Explain what the interviewer meant when he said that genetic mutations are like misprints in a book.

Answer:At times parts of the gene can change entirely, leading to alteration of the product. There are many types of gene mutations, but all types of mutation can potentially affect the cell and its function.

Explanation: A publisher can misprint a book in several ways. The publisher can miss words, make spelling erros, mix up paragraphs or delete some text entirely.With these kinds of errors, the text will be inaccurate, and the reader can get confused. Mutations in genes happen similarly.

Some herbicides prevent sucrose uptake by plant cells. Upon applying the herbicide to an isolated plant cell, it was detected th
never [62]

Answer:

Herbicide essentially replaces sugar with itself during uptake by plants.

Explanation:

Noting that the pH is decreased around the plant cells indicate that there is an acidic environment that exists, It also indicates that the cell wall  had been perforated and the contents are being expelled or at the very least leaking.

The ability for the plant to break down and use sugar is vital for its survival. Most herbicides are in the form of glycophosphates and it moves along with the sugar in the plant that have been treated with herbicides through the transport vesicles, the xylem and phloem.

This causes an imbalance in the available sugars that are able to be taken up by the plant since much of it is replaced by the herbicide.

We grew three species of bacteria (E. coli, S. marcescens, and G. stearothermophilus) at 3 different temperatures (25C, 37C, 55C
nevsk [136]

Answer:

It is because G. stearothermophilus  is a thermophile and hence it can sustain at higher temperatures.

Explanation:

Geobacillus stearothermophilus  is a bacteria that has the ability to survive at a higher range of temperature such as between  30 to 75°C. It exhibits high processivity and a low error rate at temperature higher than even 70 degree Celsius.  Such bacterias are known as thermophile

They are usually found in extreme habitats such as deep sea, inside volcanic islands, hydrothermal vent systems etc. Therefore, they can sustained on energy and carbon dioxide from the vents

Science is not a process, but just a body of facts that<br> accumulates overtime.<br> TRUE<br> FALSE
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Science is more about gaining knowledge than it is about simply having knowledge. Science is a way of learning about the natural world that is based on evidence and logic. In other words, science is a process, not just a body of facts. Through the process of science, our knowledge of the world advances.

Summarize how mutation violates the Hardy-Weinberg principle.
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Mutations must not occur to introduce new alleles to the population. No gene flow can occur to increase variability in the gene pool. A very large population size is required to ensure allele frequency is not changed through genetic drift. Mating must be random in the population.
