Answer:
Dissimilatory- oxygen absent
Assimilatory- high concentration of nitrite
Explanation:
In assimilatory nitrate reduction, ammonium is produced and subsequently incorporated into biomass to build up e.g., proteins and nucleic acids. Dissimilatory nitrate reduction is a process for energy conservation, in which nitrate is used as an electron acceptor in the (near) absence of oxygen . Dissimilatory nitrate reduction and nitrate storage in particular are physiological life traits that provide microbes with environmental flexibility (i.e., metabolic activity under both oxic and anoxic conditions) and resource independence (i.e., anaerobic metabolism without immediate nitrate supply), respectively. Such life traits are especially important in environments that are temporarily anoxic and/or nitrate-free and they may have developed as a “life strategy” in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes
Answer:
The mentioned parental types are c+m- and c-m+. Thus, the recombinants will be c+m+ and c-m-.
Now, the given distance between c and m is 8 map units. Thus, the recombinant frequency is 8% or 0.08.
The total recombinants from 1000 plaques will come out to be 80,
Thus, the recombinants of each type will be 40.
Total parental type will be 920, and therefore, each parental type count will be 460.
Thus, expected c+m- = 460, expected c-m+ = 460, expected c+m+ = 40 and expected c-m- = 40.
3. Coconut juice was not an effective way to get rid of the green slime.
4. Homer's hypotheses is incorrect, because the green slime had no change in appearance after the coconut juice treatment.
