Answer:

The correct option is option A

Explanation:

Restriction enzymes are endocleases that cleave DNA fragment (of usually four, five or six nucleotide long) at specific sites to produce blunt or sticky ends. They recognize palindromic sequences of host DNA when cleaving the specific sites. The sequences below (on complementary strands) give an example of a palindromic sequences.

5'-CCC║GGG-3'

3'-GGG║CCC-5'

As can be seen above, when read from 5' to 3', the two sequences are the same despite being on opposing strands. And when cut between the guanine (G) and cytosine (C) (as shown above), it produces a blunt end. But when cut as shown below produces a sticky end.

5'- G║AATTC -3'

3'- CTTAA║G -5'

The explanation above shows options C and D are right while option A is wrong (hence the correct option).

Also, bacteria prevent their own DNA from been digested by restriction enzymes by adding methyl group to their restriction sites which prevents restriction enzymes from recognizing restriction sites of their DNA; this generally makes bacterial DNA to be highly methylated. This explanation makes option B right also.

d. Deciduous trees such as most pines do not lose their leaves/foliage in winter.

Explanation:

Yes, Rachel Carson is the founder of the modern environmental movement as well as author of Silent Spring. She was an American marine biologist, author, and conservationist which started the modern environmental movement in order to save the environment form pollution. Yes, the Deciduous trees such as most pines do not lose their leaves/foliage in winter, they only lose those leaves that are too old. They are considered as evergreen plants.

Prokaryotic bacteria are surrounded by a ____________ that contains the ____________ to regulate the entry and exit of materials

lukranit [14]

Prokaryotic bacteria are surrounded by a cell membrane that contains the transport proteins to regulate the entry and exit of materials through the cell, the cell wall to help maintain cell shape and structure, and the capsule, which aids against drying out and protects bacteria from a host's immune system.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Bacteria are the prokaryotic organisms that are found in every part of Earth. These organisms do have an interesting ultrastructure. The coverings of the bacteria are three in layer. They are

A. The outer capsule.

B. The middle cell wall.

C. The inner cell membrane.

The capsule is the outermost covering of bacteria that is formed of different slimy materials. These materials contains hygroscopic substances which can absorb water from the surroundings even when the water concentration in outside is very very low. This layer of protection outside bacteria help them to protect themselves against drying out at dry conditions.

The middle cell wall is formed of polymers of N acetyl glucosamine and N acetyl muramic acid. This layer is chitin in nature and is strong enough to maintain the shape and size of bacteria irrespective of outer conditions.

The innermost layer of bacteria is cell membrane which is formed of proteins and lipids bilayer and this cell membrane contains different transport for proteins which help in transport of different substances like water and nutrients inside the cell by means of active transport or passive diffusion.

jek_recluse [69]

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) associates with a set of proteins to form ribosomes. These complex structures, which physically move along an mRNA molecule, catalyze the assembly of amino acids into protein chains. They also bind tRNAs and various accessory molecules necessary for protein synthesis.
