Seymour Benzer used phage T4 mutants, Experimental evidence that a gene is a linear sequence of nucleotide pairs. Some regions of chromosomes have "hot spots" for mutations. Benzer's experimental approach to fine structure mapping of the rII locus. Generated 1612 spontaneous point mutations and several deletions in rII locus identified two complementation groups, rIIA and rIIB. Mapped locations of deletions relative to each other using recombination. Mapped locations of point mutations relative to the deletions. Tested for recombination between all point mutations within the same complementation group.

A scientist isolated the Hepatitis B surface protein gene and introduced it into the DNA of a banana plant. The scientist tested

omeli [17]

Answer:

A. The gene for surface protein was transcribed and translated.

Explanation:

Because all living organisms use the same genetic code, it is possible to express genes from one organism in the other. In this case, the DNA sequence that corresponds to the hepatitis B surface protein gene has been inserted into the banana, and the protein is expressed.

For the protein to be expressed, the gene must have been successfully transcribed into an mRNA by the banana plant machinery. This mRNA has then been translated into a protein that means the hepatitis B surface protein is now present in the cell.

Help me on problem 14 b please

If the food is limited to the squirrels then that could impact how well they reproduce which could impact their numbers which therefore could impact the food source for the foxes which eat them. Fewer squirrels means the foxes will slow down on their reproductive numbers as well...they are all linked!

Explain how the taiga is different from the other forest ecosystems.

serg [7]

Taiga is a winter type forest. Taiga is different then other ecosystems because other ecosystems are not has cold has Taiga. Taiga ecosystems can get has low has -70 °F (or -60° C)

But Taiga ecosystems can get has hot has 104°F (or 40°C)

Taiga ecosystems can get colder then tundra (which is another very cold too)

Some things that make the Taiga ecosystems unique is:

Evergreen trees, the Taiga is COVERED with these.

Hope this helps!
