1.
Cow manure was used as a source of starch degrading bacteria because it contain amylase.
Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down complex carbohydrates molecules(starch)  into smaller molecules, making it possible to absorve those molecules.
Cows have this enzyme in their feces because they don't use it as much.
This will make t<span>he microorganisims in the manure use starch as their main food source.</span>

2. Besides this use, Bacteria that degrade starch can be used in food, fermentation, textile and paper industries.
The genus Bacillus are an example of starch degrading bacteria.

3. Starch agar is selective for starch degrading bacteria because it tests the ability of an organism to produce amylase<span />.
In this medium, there is Gram iodine that will react with the starch in the agar to create blue coloration plate.

D. “The scientific name Asteroidea was given to starfish by the French zoologist de Blainville in 1830. It is derived from the Greek aster, ἀστήρ (a star) and the Greek eidos, εἶδος (form, likeness, appearance). The class Asteroidea belongs to the phylum Echinodermata.”

E. “First, primates have larger eyes than many other mammals of comparable body size (Ross & Kirk, 2007). Having large eyes ensures that a large image is formed on the retina (Walls, 1942; Land & Nilsson, 2002). This large retinal image may then be sampled by many photoreceptors, improving visual resolution. Primates have flexible shoulder joints and and strong clavicles or collar bones that help them use their arms more effectively than other species of animals. Most primate can hold their bodies erect and some species, including humans, can walk on two legs instead of four.”

The correct answer in this question is letter B. Taste buds that are located at the tongue recognize some dissolved chemicals from the food for taste perception. Examples are hydrogen ions giving off sour taste, carbohydrates for sweet taste, magnesium ions give off bitter taste, sodium ions for salty taste and monosodium glutamate for umami taste.

What are some possible consequences of a mutation? Give a specific example for each consequence you list.
Tju [1.3M]
Since all cells in our body contain DNA, there are lots of places for mutations to occur; however, some mutations cannot be passed on to offspring and do not matter for evolution. Somatic mutations<span> occur in non-reproductive cells and won't be passed onto offspring. For example, the golden color on half of this Red Delicious apple was caused by a somatic mutation. Its seeds will not carry the mutation.
</span>

A single germ line mutation can have a range of effects:

<span><span>No change occurs in phenotype.
Some mutations don't have any noticeable effect on the phenotype of an organism. This can happen in many situations: perhaps the mutation occurs in a stretch of DNA with no function, or perhaps the mutation occurs in a protein-coding region, but ends up not affecting the amino acid sequence of the protein.</span><span>Small change occurs in phenotype.
A single mutation caused this cat's ears to curl backwards slightly.</span><span>Big change occurs in phenotype.
Some really important phenotypic changes, like DDT resistance in insects are sometimes caused by single mutations. A single mutation can also have strong negative effects for the organism. Mutations that cause the death of an organism are called lethals — and it doesn't get more negative than that.</span></span>
