PLEASE ANSWER.   E. coli is a species of bacteria that causes many different infections in humans. Certain E. coli strains have

developed resistance to antibiotics, making infections with these strains difficult to treat. How do bacteria such as E. coli, which reproduce asexually, gain new traits such as antibiotic resistance?
A.

by undergoing spontaneous mutations when they replicate, which increases genetic variation in a population

B.

by mutating their DNA in response to environmental conditions to gain beneficial traits

C.

by adapting to changes in environmental conditions without undergoing changes in their DNA

D.

by producing offspring with new gene assortments from genetic recombination, which increases diversity in a population

Answer: The correct answer is-

B.  by mutating their DNA in response to environmental conditions to gain beneficial traits.

Antibiotic resistance in bacteria means the bacteria is not susceptible to the antibiotic that is the effectiveness of antibiotic against the bacteria is eliminated or reduced.

It occurs when bacteria undergoes mutation that is alteration in the genetic material ( for instance, in one mechanism of resistance, mutation changes the protein that was earlier target for the antibiotic).

Therefore, by mutating the DNA in response to environmental condition ( such as exposure to antibiotic in this condition), bacteria gains beneficial characters and become resistant.

Thus, option B) is the right answer.

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Yes. You did it correctly.

Explanation:

The punnet square should be completed as follows:

      T      T

t     Tt      Tt

t      Tt      Tt

As the question says that the pollen carries the recessive alleles, hence the pollen should be carrying the alleles tt.

The question also says that all the offsprings produced are tall. Hence, the recessive male has to breed with a homozygous dominant female to get these results. The offsprings produced will be heterozygous dominant in this case.

Relation of animal and plants in ecosystem<br>need more explanation plss<br>​
olasank [31]

Answer:

  1. Plants and animals depend upon each other as mutual interdependence is must for their survival. Plants provide shelter for animals and they make oxygen for the animals to live. When animals die they decompose and become natural fertilizer plants. Plants depend on animals for nutrients, pollination and seed dispersal.

Amoeba Sisters Video Recap: DNA Replication
Sergio039 [100]

Before starting the explanation in the amoeba sister video, they explain what DNA replication is. We can say that DNA, which in eukaryotic cells is located in the nucleus, contains all the genetic information of a being and its duplication process is important for cell growth, reproduction and repair.

<h3 /><h3>What is DNA replication?</h3>

A DNA molecule is made up of two strands that complement each other. For example, if we have an F and an F' strand, in the replication process the strands separate and are used as templates for the formation of complementary strands. Thus, the nucleotide sequence of F determines the sequence of a new F' strand, and F' indicates the composition of a new F strand.

<h3>DNA replication process</h3>

In the video of the amoebas sisters it is briefly explained that..

  1. DNA replication occurs in the 5' → 3' direction and the strands are separated by the action of enzymes, which break the bonds between the nitrogenous bases and unwind the strands, opening the double helix.
  2. As DNA uncoiling takes place, other enzymes act to catalyze the synthesis of two new sequences using the parent strands as a template. Each strand created joins an original strand of DNA. Therefore, the process is classified as semi-conservative.
  3. DNA is a double helix molecule and for its duplication to occur, the first step is to unpack this structure by the action of the DNA helicase enzyme. The helicase recognizes the origin of replication and works by breaking the hydrogen bonds in the nitrogenous bases A-T and C-G. This process occurs at several points and forms "replication bubbles".
  4. As the bonds unravel, it's like a zipper opening, so this step gives rise to a Y-shaped structure called the replication fork, the starting point of duplication.
  5. The primase enzyme is responsible for synthesizing a portion of RNA, called a primer. In this step, several primers are generated and are joined to the chain to start DNA synthesis.
  6. The DNA polymerase enzyme is the replication enzyme responsible for extending the new strand by adding the bases (A, C, G and T). This step is directed from the 5' end, with a phosphate group, to the 3' end, with a hydroxyl group. This phase is called continuous replication.
  7. Among the primers attached to the original strand, several pieces of DNA are attached and are called Okazaki fragments. As the sections will need to be joined later, this phase is called delayed.
  8. The exonuclease enzyme is responsible for removing the primers from the original strands after the formation of continuous and discontinuous strands. To avoid sequencing errors, a review and, if necessary, a correction is performed by another exonuclease.
  9. The enzyme DNA ligase causes the DNA fragments to be joined and the DNA sequenced into two continuous strands.

thus, in a simple way, how DNA replication occurs in the video of the amoebas sisters.
