Let's look at each individual answer:
A) We know this is factually wrong; humans and yeast eat different things. This question is about the micro-level of molecules, so we cannot infer much about the food of the organisms.
B) This is correct. If we did not share a genetic code, the yeast cell would not have been able to "translate" the genetic information in human genes in order to fix the problem. The genetic code is universal in life as we know it; we can transfer microbial DNA in humans and our cell machinery will still be able to utilize it and this is the basis of DNA recombination.
C) Again, this is not necessary. See the example in B (there are prokaryotic bacteria that illustrate the point).
D) This is plain silly; the genome determines to an extreme part our appearance etc. and it is obvious that we only share a small part of our genome with yeast, and certainly not all of it!

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The yeast and human beings are genetically different but some part of their genome is same.

The yeast and the human beings are similar in the way that they share the same genetic code. This is the reason when required the yeast can use a part of the human genome to compensate for the defective part of the gene.

The yeast and the human genome contains some part as in common so that human genome can be used in case of the emergency.

Hence, the correct answer is option B

Design an experiment where you would determine how quickly lactaid works to break down milk sugar
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Gather 11 Cups And then fill each cup with 5 ounces of whole milk, next is take the first cup to add a known quantity of lactaid. As A Control take another cup and do not add any lactaid. After 1 Minute, pour a known quantity of benedicts into cups of milk. Record the colour ( blue is the least amount of glucose progressing to green, then yellow, orange, red and brick/red brown). Take another cup of milk and then add the lactaid and wait for 5 minutes... Next is add the benedicts. Record the color, repeat steps 7 - 10 adding 5 minute each time until there are no cups left ( 15 minutes, 20,25,30,35,40,45) .

For the last is graph the data and forms conclusions ..

Use your understanding of the nitrogen cycle to answer the questions provided.
Archy [21]

Answer:

The nitrogen cycle could not exist without the presence of nitrogen-fixing microorganisms.

Explanation:

As part of the biogeochemical cycles that occur in nature, the nitrogen cycle involves all the organic and non-organic processes that allow the incorporation of this element into the organism of living beings.

Although nitrogen is abundant in nature, in gaseous form, living beings cannot take advantage of it, because they lack the ability to convert this gas into organic nitrogen. Nitrogen-fixing microorganisms -such as bacteria in the soil- turn inorganic nitrogen into organic, that incorporates plants.

Nitrogen-fixing bacteria exist in both soil and plant roots. They are responsible for the conversion of atmospheric nitrogen and ammonium, the product of the degradation of organic matter, into nitrites and nitrates that assimilate the plants. Herbivorous animals obtain this nitrogen from vegetables, and carnivores from them.
