes, which are intended to prevent the cut from becoming the entrance to a bacterial infection.

Then the blood vessels begin to move and grow again across the wound, with the aim of covering this opening. In this comment, fibroblasts begin to apply collagen and replace the blood clot formed to prevent blood loss. Collagen will be responsible for maintaining the skin and tissues that will be rebuilt in the remodeling phase.
