Predict the most likely outcome of culturing transformed e coli in the presence of tetracycline answer

Biology
1 answer:
Llana [10]3 years ago
0 0
E. coli are a species of bacteria. Like all bacteria, they have a round piece of DNA that contains most of their genetic information, but also plasmids, that contain some more. Plasmid can be passed on from bacterium to bacterium and they contain information for fighting antibiotics. Tetracycline is such an antibiotic. The process of putting a plasmid inside a bacterium is called transformation. So what the above sentence really says, is that a bacterium just got a plasmid that is probably holding the genetic information to produce proteins that fight antibiotics like tetracycline. While regular strains of E. coli might not be able to deal with tetracycline, transformed strains will probably be able to survive it. Hence, the culture will have live bacteria and the bacteria that have a plasmid against tetracycline will be favored and survive.

When crude oil is distilled, it is separated into categories. What are those categories characterized by?
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

Differences in their boiling points

Explanation:

When crude oil is distilled and separated into categories, the categories are characterized by the differences in their boiling points.

At different boiling points, each of the fraction will separate out.

  • Crude oil is made up of different fractions of hydrocarbons.
  • As the chain length of the hydrocarbon increases, the volatility reduces and boiling point increases.
  • Components with short carbon lengths rises out from the column first and are cooled and extracted.
  • The categories are thereby, classified based on differences in their boiling points.

To compare the relative ages of fossils, scientists sometimes use an easily recognized
Natalka [10]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The fossil is <u>A) </u><u>Index fossil</u>.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Index fossils refer to the type of fossil which is used to characterize and distinguish geologic periods. Due to this function of index fossil, they are also called as guide fossil or indicator fossil.  These fossils must have a short vertical range, wide geographic circulation, and quick developmental patterns.

Another term, Zone fossil is utilized when the fossil have every one of the characters expressed above with the exception of wide topographical dispersion, they are restricted to a zone and can't be utilized for relationships of stratas.

What types of energy transfers and energy transportations are involved in the domino chain reaction?
scZoUnD [109]
Each upright domino is also full of potential energy. When the first domino falls, the force of gravity turns that potential energy into enough kinetic energy to topple a domino larger than itself.
