Answer:

E.coli is a bacterium which is preffered for transformation due to its rapid growth and high efficiency of introduction of DNA molecules into cells.

Tetracycline is an antibiotic used to treat several infections such as cholera, plague, brucellosis, and malaria etcetra.

Plasmid is a small, extrachromosomal DNA molecule present in cell which is seprated from chromosomal DNA and have ability to replicate independently.

When a plasmid resistant to tetracycline and kanamycine is inserted into E.coli, the process is called transformation. E.coli might not be able to survive due to absence of plasmid but the transformed strains having antibiotic tetracycline and kanamycine will probably be able to survive it.

Hence, the culture of bacteria carrying plasmid will be able to survive only.

Good afternoon everyone Umm What is refraction of light hope it's easy good day ✌️

jeyben [28]

Refraction is the bending of light (it also happens with sound, water and other waves) as it passes from one transparent substance into another. This bending by refraction makes it possible for us to have lenses, magnifying glasses, prisms and rainbows.

Here you go, and i hope you have a good day too :)

Resident microflora:

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Resident microflora b. may be responsible for opportunistic infections in immunocompromised

Explanation:

It is almost impossible to found these microorganisms in the stomach because of the acidic conditions, most of them are not adapted to this type of environment. Resident microflora is not transient, is actually permanent. However, resident microflora may be responsible for ooportunistic infections in immunocompromised and they can also increase the intensity of the disease produced by that pathogen.

Define "Fracking" and ways it can alter/upset the water cycle.

Nata [24]

Answer:

Fracking can contaminate water supplies if it is not done properly, because the fracking fluid injected into rock to enable gas to be released often contains chemicals. If the borehole is not properly cased to stop leaks, the fracking water can escape into the aquifer

Atoms that have filled outermost energy levels and do not participate in chemical bonding are called _____.

ratelena [41]

<span>Atoms that have filled outermost energy levels and do not participate in chemical bonding are called Inert Atoms. Remember this by thinking of the definition of Inert; meaning unable or not having the strength to move. So if it an atom has a filled outer level the electrons will be inert.
