Answer:

a) Genes b and c are farthest apart.

Explanation:

Transformation occurs when a competent bacteria cell takes up genetic material from the environment. Usually a donor cell donates its gene fragment  which is then incorporated into the chromosome or plasmid of recipient bacterial cell.

Cotransformation occurs when two genes are taken up together by the recipient. The closer the genes lie to each other, more are the chances of them being taken up together. Contransformation frequency will be higher if two genes are close to each other. Here, cotransformation frequencies between three genes are given. Amongst them, the lowest frequency is 0.0064% which is present between gene b and c. Hence, gene b and c are the farthest apart.

Which linkages would you expect to find at a branch point in glycogen or amylopectin?
shusha [124]

Answer:

α-1,6-glycosidic linkage.

Explanation:

The carbohydrates are the polymers made of the sugars and bonded together through the glycosisdic bonds. The monosaccharides are the simplest unit of the carbohydrates.

The glycogen and amylopectin share similar structural features. Both have α-1,4-glycosidic linkage in their linear structure. The branching has been introduced in the glycogen and amylopectin structure through the α-1,6-glycosidic linkage.

Thus, the answer is α-1,6-glycosidic linkage.

How many covalent bonds can carbon make?
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

Carbon has four valence electrons, so it can achieve a full outer energy level by forming four covalent bonds. When it bonds only with hydrogen, it forms compounds called hydrocarbons. Carbon can form single, double, or triple covalent bonds with other carbon atoms.

A scientist performs an experiment to see if acids have an effect on the health of a particular type of plant. Three sets of pla
olga55 [171]

The question is not complete but it can be answered in general as the plants cannot survive in acidic conditions.

Answer: High acidity is harmful to this type of plant.

Explanation:

The plants that were kept in the higher acidic conditions are less likely to grow in higher acidic conditions.

The plants that were kept in more basic conditions will also not grow properly as the pH of the soil should be neutral, slightly acidic or slightly basic.

The plants that was kept as a control on the pH of 7 will grow the best as the pH is optimum for the growth of the plants.

The conclusion is high acidity is harmful for the life of the plants.
