These viruses – known as phages – attach to the surface of bacterial cells, inject their genetic material, and use the cells' enzymes to multiply while destroying their hosts. To defend against a phage attack, bacteria have evolved a variety of immune systems

Answer:

the immune systems include a vast array of restriction enzymes, which help cut up the viral DNA and render it ineffective.

Is the binding of a transcription factor to its dna recognition sequence necessary and sufficient for an initiation of transcrip
hram777 [196]

Transcription factors are necessary for an initiation of transcription at a regulated gene but not sufficient.

Transcription is the first step of gene expression in which DNA molecule is copied (transcribed) into RNA (mRNA) by RNA polymerase. The process of transcription is divided into three phases:

1. Initiation

• RNA polymerase with transcriptional factors bind to gene promoter Transcription factors can enhance the interaction between RNA polymerase and a DNA sequence- promoter, encouraging the expression of the gene. Such transcription factors are called activators. Otherwise, when the gene expression is inhibited, factors are called repressors and they bind to sequence –operator.

• RNA polymerase unwinds DNA double helix (transcription bubble is formed)

2. Elongation

• RNA polymerases adds nucleotides complementary to DNA  

3. Termination

• RNA polymerase gets to stop codon (transcribes a sequence of DNA known as a terminator)

• Formed complementary RNA strand is released from DNA-RNA complex

borishaifa [10]

<span>Basal Body Temperature (BBT) is the body temperature upon waking up or when a person is at rest. After ovulation, a woman’s BBT rises because of increase in progesterone level. BBT swill stay high throughout the post-ovulation phase and until the following cycle. If there is pregnancy, BBT will stay high.</span>

Explain how a streamlined, smooth, nearly hairless body is a beneficial adaptation for marine animals.
lana66690 [7]

Most of the marine animals have a stream lined body, which means, they have a sharp and pointed at the front. The pointed front of the organism allow to cut the resistance of the water. In case, the body is not pointed at the front and it is blunt, the water current and flow would resist the movement of the organism further. So, for the locomotion purpose, it is important to have a streamlined body. Further smooth and hair less body also decrease the resistance during the movement in the water.

Describe what happens during translation
masha68 [24]

What happens is that the RNA<span> is synthesized from the template and RNA polymerase moves along the DNA, elongating the RNA transcript molecule; an enzyme forms the hydrogen bonds between the bases of the DNA strand and the complementary bases of the RNA molecule found in the nucleus.</span>
