Soil bacteria are responsible for any steps in the nitrogen

Biology
1 answer:
dusya [7]3 years ago

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Soil bacteria are mainly involved in four steps in nitrogen cycle.

  1. Nitrogen fixation
  2. Nitrification
  3. Ammonification
  4. Denitrification
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • First of all atmospheric nitrogen is fixed by soil bacteria (N2 to NH3/ NH4+, NO3-)
  • Nitrification: The conversion of ammonium to nitrate is performed primarily by soil-living bacteria and other nitrifying bacteria (NH3 to NO3-)
  • When a plant or animal dies or an animal expels waste, the initial form of nitrogen is organic. Bacteria or fungi convert the organic nitrogen within the remains back into ammonium (NH+4), a process called ammonification.
  • Denitrification is the reduction of nitrates back into nitrogen gas (N2), completing the nitrogen cycle. This process is performed by bacterial species such as Pseudomonas and Clostridium in anaerobic conditions.

Softa [21]

Answer:

Mutualism

Explanation:

Organisms in an ecosystem interact with one another from time to time. The close interaction between two organisms is referred to as SYMBIOSIS. Symbiosis is of different types depending on the how it affects the involved organisms. The example in this question depicts MUTUALISM.

Mutualism is the type of symbiotic relationship between two organisms in which both organisms benefit from the relationship. This is the case of the LICHEN, which involves the Algae and Fungi. The algae benefits by making use of the water and minerals supplied by the fungi while the fungi benefits by using the food the algae produces via photosynthesis.

8. Two rabbits are bred together. One is heterozygous for agouti coat
dusya [7]

Answer:

- Parental cross = Cch  x chch  

- F1 = 1/2 Cch (agouti coat); 1/2 chch (albino coat) >> 1:1 phenotypic ratio

Punnett  square:  

          ch         ch

C       Cch       Cch

ch    chch      chch

 

Explanation:

A heterozygous individual is an individual who has two different gene variants (i.e., alleles) at a particular <em>locus</em>. In this case, individuals having the "agouti coat" trait are heterozygous carrying both 'C' and 'ch' alleles. On the other hand, a homo-zygous individual has the same allele at a given <em>locus</em> (here, the 'chch' genotype associated with the albino phenotype). Therefore, as observed in the Punnett Square above, when a heterozygous parent is crossed with a homo-zygous recessive parent for a single gene, alleles segregate in the gametes of both parents so an expected 1:1 phenotypic ratio will be observed.

What happens to RNA polymerase II after it has completed transcription of a gene? a. It begins transcribing the next gene on the
Over [174]

The correct answer is: b. It is free to bind to another promoter and begin transcription

Transcription is the first step of gene expression in which DNA molecule is copied (transcribed) into RNA (mRNA) by RNA polymerase. The process of transcription is divided into three phases:

1. Initiation

• RNA polymerase with transcriptional factors bind to gene promoter  

• RNA polymerase unwinds DNA double helix (transcription bubble is formed)

2. Elongation

• RNA polymerases adds nucleotides complementary to DNA  

3. Termination

• RNA polymerase gets to stop codon (transcribes a sequence of DNA known as a terminator)

• Formed complementary RNA strand is released from DNA-RNA complex.

RNA polymerase is also released and can transcribe some other gene by binding to its promotor. RNA polymerase will transcribe just the genes whose products are needed at a particular moment.

What is shown in the imagine <br> prokaryote<br> eukaryote<br> chloroplast<br> mitochondrion
m_a_m_a [10]

"Prokaryote" is shown in the given image.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

A prokaryote is a single-cell organism which is deficient in a membranous nucleus, mitochondria, or any other membranous organs. Prokaryotes are categorized into two domains: Bacteria and Archaea. At the third domain: Eukaryota, species with nuclei and organelles are located.

The asexual prokaryotes reproduce without fusion of gametes. They are considered as first living organisms. In the prokaryotes components like proteins, DNA and metabolites, overall the intra-cellular water-soluble components are enclosed by the cell membrane as situated together in the cytoplasm, rather than in separate cellular compartments.
