Answer:

The answer is A) Homologous structures

Explanation:

Homologous Structures:

  • Homologous structures are anatomical features in an organism that are structurally and functionally diverse but they originate from a single common ancestor.
  • Homologous structures possess a similar basic internal structure but can have entirely different morphology and function.
  • For example, the wings of a bat and a human's arm have the same internal structure but they have different functions.
  • Vestigial structures are evolutionary remnants that no longer serve a purpose in modern forms or descendants of the original organism.
  • Inherited and developmental are out of context in terms of evolutionary relationships.

6. (3 pts) After transformation, 40 colonies were present on the plate. What is the transformation efficiency of the competent c
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Given:

Number of colonies on plate = 40

Amount of DNA used for transformation = 100ng

Volume of competent cells used = 100ul

Total volume = 1ml (1000ul)

Volume plated for growth = 200ul

The amount of cells transformed per 1 µg of DNA is called the transformation efficiency

(CFU is colony forming units) => (number of colonies on plate/ng of DNA plated) X 1000 ng/µg = CFU/µg of DNA

Amount of DNA used for plating = 100ng * (200/1000)

                                                      = 100ng * (1/5)

                                                      = 100/5 = 20ng

Efficiency calculation = 40 colonies / 20ng = 2 colonies/ng

               (2 colonies/ng) * (1000 ng/µg) = 2000 CFU/ug DNA

Transformation efficiency = 2000 Transformants / ug DNA

                                          = 2 x 10³ Transformants / ug DNA

Explanation:

Efficiency of transformation is highest in the 100 pg-1 ng range, so Low transformation efficiency could be because of high amount of DNA used for transformation.

Which of the following is a disadvantage of sexual reproduction?
Liula [17]
Answer: <span>A) Slow to repopulate

------

Genetic variation is an advantage of sexual reproduction. It increases survival and the ability to adapt in a species. Species with genetic variation can respond better to environment changes, since the genetic variability allows some to be immune to disease or adapt better to a change, and live to reproduce.

Slow to repopulate is a disadvantage because the species cannot recover quickly after a large disaster. It also means they cannot adapt as quickly to an environmental change.</span>

The movement of molecules down a concentration gradient through transport proteins in the cell membrane is a type of
ioda

Answer:

Facilitated Diffusion

Explanation:
