Assume that you are working with a mutant, nutritionally deficient strain of Escherichia coli and that you isolate "revertants,"

which are nutritional-normal. Describe, at the molecular level, two possible causes for the "reversion to wild type."

Lerok [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Mutation may be defined as the sudden heritable change in the genetic sequence of the organism. The mutation can cause the characteristics phenotype in the individual.

Two ways by which the reversion to wild type occur are true reversion and suppression mutation. The true reversion process involves the precision of the correction of the original mutation. The suppression intragenic or intergenic  mutation introduce the changes in the mutant gene and compensate for the wild type product.

What changes in fatty acid metabolism would result from a mutation in the muscle carnitine acyltransferase I in which the mutant
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

<h2>B. Fatty acid synthesis in the cytosol and fatty acid oxidation in the mitochondria could occur simultaneously.</h2>

Explanation:

Carnitine acyltransferase I, is a mitochodrial enzyme also known as Carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT1).

The acyl group is transferred to carnitine by the cytoplasmic form of the enzyme by Carnitine acyltransferase I

Malonyl coA would no longer inhibit fatty acid entry into the mitochondrion and beta oxidation, so there might be a futile cycle of simultaneous fatty acid synthesis in the cytosol and fatty acid breakdown in mitochondria.

A decrease in the resting membrane potential is __________ whereas, __________ is an increase in the membrane potential.
nexus9112 [7]

Answer: depolarization; hyperpolarization

Explanation:

At resting potential (absence of stimulus), the cell membrane of a neuron is said to be polarized with a net negative charge within due to more potassium (K+) ions present than sodium (Na+) ions.

However, an impressed stimuli reverses the ions content as K+ ions flows out and quickly replaced by Na+ ions, resulting in a decrease in membrane potential and a more positive cell membrane. Thus, depolarization occurs.

An increase in the membrane potential (so that it becomes more negative) is called hyperpolarization.

asambeis [7]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

An oil boom helps contain the oil so that it is easier for them to skim it off of the water. They aren't meant to clean up oil, only to contain the oil since it does not sink or mix with water.
