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.

8. You have discovered a novel compound (whoosh), which is an inhibitor of mitochondrial ATP synthesis. You observe that when wh
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Answered below

Explanation:

Whoosh is an inhibitor of the f1fo ATP synthase. ATP synthase is an enzyme that catalyses the synthesis of ATP in the mitochondria through the process of oxidative phosphorylation, by using energy from the transmembrane electrochemical proton gradient along the respiratory chain.

ATP synthase is made up of two main subunits called the F0 and F1. These subunits allow for ATP production through their rotational mechanisms.

Various synthetic and natural inhibitors of ATP synthase have been used to study the structure and mechanism of ATP synthase. These inhibitors cause the decrease in the NAD/NADH ratio. They include; polypeptides, organotin compounds, cationic inhibitors, amino acid modifiers, oligomycin and peptide inhibitors.

using the food web, describe two complete food chains that include a ptoducer, consumer, and descomposer.​
Damm [24]

Answer:

A food chain is a representation of what eats what in an ecosystem.

A combination of food chains is termed as a food web.

Example of two food chains in a food web are :

Example No 1:

Plant----- Grasshopper------ Frog---snake--- bacteria

Example No 2:

Plant---- rabbits---- fox---- bacteria

In a food chain, producers are usually plants and algae which are able to make their own food. Consumers feed on the plants. In example no 1, grasshoppers are primary consumers, frogs are secondary consumers, snakes are tertiary consumers.

In example no 2,plants are producers, rabbits are primary consumers and foxed are secondary consumers.

Decomposers are organisms that feed on the dead organisms in a food chain. In both the examples of food chain, bacteria are the decomposers.
