Biology

Kaylis [27]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: C. When they mixed, some of the bacteria from strain X obtained plasmids from strain Y, these plasmids gave them DNA that allowed  them to resist the antibiotic.

Explanation:

Conjugation is a mode of sexual reproduction used by some strains of bacteria to reproduce. In this the bacteria transfers the genetic material to another bacteria through direct contact. In this one bacteria act as a donor and another one act as a recipient.

The strain X which was affected by the antibiotic might have mixed with the strain Y, as a result of this strain X being not resistant with the antibiotic died. But when this bacterial strain got mixed with the strain Y, which is antibiotic resistant. The strain X might received the antibiotic resistant property from strain Y through sexual reproduction by the mode of conjugation. In this plasmid DNA transfer from strain Y to strain X, helped strain X to develop antibiotic resistance, and further helped strain X to survive.

arsen [322]

Answer:

In biology, a molecular clock can be described as a method to determine the time for the divergence of species which occurred by the process of evolution.

Explanation:

The mutation rates of different molecules are used in this method. The mutation rates for DNA sequences and amino acid sequences are usually considered. The molecular clock can be used to compare and estimate the splitting of a lineage. For example, by this method, one can interpret when the chimpanzees and humans diverged from each other.

Hope this helped!

Trace the path of an egg cell by filling in the blanks.
Nadya [2.5K]
The path of an egg cell: After the egg breaks through the ovarian wall, it travels into the fallopian tube which overlies each ovary. From there, it reaches the uterus or womb. If the egg is fertilized by a sperm cell, it is implanted in the endometrium.

The revolution of earth around the sun and the tilt of earth’s  axis cause the changing of seasons. TRUE

<u>Explanation:</u>

Earth is slightly tilted at its axis. This causes a change in the amount of sunlight reaching each hemisphere. Due to the tilt one hemisphere will be closer to the sun while the other will be at a greater distance.  When the earth revolves around the sun , the hemisphere that is closer to the sun changes.

The hemisphere closer to the sun will experience summer and the hemisphere away from the sun will experience winter.

Rudiy27

Answer:

The answer is Free factor  / Independent variable.

Explanation:

A free factor is a variable that is controlled to decide the estimation of a needy variable s. The reliant variable is what is being estimated in a trial or assessed in a scientific condition and the autonomous factors are the contributions to that estimation. An autonomous variable in a test setup is the controlled variable. As it were, the free factor is the variable that is being tried or modified by the experimenter.
