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.

Tresset [83]

Answer:

d) Plantae.

Explanation:

Kingdom Plantae includes plants which are multicellular organisms and have tissue or organ system level of body organization. These organisms have a cell wall made of cellulose and bear chlorophyll in chloroplasts which in turn allow them to carry out the process of photosynthesis. All the green plants are placed in Kingdom Plantae.

Explain some use of chromosome?
Korolek [52]
<h3>Chromosomes are the thread-like structure found in the nuclei of both animal and plant cells. They are made of protein and one molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Organisms grow by undergoing cell division to produce new cells and replace older, wornout cells. During this cell division, DNA must remain intact and keep its even distributionthroughout the cells. Chromosomes are important to this process to ensure the DNA is accurately replicated.</h3>

Explanation:

Primary succession is one of two types of biological and ecological succession of plant life, occurring in an environment in which new substrate devoid of vegetation and other organisms usually lacking soil, such as a lava flow or area left from retreated glacier, is deposited.[1] In other words, it is the gradual growth of an ecosystem over a longer period of time.[2][3]

Primary succession occurring over time. The soil depths increase with respect to the increase in decomposition of organic matter. and there is a gradual increase of species diversity in the ecosystem. The labels I-VII represent the different stages of primary succession. I-bare rocks, II-pioneers (mosses, lichen, algae, fungi), III-annual herbaceous plants, IV-perennial herbaceous plants and grasses, V-shrubs, VI-shade intolerant trees, VII-shade tolerant trees.

In contrast, secondary succession occurs on substrate that previously supported vegetation before an ecological disturbance from smaller things like floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and fires which destroyed the plant life.[4]
