Answer:
d. has acquired naked DNA from the environment
Explanation:
<em>Bacterial transformation is a process whereby a living bacterium takes up pieces of DNA from the environment and the foreign DNA becomes incorporated into the genome of the bacterium thereby 'transforming' it genetically. </em>
A transformed bacterium does not necessarily die within 48 hours, all other factors being considered.
Transformation does not hinder a bacterium from forming conjugation pilus.
Transformation does not always make a bacterium to be lethal to mouse. It depends on the gene present in the foreign DNA.
The correct option is d.
Answer: Microwaves and X-rays have different wavelengths and frequencies. Microwaves fall between infrared radiation and above radar radiation. X-rays fall above ultraviolet radiation and below gamma ray radiation. Visible light falls between infrared and through ultraviolet.
Explanation:
I don't think we can answer this question just like that. The question should be formulated a bit differently:
WHAT is in danger from the effects of overfishing?
Well, in the end of the "effect-spectrum" we are in danger, since we also eat fish. But the most affected species are the ones that form the aquatic ecosystems. Such as fish. Examples:
1 - Many of the fish we eat, feed on sea-weed. If there aren't enough fish to eat the growing population of sea-weed, many fish die of intoxication.
2 - We don't have almost any fish restrictions in a way, because we can eat basically all of them. Therefore, many fish (which are also being eaten) find themselves in a lack of food.
3 - Many times, we concentrate on a specific species, which is a main cause of the extinction of species.
