DNA sequencing of an E. coli colony isolated from a nozzle that had biofilm growth of both bacteria shows that conjugation has o

ccurred. However, the transformed strain of E. coli did not express any new proteins. BLAST analysis shows that the gene for the L. monocytogenesprotein is incomplete in E. coli. Sequence comparison shows that E. coli has a truncated version of the gene that begins at nucleotide number 54 and continues to nucleotide 1257, meaning that no start codon is present.
Why would this interfere with transcription or translation?
1.DNA bases are species specific
2. no start codon for translation
3. E. coli DNA polymerase does not recognize an L. monocytogenes gene sequence
4. no promoter region for the transcription to begin at.

Answer:

<h2>2</h2>

Explanation:

Translation starts when translation machinery encounter  start codon( AUG) in mRNA. tRNA brings amino acids for protein synthesis according the sequence of nucleotide in mRNA, and protein synthesis occurs with the help of ribosomes. If the gene is truncated or their sequence is so changed that there is no start codon, then the translation will never happen.

In this case in E. coli ; sequence comparison result  shows that E. coli has a truncated version of gene, means mutated type  of the gene that begins at nucleotide number 54 and continues to nucleotide 1257, meaning that there is  no start codon is present. So when there is no codon  codon then there is no translation, so it interfere with translation.

Degger [83]

Answer:

b. cis test

Explanation:

A test that is used to determine if the mutation associated with a given phenotype is due to mutations in two different genes or due to different alleles of the same gene is called a complementation test.

A complementation test is also called as a cis-trans test.

If the mutations in a complementation test are located on the same position then the genes are termed as being on the cis position otherwise on the trans-position.

A cis test, that is if the genes are located on the same position serves as a control for the complementation test.

Feral pigs are an invasive species commonly found in the Pineywoods of East Texas. Areas where feral pigs are found often have d
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

In the excerpt, it says that the pigs eat the native plants, and disrupt the land.

So by taking the pigs out of the ecosystem, it will result in the native plants growing again, and the land forming back to normal.

What is the difference between inorganic and organic compounds? A. Organic compounds are beneficial to the environment and inorg
Alinara [238K]

Answer: B would be the best answer

Explanation: The primary difference that lies between these organic compounds and inorganic compounds is that organic compounds always have a carbon atom while most of the inorganic compounds do not contain the carbon atom in them. Almost all the organic compounds contain the carbon-hydrogen or a simple C-H bond in them.

The nucleus of a call contains over a meter of DNA . How can all of this DNA fit inside a single cell ?
densk [106]

The DNA is coiled extremely tightly around proteins called histones, like a thread on a spool.  When DNA is wrapped around a a group of histones, it is called a nucleosome.
