Bacteria and bacteriophages are undergoing an evolutionary battle. In particular, phages that infect Salmonella enterica can use

outer membrane proteins, such as OmpF or TolC, for drug efflux or to attach to the bacterial surface. What would be the impact of a significant mutation of these phage proteins

Answer:

The impact on the loss in the activity of the OmpF proteins could alter the permeability of certain drugs thus avoiding the antibacterial effect. And a change or alteration in the ToIC protein could alter the transport capacity of certain harmful substances, thereby achieving hostile environmental conditions.

Explanation:

A modification in the OmpF porins would primarily affect the antibiotic drug line, including carbapenems and cephalosporins. A loss in the activity of the OmpF porins would favor resistance to antibiotics and to the change in the transport of molecules allowing the activation of expulsion pumps, resulting in the aforementioned resistance.

On the other hand, when the ToIC proteins are modified, a system that causes the antimicrobial drugs to be expelled would be activated, this system being known as exit pumps, however, this system does not transport some more hydrophobic beta-lactam beta or some aminoglycosides.

What do you think would have the greatest effect on the body—a harmful mutation in a pluripotent embryonic stem cell
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

This question lacks options, the complete question is: What do you think would have the greatest effect on the body—a harmful mutation in a pluripotent embryonic stem cell, or a harmful mutation in an adult multipotent stem cell?The correct answer is a harmful mutation in a pluripotent embryonic stem cell.

Explanation:

Pluripotent Stem Cells can self-renew and differentiate into any of the three germ layers, which are: the ectoderm, the endoderm and the mesoderm. These three germ layers subsequently differentiate to form all the tissues and organs within a human being. If during embryonic development, genetic mutations - alterations in genes - occur in the embryonic stem cell, they pass to daughter cells as a consequence of cell division, and an individual is generated whose cells differ at the genetic level. Multipotent stem cells are organospecific cells, that is, they can give rise to any type of cells but from a specific organ (a lung, a kidney or the brain). Their differentiation ends the moment they specialize and become a cell with a specific function within a specific tissue or organ. If there were a mutation in these cells, it would damage a specific designed tissue or organ.

Which two statements are true for the leading strand in DNA?
melomori [17]

Answer: The correct options are statement first and fourth that is -

It is synthesized toward the replication fork and it is synthesized in the 5′ to 3′ direction.

Leading strand in DNA is the strand of new DNA being synthesized in the same direction where the replication fork is moving. The movement of replication fork allows the access of template for the new DNA.

The DNA synthesis is continuous in the leading strand. It is synthesized in the 5' to 3' as DNA synthesis always takes place in this direction. This is because dNTP ( deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate) provides free 3' OH group where new dNTP can be added by the enzyme DNA polymerase.

How is fur helpful for organisms living in cold environments?
garri49 [273]
Fur has a thick layer of protection to help protect..say a bear in this case. A polar bear's fur is helpful in the cold, to prevent the bear from freezing to death.


But since a polar bear eats fish and things that it's used to in Antarctica, it probably won't adapt as easily.

I hope I helped!
