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.

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

What enzyme allows a retrovirus to make dna from an rna template?.
Zolol [24]

Answer:

Retroviruses or reverse transcriptase

Explanation:

Retroviruses are viruses in which the genetic material consists of ribonucleic acid (RNA) instead of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Retroviruses produce an enzyme known as reverse transcriptase that uses RNA as a template to manufacture DNA, which can then be permanently integrated into the DNA of the infected host cells.

Which of the following events is typical of meiosis but not of mitosis?
marin [14]

Answer:

D. the homologous chromosomes are paired AND the spindle is formed

Explanation:

Meiosis is the type of cell division that results in four daughter cells with each having a reduced number of chromosomes (by half). Both meiosis and mitosis occur in different stages including prophase, metaphase, anaphase etc but meiosis occurs in two series of division processes called meiosis I and meiosis II.

In prophase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes, which are similar but non-identical chromosomes from male and female parents pair to form tetrad or bivalent. This pairing of homologous chromosome is unique and peculiar to MEIOSIS but never mitosis.
