When adult amphibian skin harbors populations of the bacterium, Janthinobacterium lividum (Jl), chytrid infection seems to be in

hibited. Which of the following represents the best experimental design for conclusively determining whether this inhibition is real? A) Inoculate uninfected amphibians with Jl, and determine whether the amphibians continue to remain uninfected by chytrids. B) Inoculate infected amphibians with Jl, and determine whether the amphibians recover from infection by chytrids. C) Take infected amphibians and assign them to two populations. Leave one population alone; inoculate the other with Jl. Measure the rate at which infection proceeds in both populations. D) Take infected amphibians and assign them to two populations. Inoculate one population witha high dose of Jl; inoculate the other with a low dose of Jl. Measure the survival frequency in both populations.

Answer:

To demonstrate that the inhibition by Janthinobacterium lividum on chytrid found in adult amphibian skin is real, the best experimental design would be take infected amphibians and assign them to two populations. Leave one population alone; inoculate the other with Jl. Measure the rate at which infection proceeds in both populations (option C).

Explanation:

Chytrids -<em>Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis</em>- are a species of pathogenic fungi with affinity for amphibian skin, causing alteration of keratin and damage to the animal body.

The verification that Janthinobacterium lividum is capable of inhibiting amphibian skin chytrids requires the design of an experimental model, the most appropriate being that of an infected amphibian population exposed to the bacteria, while the other (control) is not exposed to J. lividum.

In theory, amphibians in the population exposed to bacteria should decrease chytrid infection, whereas in the normal population the infection would remain the same.

"Tryptophan self-controls its synthesis." Justify this statement.
Dimas [21]
Tryptophan self-controls its synthesis. If we have a large amount of tryptophan in the sense that it exceeds, tryptophan would act as a co-repressor which prevents synthesis of more enzymes for its production. Hope this answers the question.

Suppose that a dominant allele (P) codes for a polka-dot tail and a recessive allele (p) codes for a solid colored tail. If two
andrew11 [14]
The correct answer is B. The parents are heterozygous with polka-dot tails, so they both have Pp genotype. The combination of their genotypes (Pp x Pp) could produce 4 genotypes PP, Pp, Pp and pp. Therefore, there is 25% chance for a PP genotype, 25% for a pp genotype and 50% for a Pp genotype. The PP and Pp genotypes produce a polka-dot tail phenotype and the pp genotype produces a solid coloured tail phenotype. In conclusion, there is 75% chance for a polka-dot tail (25% for a PP + 50% for a Pp) and a 25% for a solid coloured tail phenotype (25% for a pp).

A glucose molecule is completely broken down to carbon dioxide and water in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. True or False
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

A glucose molecule enters glycolysis in the cytoplasm of the cell. The glycolytic reactions break down one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate. Each of the pyruvate molecules is then decarboxylated and is oxidized into acetyl CoA. Acetyl CoA enters Kreb's cycle. Acetyl CoA is completely broken down into CO2 and H2O in Kreb's cycle. In this way, glycolysis and Kreb's cycle break down the glucose molecule into CO2 and H2O in a stepwise manner.

Why do polygenic characteristics have many phenotypes?
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

The involvement of more than two genes.

Explanation:

The polygenic characteristics have many phenotypes because more than two genes governs the phenotype of individual organism. The single gene contains a pair of alleles that codes for two phenotype and two genes will code for 4 phenotype. Thus, more than two genes for example, three genes will have six phenotypes.

The skin color and height are polygenic characterstics in humans.
