How many kilometers has the left side of the pacific basin spread in 2 million years

1 answer:

6 0

By left I guess that you mean the western side of the Pacific Basin. There is no longer a spreading ridge on the western side of the Pacific Basin--so the floor is no longer spreading. The seafloor and the paleomagnetic stripes on the seafloor of the Western Pacific were actually created many millions of years ago. In fact, the western side of the Pacific Basin is being subducted--so, the western ocean floor is actually disappearing beneath Japan, New Zealand, etc.
<span>In the southeastern part of the Pacific, there is still a spreading ridge, the East Pacific Rise, off of Central and South America. And there are little remnants of spreading ridges just off the the Northwest coast of North America </span>
<span>The Atlantic Basin, on the other hand, which has a spreading ridge right down its middle, and has only insignificant subduction along its margin (beneath Caribbean plate), is still getting wider. </span>

Answer:

E) horizontal gene transfer

Explanation:

Horizontal gene transfer(HGT) is mainly seen in bacteria. Bacteria exchange their genetic material from the horizontal gene transfer method. There are three methods in HGT- conjugation, transduction, and transformation.

In conjugation, the bacteria exchange their plasmid through sex pilus. In transformation, bacteria take up other's genetic material from its environment and in transduction virus-mediated gene transfer occurs.

Therefore in bacteria and nucleus, the genetic material exchange can occur only through HGT.

How is it possible that viral dna can be inserted into the genome of bacteria?.

zepelin [54]

Viral DNA can be inserted into the genome of bacteria by manipulating a specific enzyme known as DNA ligase.

<h3>What is DNA ligase?</h3>

This is a special enzyme found in humans and other forms of DNA. The role of the DNA ligase enzyme is to fuse together distinct strands of DNA. By manipulating this enzyme, scientists have achieved genetic modification.

Therefore, we can confirm that due to the successful manipulation of an enzyme known as DNA ligase, scientists have been able to insert viral DNA into the genome of bacteria.
