The correct answer is B. The defect is carried forward to the progeny of the hamster.

Germline mutations occur in germ cells which later become sex cells and occur as a result of change in the DNA of the germ cell. The germline mutations unlike the somatic mutations are hereditary in nature as they occur in the gametes which participate in the process of fertilization. Each gamete donates half of the genetic material to the zygote and affects only one of the two homologous chromosome i.e. the one which is passed on from a mutated parent's germ cell. This creates a 50% chance that  the mutated chromosome is passed to the progeny.The germline mutation is carried by the entire organism but only half of the gametes have the mutation. The germline mutation occurs during the meiosis at the embryo stage so it cannot be lost in the progeny.

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The possible  outcome on the progeny of the hamster would be that the defect is carried forward to the progeny of the hamster. Hope this answers the question. have a nice day.

Bacteriorhodopsin pumps protons across the bacterial plasma membrane from the cytosolic side to the extracellular side of the me
julsineya [31]

Answer: Option B.

B. The chromaphore retinal absorbs a photon of light, causing a double bond in retinal to isomerize from trans to cis configuration.

Explanation:

Bacteriorhodopsin is a protein used by archaea or half bacteria that pumps proton across membrane by using the light energy from sun to move protons across membrane. It is found in purple membrane of archaea cells which is known as two dimensional crystalline patches.

It captures photon energy through chromophore retina which is covalently bound and transporting the photons against their electrochemical gradients from the cytoplasm to the extracellular space.

A food handler is permitted to work with highly susceptible populations without prior approva from the local reluatory authorty
sergiy2304 [10]

So to be a food handler, <u>you require a license. Almost all states require</u> that at least one person in a food truck business or any type of business(where there is unwrapped foods or food preparation) <u>is required to have a food handling permit</u>. It is also referred to as a license, certificate, card, or credentials. You get the point.

How do scientist collect data?
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

1. Define a Question to Investigate

As scientists conduct their research, they make observations and collect data. The observations and data often lead them to ask why something is the way it is. Scientists pursue answers to these questions in order to continue with their research. Once scientists have a good question to investigate, they begin to think of ways to answer it.

2. Make Predictions

Based on their research and observations, scientists will often come up with a hypothesis. A hypothesis is a possible answer to a question. It is based on: their own observations, existing theories, and information they gather from other sources. Scientists use their hypothesis to make a prediction, a testable statement that describes what they think the outcome of an investigation will be.

3. Gather Data

Evidence is needed to test the prediction. There are several strategies for collecting evidence, or data. Scientists can gather their data by observing the natural world, performing an experiment in a laboratory, or by running a model. Scientists decide what strategy to use, often combining strategies. Then they plan a procedure and gather their data. They make sure the procedure can be repeated, so that other scientists can evaluate their findings.

4. Analyze the Data

Scientists organize their data in tables, graphs, or diagrams. If possible, they include relevant data from other sources. They look for patterns that show connections between important variables in the hypothesis they are testing.

5. Draw Conclusions

Based on whether or not their prediction came true, scientists can then decide whether the evidence clearly supports or does not support the hypothesis. If the results are not clear, they must rethink their procedure. If the results are clear, scientists write up their fi ndings and results to share with others. The conclusions they draw usually lead to new questions to pursue.
