A scientist engineers a virus that contains the gene thought to provide bacterial resistance to the antibiotic vancomycin. The s

cientist then takes a culture of bacteria and divides it in two. One portion is allowed to incubate with the previously mentioned virus, while the other is not. Both bacterial cultures are then placed onto petri plates whose media contain vancomycin. Only the culture grown previously with viruses shows growth of bacterial colonies. How did these bacteria FIRST come to have resistance to this antibiotic? Selected Answer: Transformation Bifurcation Transduction Transformation Conjugation

Answer:

Transduction

Explanation:

Bacteriophages (or phages) are viruses known for its ability to contaminate and become a parasite in a bacteria. These phages can pass its DNA from a single bacterium to another bacterium, via a means referred to as genetic transduction.

This is believed to be the centre route through which bacteria evolve and possess the antibiotic resistance and virulence factors that increases the formation of new and an increasingly more pathogenic strains.

The mechanisms of genetic transduction includes generalized and specialized transduction.

Which do you think would adapt and survive overtime to a mass extinction? A starfish or an eel?
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Starfish

Explanation:

This is an opinion questions, so there really isn't a right or wrong answer.  You could just as easily choose Eel.  Your task is to pick one and defend your reasoning.

I chose starfish because starfish have a long history of demonstrated adaptability to a wide variety of conditions.  Their armored skin protects them from a variety of predators, as does the poison that many of them contain.  They have the ability to regrow limbs, and even regrow entire starfish from certain body parts.  When it comes time to breed, starfish meet together in groups.  Each female releases a few million eggs from the gonads in each of her arms.  Each male then releases billions of sperm from each gonad in each of his arms, thus covering the eggs with sperm to fertilize them.

There are sixty-one mRNA codons that specify an amino acid, but only forty-five tRNAs. This is best explained by the fact that
erik [133]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The phenomenon is best explained by the fact that the <u>genetic codes are degenerates</u>. In other words, more than one codon can specify for the same amino acid being carried by the tRNA.

<em>The base-pairing rule between the third nucleotide of a codon and that of the anticodon on the tRNAs loosens off. For example, GUU, GUC, and GUA all specify for the amino acid valine while GCU, GCC, and GCA all specify for alanine. </em>
