You live in a city in Florida on the Gulf of Mexico and are trying to figure out why the water at the beaches turned bright gree

n for several months during the summer. You discover the green comes from a photosynthetic organism that grew at great numbers due to fertilizer spill in a nearby river. You have isolated the organism and are now testing its DNA. You extract all the DNA from your sample and find that there are three distinct kinds of DNA. Which of the following organisms could have been responsible for the bloom: fungus, bacteria, or protist? How do you know?

Blue-green algae affect freshwater, and it has a direct correlation to agricultural and urban runoff.

The heavy rains last spring most likely caused Lake Okeechobee to discharge water containing blue-green algae into rivers and canals. The bright green sludge oozed onto docks, dams and rivers and through tributaries into the ocean.

Blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) are a group of prokaryotic, autotrophic microorganisms that contain the photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll and phycocyanin), Therefore, the DNA shows bacteria

Bacteria is the correct answer

¿Qué moléculas conforman las cadenas de nucleótidos?
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

English:

RNA and DNA are polymers made up of long chains of nucleotides . A nucleotide is made up of a sugar molecule (ribose in RNA or deoxyribose in DNA) attached to a phosphate group and a nitrogen base. The bases used in DNA are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T).

Spanish:

El ARN y el ADN son polímeros formados por largas cadenas de nucleótidos. Un nucleótido está formado por una molécula de azúcar (ribosa en el ARN o desoxirribosa en el ADN) unido a un grupo fosfato y una base nitrogenada. Las bases utilizadas en el ADN son la adenina (A), citosina (C), guanina (G) y timina (T).

In a hardy-weinberg population with two alleles, a and a, that are in equilibrium, the frequency of the allele a is 0. 3. What i
zavuch27 [327]

Here, given-

homozygous alleles 'a' have a frequency of 0.3.

Also the alleles are in equilibrium in a Hardy-Weinberg population. The frequency of individuals that are homozygous for this allele are= 0.49.

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium can be defined as the principle which states that the variation in the genetic makeup of a population remains constant and unchanged till there are no external interferences, influencing the population.

Calculation-

p + q = 1\\0.3 + q= 1\\q= 1- 0.3\\\\q= 0.7

Then to find the frequency of the individuals homozygous for this allele the following formula needs to be used-

p^{2} + 2pq + q^{2} =1

p^{2} = dominant homozygous frequency\\2pq= heterozygous frequency\\q^{2} = recessive homozygous frequency\\

Thus, the individuals homozygous for the allele can be calculated by q^{2} = (0.7)^{2} \\= 0.49

Trava [24]
The correct answer is a eukaryotic cell. The eukaryotic cell is a bacteria cell that has the same structure as more complex cells. Eukaryotic cells have many structures that help to maintain homeostasis and also to provide energy for the protein synthesis.
