Barnacles and mussels are filter feeders that attach themselves to rocks in the ocean. They eat by filtering small particles of

food from the ocean water as it flows over them. A scientist observed a dense colony of barnacles covering the surface of a rock. The mussels were only able to attach to a few, small crevices on the same rock.
Evaluate this observation and explain a limiting factor that is affecting the barnacles and mussels on the ocean rock.

The barnacles are only able to attach them selfs to surfaces in the water. Since the surface is limited, barnacles are attaching themselves to the other barnacles, crowding the rock. The muscles were not able to grow or attach themselves off the surface of the rock. Same thing with the mussels that are growing on the rock. So not only barnacles are crowding the rock, but Mussels as well are crowding the rock.

List ten factors which can be involved in regulating bacterial gene expression (includes specificity and level of expression). "
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

At least 6 were provided:

1. Transcription.

2. Chromatin domains.

3. mRNA degradation.

4. RNA transport.

5. Translation.

6. Post-transcriptional modification.

Explanation:

Chromatin domains.

Changes to the epigenome can result in changes to the structure of chromatin and changes to the function of the genome.

Transcription.

During transcription, a DNA sequence is read by an RNA polymerase, which produces a complementary, antiparallel RNA strand called a primary transcript.

Post-transcriptional modification.

is a set of biological processes common to most eukaryotic cells by which an RNA primary transcript is chemically altered following transcription from a gene to produce a mature, functional RNA molecule that can then leave the nucleus and perform any of a variety of different functions in the cell.

RNA transport.

mRNA is created during the process of transcription, where the enzyme RNA polymerase converts genes into primary transcript mRNA (also known as pre-mRNA). This pre-mRNA usually still contains introns, regions that will not go on to code for the final amino acid sequence.

Translation.

In translation, messenger RNA (mRNA) is decoded in the ribosome decoding center to produce a specific amino acid chain, or polypeptide.

mRNA degradation.

Different mRNAs within the same cell have distinct lifetimes (stabilities). In bacterial cells, individual mRNAs can survive from seconds to more than an hour. However, the lifetime averages between 1 and 3 minutes, making bacterial mRNA much less stable than eukaryotic mRNA.

What is the primary way that metamorphic rocks form?
allochka39001 [22]
<span>Metamorphic rocks form by existing rocks join together under high heat and pressure. Examples of metamorphic rocks are marble, schist, slate, and quartzite. Metamorphic rocks formed when the minerals are chemically changed due to heat and pressure. They are often seen near magma but they do not melt like igneous rock.</span>
