The light reflected from the surface of the Moon takes only a second to reach Earth. The Sun is more than 8 light-minutes away. And so, if the light from the nearest star (Alpha Centauri) takes more than 4 years to reach us, we're seeing that star 4 years in the past.

In conclusion the answer is 8 Earth years

lana66690 [7]

The answer is; C

Plasmids are conferred through horizontal gene transfer in bacteria.  The ‘male’ bacteria develops a structure called pili that then attaches to the ‘female’ bacteria. It then transfers it’s replicated plasmid to the ‘female’ bacteria in a process called conjugation. This bacteria will hence have desirable traits that are coded for by the transferred genetic material ,such as antibiotic resistance, after a process called recombination.

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Choosing protein as macromolecule.

Explanation:

The given environmental changes can lead to structural changes in protein as well:

pH - Several amino acids contain sidechains with practical gatherings that can promptly pick up or lose a proton. Changes in pH would prompt an adjustment in the charge of the amino acids, prompting charge-charge attraction or repilsion between non-interfacing amino parts.  

Temperature - High temperatures can prompt protein denaturation. Warmth can upset hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions.  

Reduction or oxidation Environment - Some tertiary structure of protein folding is held by disulfide linkages. Reducing agent will lead to unfolding by introducing itself to break disulfide bonds.

Effect of these change: Sequence of amino acid and structure of protein molecule form determines function, any slight change to a protein's structure may result in the protein to become dysfunctional or produce different product.
