A change in a sequence of DNA bases in a bacterial cell has resulted in a mutation. This mutation has increased the ability of t

he bacteria to break down and digest organic molecules in the environment. Bacteria with this mutation are better able to find and utilize food sources. According to the theory of natural selection, select the change that is MOST likely to occur in future generations of this bacteria.

Answer:

The relative frequency of the mutation will increase as time passes.

Explanation:

This random mutation has, by chance, caused a phenotype that is beneficial to the bacteria. This mutation improves the fitness of the bacteria, as they are able to utilize more food sources. This reduces the chance of starvation and death of the cell. Therefore, cells with this mutation are more likely to survive, and for longer.

In times where nutrients are scarce, bacteria without the population will die off. But the bacteria with this mutation will be more likely to survive and pass on their genetic material. Therefore, over time, the frequency of this mutation will increase.

beks73 [17]

The pinkish hue of individuals with fair skin is the result of the crimson color of oxygenated hemoglobin (contained in red blood cells) circulating in the dermal capillaries and reflecting through the epidermis- is a <u>true</u> statement.

Explanation:

The color of skin of an individual is due to the presence of three main pigments present in the integumentary system – melanin, hemoglobin, and carotene.  

Melanin released by the melanocytes gives a black to brown complexion depending upon the number of pigments present.

Carotene obtained through dietary sources gets accumulated in dermal layers and gives a yellow-orange tinge to the complexion.  

The hemoglobin, which contains the red colored pigment ‘heme’ is the reason for the pink hue of fair skinned people. This hemoglobin present in the dermal capillaries running through the entire length integumentary system adds the unique pink hue to the fair complexion. So higher levels of oxygenated blood and skin blood perfusion lead to bright skin coloration.

Label the steps for protein synthesis in order, beginning with the first step
djyliett [7]

The steps for protein synthesis in order are:

1. Copy of one side of DNA strand is made (called mRNA, messenger RNA)

2. mRNA moves to cytoplasm, then ribosome.

3. mRNA goes through ribosome 3 bases at a time.

4. transfer RNA (tRNA) matches up with the open DNA bases.

5. tRNA releases the amino acid at the top, which joins the chain of amino acids being produced.
