Answer:

Nitrogen-fixing bacteria will significantly outnumber those incapable of fixing nitrogen

Explanation:

Nitrogen-fixing bacteria are capable of growing in a medium lacking organic Nitrogen. They convert (fix) atmospheric Nitrogen (Nitrogen is abundant in air) into organic substrates. Hence, they will grow in the enrichment medium described. This is the kind of medium used to isolate nitrogen-fixing bacteria.

Non-nitrogen fixing bacteria require an organic form of Nitrogen for growth. Hence, in a medium with no nitrogen, they will rely on the Nitrogen fixers. This means delayed growth for them.

A culture medium also has limited nutrients, so the slow growers will have little or no nutrients left.

Therefore, the Nitrogen fixers will have competitive advantage and significantly outnumber those incapable fixing nitrogen.

What is the function of the telomere?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

d. to protect the end of a DNA molecule

Explanation:

Telomeres are like the protective shields of our cells' DNA.

Its name, of Greek origin, literally means "final part", and the telomeres are that: the ends of the chromosomes, something similar to the plastic tips of the shoelaces.

But they are very repetitive and non-coding parts of DNA: their main function is to protect the genetic material that carries the rest of the chromosome.

As our cells divide to multiply and to regenerate the tissues and organs of our body the telomere length is reduced, and so over time they become shorter.

When the telomeres finally remain so small that they can no longer protect the DNA, the cells stop reproducing: they reach a state of old age or old age.

Therefore, telomere length is considered a key "biomarker of aging" at the molecular level, although it is not the only one, and in recent years it has attracted the attention of numerous investigations.
