A 25-year-old woman was planning a backpacking trip in Honduras. Three days after her arrival in the country, she developed wate

ry diarrhea, abdominal cramps, bloating, nausea, and low grade fever. She administered an anti-diarrheal drug, plenty of fluids, and her diarrhea subsided within three days. Which of the following is associated with the causative organism of her disease?
a. The organism has O antigen type 157 and flagella type 7
b. The organism may also produce dystentery

Answer:

All the options are correct.

Explanation:

The causative agent of the disease is Escheria Coli which is a bacteria.

Escheria Coli have different serotypes which is as a result of variations in its genome.

One of the serotype of E. Coli is E. coli O157:H7 which is a good borne pathogen and it is one of the shiga like toxin producing E.coli, a food borne disease and it is gotten from consuming contaminated food products, raw or not properly processed milk or meat.

The organism has O antigen type 157 and flagella type 7 and can produce LT and ST toxins. It causes infectious dysentery.

The symptoms include watery diarrhea, abdominal cramps, bloating, nausea, and low grade fever.

It can be treated by the administration of an anti-diarrheal drug, plenty of fluids.

Which represents the cross between parent plants if one is heterozygous and has yellow-colored pods and the other is homozygous
9966 [12]

The cross between parent plants if one is heterozygous for yellow pods and the other is homzygous for green pods - Yy yy., i.e., option A.

<h3>What is heterozygous?</h3>

The occurrence of different types of alleles is referred to as heterozygous condition.

A heterozygous genotype may consist of one normal allele and one mutated allele, or two distinct mutated alleles.

The missing options of the question are:

  1. Yy ´ yy
  2. YY ´ yy
  3. Yy ´ Yy
  4. yy ´ yy

The cross between parent plants if one is heterozygous for yellow pods and the other is homzygous for green pods - Yy yy.

Thus, the correct option is A.

Copying of the information in dna into rna, which can exit the nucleus is called
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
Definition:
                 "Copying of information from DNA to RNA which exit nucleus is                                                         known as transcription"

Explanation:

                    Transcription is a vital process for living organisms, because it is a staring point for protein synthesis. It occurs inside the nucleus and is carried out by RNA polymerase enzyme. In eukaryotes RNA pol is of three types: these are RNA Pol 1, RNA Pol 2, and RNA Pol 3. In prokaryotes it is of only one type.

Steps in transcription:
                                     Transcription consists of three main steps
1. Initiation:
                   In this step RNA pol attach to DNA template at 5 prime end in the promoter region to start the formation of complementary strand of RNA.  In prokaryotes there is a region called <span>Pribnow box, with the </span>consensus sequence<span> TATAAT present about 10 base pair away from site that serves as a transcription initiation. In eukaryotes the promoter region is more complex it contain activator and enhancer.

2. Strand elongation:
                                   </span><span>Once transcription is initiated, the DNA double helix unwinds and RNA polymerase reads the template strand, adding nucleotides to the 3′ end of the growing chain.
</span>
3. Transcription Termination:
                                                T
erminator sequences are found close to the ends of non-coding sequences. Before termination polyadenylation occurs.  <span>
