Answer: Genetically similar

Explanation:

Conjugation can be defined as the process by which bacteria transfers the genetic material through a tube like material between two cells.

This method of gene transfer provides genetic variability to the bacterial cell by giving bacteria antibiotic resistant gene and making it an antibiotic resistant bacterial cell.

So, if the cell is unable to perform conjugation, there will be no genetic variability in the bacterial cell.

The colony would have less genetic variation. The Bacteria in the colony would be too genetically similar

How do biotic and abiotic factors affect the characteristics of an ecosystem
valina [46]

Explanation:

Biotic factors such as the presence of autotrophs or self-nourishing organisms such as plants, and the diversity of consumers also affect an entire ecosystem. Abiotic factors affect the ability of organisms to survive and reproduce. Abiotic limiting factors restrict the growth of populations.

Why do babies with tetralogy of fallot have a faster breathing rate than normal babies
allochka39001 [22]
Because their bodies tell them that they need more oxygen and so breathe faster, and try and get the oxygen their body requires and depends on.

Arrange the order of events for the internalization of LDL particles into cells:
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The correct answer is "5-1-3-2-4".

Explanation:

Internalization of LDL particles into cells, is needed to form the intracellular vesicles known as endosomes. The order of events that allow for this process are:

5) LDL receptors migrate to the cell surface and cluster in clathrin-coated pits. Clathrin acts directing the receptors to the cell membrane region where endosomes are formed.

1) A combination of cholesterol and apolipoprotein binds to LDL receptors and becomes internalized as endocytotic vesicles. Once the receptors are in the proper cell membrane region, cholesterol and apolipoprotein are bound and internalized.

3) Several endocytotic vesicles fuse to form an endosome.

2) The environment of the endosome becomes acidic, which causes the LDL to dissociate from its receptor; additionally, the endosome fuses with a lysosome. LDL should be dissociated from its receptor since it is going to be degraded in the following step.

4) The LDL particle is degraded by the lysosome. This takes place after endocytosis, when LDL particles are transported into lysosomes once they are fused, cleaving the cholesterol esters into cholesterol and fatty acids.
