A segmented viral genome can facilitate rapid evolution of new viral strains.

Explanation:

Viruses are non-cellular entities which contain one or molecules of DNA or RNA as their genetic material enclosed inside a protein capsule.

Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites and cannot replicate outside a living cell.

The virus integrates its genome into the host genome and uses its mechanism to replicate its genome.

In other words we can say that viruses actually hijack hosts replication machinery.

The fragment of viral genome which disintegrates itself from the host genome after successful replication might carry fragments of host genome. Thus the viral genome gets modified and may evolve.

The _____ is commonly called bark. <br> epidermis<br> periderm<br> cuticle<br> vascular cambium
Gelneren [198K]
The correct answer should be the Periderm.

It is not as simple as this, of course and you would be wise to know that periderm is just a part of the overall concept that is bark, because bark is not a biological term.

Nana76 [90]

The provided question has marked options incorrectely the correct order as follows:

A) Expose putative DNA repair mutant plants to ionizing radiation L and see if they survive less well than wild-type plants.

B) Measure the amount of post-translational processing that occurs in the putative DNA repair mutant plants.

C) Measure the somatic mutation rates for the putative DNA repair mutant plants.

D) Expose the putative DNA repair mutant plants to a deaminating agent and select those that have a decreased mutation rate.

E) Measure the germline spontaneous and induced mutation rates for the putative DNA repair mutant plants.

Answer:

The correct answer is: A), C) and E)

Explanation:

The breeder wants to isolate the mutants in tomatoes that are defective in DNA repair, to identify such plants breeder should follow these methods as they will allow best to identifying the defective tomatoes-

Measure the somatic mutation rates for the putative DNA repair mutant plants.

Measure the germline spontaneous and induced mutation rates for the putative DNA repair mutant plants.

Expose putative DNA repair mutant plants to ionizing radiation L and see if they survive less well than wild-type plants.  This will allow the breeder to see and analyze the ability of DNA repair in tomatoes
