Answer: Plato Answer

Explanation:

Microbiologist identified the bacteria that cause the disease, and they also played a role in discovering how it evolved. After analyzing bacteria from samples of people who died from the disease, microbiologist determined that the bacteria had key genetic mutations that made it so deadly to humans. Bubonic plague still occurs around the globe, including in some areas of the Unites States. Microbiologists helped develop the antibiotics now used to treat it.

At the end of the 19th century, The French biologist Alexandre Yersin discovered the germ Yersina pestis. Yersina pestis spread the "Black Death". With the help of modern microbiologist's study with a namatode (C. elegans), genes that may play a part in the transmission of plague have been identified. Along with this knowledge, the microbiologists understood that the bacillus travelled from person to person through the air and from bites from infected fleas and rats. According to biologist Paul-Louis Simond, the bacteria blocks the digestive tracts of the fleas and stimulates them to bite and people repeatedly, injecting and spreading the bacteria. The bacteria hitchhike in immune cells in lymph nodes and the infection begins and transmits to others. Antibiotics are then chosen to fight the bacteria.

The yellow ring inside the bacterial cell represents the bacterial DNA. Why does this structure disappear by step 3 of the lytic
adell [148]

Answer:

The bacterial DNA gets degraded at step 3 of the viral lytic cycle.

Explanation:

Viruses are organisms that are incapable of replicating on their own, hence, they require a living host which they infect and use its replicational ability to reproduce theirselves. The infection cycle of this virus is regarded as its replication cycle. Viruses employ either the LYTIC or LYSOGENIC cycle for infection.

The lytic cycle involves killing of their host cell at the end of the cycle. Generally, the cycle starts with the attachment of my the virus to the cell membrane of its host using specific receptor sites (step 1). It then penetrates the host cell as seen in step 2.

After penetration, the virus then secretes certain degrading enzymes called ENDONUCLEASES that degrades the bacterial DNA. After which the virus uses the replicational and gene expressing ability of the host to transcibe its genetic material and replicate itself. This process called SYNTHESIS occurs in step 3.

Hence, the yellow ring in the image that represents bacterial DNA disappears in step 3 (synthesis stage) because it gets degraded by viral digesting enzymes.

According to the theory of endosymbiosis, the origin of chloroplasts probably involved:_______
bija089 [108]

Answer: Option C  

Explanation:

Engulfing of the small photosynthetic by a larger cell. The theory of the endosymbiotic states that the ingested bacteria  and the host cell can easily become dependent on each other for the survival which results in the permanent relation.

Over millions of year, the mitochondria and the chloroplast have become more specialized and they cannot live outside the cell.

Hence, the correct answer is option C

Why are studies of identical twins important in helping understand interactions between environment and genotype?
anyanavicka [17]
Since hereditarily they ought to be indistinguishable so any contrasts between them will be caused by their condition. Since indistinguishable twins create from a solitary prepared egg, they have a similar genome. So any contrasts between twins are because of their surroundings, not hereditary qualities. Late examinations have demonstrated that numerous naturally actuated contrasts are reflected in the epigenome.
