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.

One particular feature found in bony fishes but is absent in cartilaginous fishes:
ioda
A Swim Bladder is not present in cartilaginous fishes. Also called a fish maw or gas bladder the swim bladder is a gas-filled bladder that allows many bony fish to control their buoyancy by filling or releasing gas form the bladder. This allows them to change bouyancy without wasting metabolic energy by swimming.

Suppose there are two homologous chromosomes. Each chromosome contains a single mutant allele in different parts of the chromoso
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Cross overs can lead to formation of chromosome pairs that have no mutant allele.

Explanation:

Cross overs can lead to formation of chromosome pairs that have no mutant allele.

For example -

Suppose "X" is a mutant  allele and "x" is a mutant free allele.

Now when two homologous chromosomes contains a single mutant allele in different parts of the chromosome are crossed the following offspring are produced

X x

X XX Xx

x Xx xx

"xx" is a mutant free genotype.

Thus, crossing over can create a single mutation-free chromosome

In a farming accident last year, kevin injured his right cerebral hemisphere. this injury may impair kevin's ability to:
Crank
The injury to Kevin’s right cerebral hemisphere could affect the strength and movement on the left side of his body, as the right half of the brain controls the left side and vice versa. Reasoning, attention, perception, social communication and memory are also controlled by the right side of the brain and these functions could also be impaired from an injury to his right cerebral hemisphere.
