A microbiologist obtained two pure biological samples: one of a virus, and the other of a viroid. Unfortunately, the labels had

been lost. The microbiologist felt she could distinguish the two by analyzing for the presence or absence of a single molecule. What molecule would she search for and why?

The researcher could look for the presence of proteins, because viruses have a envelope (capsid) composed of proteins that involve their genetic material. The capsid may have a helical or icosahedral structure and is extremely regular. Viroids cannot synthesize any type of protein, so differentiation is possible.

A red blood cell with an osmolarity of 300 mOsM (non-penetrating solutes) swells but does not lyse when placed in a 300 mOsM sol
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

See below for answer

Explanation:

<u>A. 200 mOsM NaCl</u>

This solution is hypotonic to the red blood cell (RBC) with penetrating solute. The RBCs will swell up and burst because the water will move into the cells.

<u>B. 400 mOsM urea</u>

This solution is hypertonic to the RBCs with non-penetrating solutes. Water will leave the cells via osmosis and the cells will shrink and appear shriveled.

<u>C. 100 mOsM urea plus 200 mOsM NaCl</u>

This time both penetrating and non-penetrating solute is present. The solution is isotonic to the RBCs and although there will be movement of water between the cells and the solution, there will be no overall change in the concentration of water for each and no change in appearance of the cells.

<u>D. 300 mOsM urea</u>

The RBCs will not lyse nor shrivel as again the solution is isotonic to the RBCs.

The flowchart below shows the major steps in a system that builds mp3 players.
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

A . II and IV only.

Explanation:

  • Process is defined as the series of steps that are followed to achieve certain goal.
  • In the flow chart I, III and V show raw material, the parts and Mp3 player. respectively.
  • None of these involves steps or method.
  • Step II shows Production. It involves methods and steps that convert the raw material in to product. Thus, it is a process.
  • Step IV show assembly. Assembling also involves series of steps and method that combine the part to make the Mp3 player. Thus it is also a process.

Describe how mutation and genetic recombination increase genetic variation
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Genetic variation can be caused by mutation (which can create entirely new alleles in a population), random mating, random fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis (which reshuffles alleles within an organism's offspring).

Explanation:

Hope this helps.
