Within a narrow range of temperatures, S. marcescens produces a red pigment called prodigiosin. Although the ultimate purpose of

the pigment is a mystery, it is known that at least 10 enzymes are required for its production. If one of these enzymes is rendered nonfunctional, how would you expect the appearance of the bacteria to change?

Answer:

Either the color will disappear or the brightness of the color will reduce as compared to the brightness in normal case.  

Explanation:

Non diffusible red pigment known as prodigiosin is a characteristics of S. Marcescens. Since, the red pigment is dependent on least 10 enzymes, it is clear that the pH and temperature range must be adequate for these enzymes to be functional. The optimum condition for pigment formation is 30 degree temperature and alkaline medium.

If any of the 10 enzymes become non-functional, the chances of attaining normal bright red color are not possible. Either the color will disappear or the brightness of the color will reduce as compared to the brightness in normal case.

When a motor neuron and the skeletal muscle cell it innervates are at rest:?
Nuetrik [128]

<span>Particularly the skeletal muscles at rest gain most of their energy from the aerobic respiration of fatty acids. Hence fatty acids provide the majority of the energy for muscle metabolism when a person is exercising at 25% of VO2max. However, the motor neuron is at rest when a neuron is not receiving any input there will be a potential difference. Thus, the potential difference measured when the neuron is inactive and it is caled the resting membrane potential. </span>

Which of the following does not promote biodiversity
bonufazy [111]
The correct option is INTRODUCTION OF EXOTIC SPECIES;
Exotic species refers to an introduced specie of an animal which is alien to the ecosystem in which it found itself and which has been transported to that ecosystem either intentionally or by accident. Exotic species normally have varieties of effects on the ecosystem to which they are introduced, sometimes the effect will be good and sometimes the effects could be devastating depending on the particular situation. 
Factors which promote diversity include: larger size of the ecosystem, longer growing seasons and climatic stability.<span />

Chromosomes only exist inside gametes true or false
netineya [11]

The male human has a sperm cell and the female has an egg cell. The cells from the male and female that combine to form a zygote are called gametes. The human sperm and egg cells each contain 23 chromosomes. . A combination of gametes forms a zygote with 46 chromosomes. The type of cell division that produces gametes with half the normal chromosome number is the meiosis. Meiosis is the type of cell division used in sexual reproduction. It will occur in the testes and ovaries.<span>Chromosomes get shuffled when eggs and sperm are made. Though most adult cells contain two sets of chromosomes, sperm and egg cells are different. These special cells have just one chromosome from each pair. Which chromosome they get from each pair is random, making each sperm or egg cell unique. There is also a bit of mixing before the chromosomes are sorted into individual sperm or egg cells. Chromosomes from each pair in a mother or father, respectively, make contact and exchange pieces of DNA, creating hybrid chromosomes. </span>
