Answer:

The correct answer is- spirochetes

Explanation:

Spirochetes are a group of bacteria which are long, flexible and helical shaped. Some of them are associated with some disease in humans like yawns, lime disease, syphilis, etc.  

Yawn is childhood infectious disease caused by a spirochete bacteria called  Treponema pallidum pertenue. These bacterial usually affect the children who live in tropical regions like Africa, Southeast Asia. They can affect skin, bones, and joints. They can spread through direct contact with skin sores.

So the cells of T. pertenue which are helical, relatively long, and flexible known as spirochetes.

How did the Earth get these different layers? Did the Earth always have very separate, distinct layers? Describe what happened.
Orlov [11]
Answer: The different layers are a result of lighter parts (such as the continental crust) settling at the surface level and heavier parts (such as iron and nickel in the core) settling in the middle. The layers separate by density, otherwise known as compositional layering. The earth did not always have these layers, as it had to undergo cooling to form some of them (like the continental crust).

Why is there chloroplasts in leaf cells but not root cells?
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Chloroplasts are only found in the parts of the plant that are capable of photosynthesis. The majority of chloroplasts are found in the leaves of the plant because these structures have the greatest surface area for absorption. The outer part of a plant stem may also contain chloroplasts.

Why do we need to de-starch a leaf to proceed with an experiment?
Ronch [10]
We de-starch leaves so as to remove the starch produced in it during photosynthesis stored as food. Removing the starch would help us to infer our observations clearly as there is no change or substance that would effect the experiment we want to carry out. For example , the indicators we use might give blue-black or green colors just because of the presence or absence of starch.

Why is a frameshift missense mutation more likely to have a severe effect on phenotype than a nucleotide-pair substitution misse
Aneli [31]

Explanation:

A single nucleotide-pair substitution missense mutation causes a change of a single amino acid into another. Aa a result, the produced protein will have an almost normal sequence except for one amino acid.

On the other hand, a frameshift mutation changes the Open Reading Frame (ORF) of the ribosome. The ribosome moves along the mRNA every three nucleotides (codons) and translates them into amino acids that will form the nascent protein. If there is a frameshift mutation (an insertion or deletion of a number of nucleotides not multiple of three) the ribosome will "read" the mRNA differently and will identify different codons than the wild-type sequence, so a large number of amino acids will be different in the mutated protein.
