To map genes of a bacterial strain, conjugation must be interrupted at given times. Suppose you have Hfr cells of genotype a+b+c

+d+e+strS and F- cells of genotype a-b-c-d-e-strR and you combine these two cultures in liquid medium in four blenders at time 0. After intervals of 3, 6, 9, and 12 minutes, you turn on successive blenders.The resulting cultures were then plated on medium containing streptomycin. Why?A) to eliminate non-conjugated F- cellsB) to eliminate the Hfr cellsC) to selectively eliminate cells that have taken in F+ genesD) to eliminate all non-conjugated cells

Answer:

The answer is not in any of the options and is the following:

to eliminate any remaining Hfr cells.

Explanation:

In a medium that has a streptomycin antibiotic it is used to kill Hfr donor cells after the conjugation is interrupted. This is entirely due to the streptomycin sensitivity allele (str-s) which are found in Hfr strains. The presence of the streptomycin resistance allele, located in the receptor, is used for the specific destruction of Hfr donor cells after conjugation occurs.

Mama L [17]

The right option is ; They destroy pathogens that enter the wound  

White blood cells will prevent bacteria on the glass from infecting her blood by destroying the bacteria.

White blood cells are the cells of the immune system that protects the body against infectious disease and pathogens. White blood cells are present in every part of the body including the blood. White blood cells encompass any pathogens in the blood, engulf and break them down so as to destroy them .

Macronutrients are nutrients that contain inorganic components. <br> a. True <br> b. False
emmasim [6.3K]
This is false, as macronutrients are all made of organic components. Macronutrients are carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. The most basic unit for carbohydrates is glucose. Glucose is an organic molecule with a chemical formula of C6H12O6 which then is broken down by the body to convert it to energy (in the form of ATP). Fats or triglycerides are comprised of fatty acids and a glycerol backbone which can also be used by the body for energy or can be stored for later use. Proteins on the other hand are functional molecules wherein the basic unit for proteins is the amino acid. Proteins are exemplified because they contain nitrogen (CHON). All of which can be used as energy and has specific caloric value per gram (4 kcal for every gram of protein and carbohydrates and 9 kcal for every gram of fat).

Micronutrients are usually inorganic compounds with no caloric value. Usually these micronutrients are essential for maintaining biochemical pathways in the body. For instance, niacin and riboflavin are vitamins that are needed in the production of NAD and FAD which are important for reduction-oxidation reactions in the body (i.e. tricarboxylic acid cycle and electron transport chain).

The water vascular system of echinoderms (A) functions as a circulatory system that distributes nutrients to body cells. (B) fun
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

The water vascular system of echinoderms (B) functions in locomotion and feeding.

Which of the following combinations of phylum and description is correct?   (C) Platyhelminthes—flatworms, gastrovascular cavity, no body cavity

Explanation:

Echinoderms are marine animals. They have a water vascular system that make them able to move (locomation), respiration and food and waste transportation. This system is full of different canal along the body.  

Echinodermata has not a radial symmetry as a larva, in fact it has a bilateral symmetry and coelom present. When it comes to Nematoda, they are roundworms and have a pseudocoelomate. Finally, porifera has a gastrovascular cavity and no coelom.
