The restriction enzymes of bacteria protect the bacteria from successful attack by bacteriophages, whose genomes can be degraded

by the restriction enzymes. the bacterial genomes are not vulnerable to these restriction enzymes because bacterial dna is methylated. this situation selects for bacteriophages whose genomes are also methylated. as new strains of resistant bacteriophages become more prevalent, this in turn selects for bacteria whose genomes are not methylated and whose restriction enzymes instead degrade methylated dna. over the course of evolutionary time, what should occur

The correct answer is;  Methylated and nonmethylated strains should be maintained among both bacteria and bacteriophages, with ratios that vary over time. Restriction enzyme are protein produced by bacteria that cleaves DNA at specific sites along the molecule. In bacterial cell, restriction enzymes cleave foreign DNA, thus eliminating infecting organisms.

Glia that provide myelin for neurons in the brain are called ________.
kati45 [8]

Answer:

oligodendrocytes

Explanation:

Glial cells are part of the nervous system. These are helper cells that support the function of the central nervous system (CNS) and can be called oligodendrocytes when they supply myelin to neurons.  These cells are responsible for producing the myelin sheath have the function of electrical insulator for CNS neurons. They have extensions that wrap around the axons, producing the myelin sheath.

It is estimated that there are 10 glia cells in the CNS for each neuron, but because of their small size, they occupy half the volume of nervous tissue. They differ in form and function and they are: oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, Schwann cells, ependymal cells, and microglia.
