Answer:

B. acidity of the vagina

Explanation:

The genus <em>Lactobacillus</em> includes rods and coccobacilli that lack catalase and produce lactic acid as the main fermentation product. <em>Lactobacilli </em>grow optimally under slightly acidic conditions. They are part of the normal flora of the human body and are present in the intestinal tract, vagina, etc.

In the human female vagina, the <em>Lactobacilli </em>are rarely pathogenic and rather serve as antimicrobial agents and prevent the growth of pathogenic microbes by imparting acidic pH to the vagina. Production of lactic acid by these bacteria imparts acidic pH and allows them to serve as antimicrobial agents.

If one were to cut the plasmid DNA with Hindill, Apal, and Smal, how large is each
tiny-mole [99]

A linear shaped piece of DNA strand is obtained when a plasmid is cut HindIII, Apa1, and Sma1.

Explanation:

Restriction enzymes are endonucleases which enzymatic proteins which can cut a DNA at specific sequences at particular recognition sites. The sequences recognized by these enzymes are usually palindromic that occurs for a definite length (6 bp, 4 bp, or 8 bp).

They can either be blunt cutters or sticky end cutters. APA1, SMA1, and HindIII are all restriction enzymes which can cut a circular plasmid at specific locations.

These restriction enzymes bind with the DNA at specific locations and cuts them to give linear strands of DNA either with a blunt or a sticky end.

why do some scientists theorize that global warming might not be the result of increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide
PtichkaEL [24]

Explanation:

In Earth’s history before the Industrial Revolution, Earth’s climate changed due to natural causes not related to human activity. Most often, global climate has changed because of variations in sunlight. Tiny wobbles in Earth’s orbit altered when and where sunlight falls on Earth’s surface. Variations in the Sun itself have alternately increased and decreased the amount of solar energy reaching Earth. Volcanic eruptions have generated particles that reflect sunlight, brightening the planet and cooling the climate. Volcanic activity has also, in the deep past, increased greenhouse gases over millions of years, contributing to episodes of global warming
