Wild‑type E. coli cells can synthesize all 20 common amino acids, but some mutants, called amino acid auxotrophs, are unable to

synthesize a specific amino acid and require its addition to the culture medium for optimal growth. Besides their role in protein synthesis, some amino acids are precursors for other nitrogenous cell products, such as the purine and pyrimidine nucleotides. Consider the three amino acid auxotrophs that are unable to synthesize glycine, glutamine, and aspartate, respectively. For each mutant, identify the nucleotide product or products which the cell would fail to synthesize by placing the nucleotide in the bin next to the auxotroph.

Answer:

Complete questions include: Answer Bank: Guanine nucleotides, uridine nucleotides, adenine nucleotides, cytosine nucleotides.

Explanation:

Glycine Auxotroph: Guanine nucleotides and adenine nucleotides (Purine nucleotides)

Glutamine auxotroph: Guanine nucleotides and adenine nucleotides (purine nucleotides)

Aspartate auxotroph: Guanine nucleotides, uridine nucleotides, adenine nucleotides, cytosine nucleotides Both purine and pyrimidine nucleotides)

The amino acids glutamine, glycine, and aspartate provide all the nitrogen atoms of purines in a two ring-closure steps to form the purine nucleus. Pyrimidines are synthesized from carbamoyl phosphate and aspartate.

Discuss the order in which seed dispersal mechanisms could have evolved
sladkih [1.3K]

The fossil records of primitive plants show a variety of seed dispersal mechanisms that has been adopted by plants at various stages and how they have evolved. The most primitive of this seed dispersal mechanism is the Anemochory

Anemochory is the dispersal of seed through the wind. The seeds have wing like structures and are lightweight to be able to fly away with the wind. They are dull colored and are pale that will prevent the seed from being visible.

Hydrochory is the next order of evolution of the seed dispersal mechanism which became majorly adopted by plants that tend to grow near water sources and those whose seeds are too heavy to fly in the air. One of the best examples is the coconut that falls off on the sea water in the coastal areas and floats to other lands and sprouts to a new plant.

Barochory is the dispersal of the seed through gravity. This is the mechanism where the fruit falls off to the ground due to gravity and grows into a new plant.

Endozochory is the dispersal of the seed through animals. In this case the seed is usually covered with a fleshy edible part which is consumed by the animals and in this process the seed goes into the digestive system of the animal and is excreted in a different place from where the seed can sprout into a new plant.

Ballochory is the dispersal of the seed due to the forceful ejection of the seed by explosive dehiscence of the seed. This lets the plant to place its seeds in a distant area. One of the best examples is the Hura Crepitans which is also called the dynamite tree, named after its exploding fruits.

Biotechnology is used in a variety of areas from agriculture to pharmaceuticals to fuels.
Ilya [14]

The correct answer is (C) Genetically modified crops requires less pesticide.

The genetically modified crops are designed in such a way that it requires less amount of pesticide. These plants contain the gene resistant for pest. These plants are often called as Bt plants. Almost 40%  of the maize crops used in United States are genetically modified crops. All these are pest resistant and require very small amount of pesticide to kill some of the pest.

PLEASE HELP!!Why might humans not have widespread regeneration abilities?
aev [14]

Answer:

Humans have some stem cells, but those cells are not easily available to help with healing. Most other mammals are the same, so they aren't good at regeneration either. Amphibians and some fish have stem cells that are more easily available, and are usually pretty good at regeneration.
