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.

Which source creates the most direct pollution?
Otrada [13]

Answer:

Water pollution is one of  the most common type of pollution that leads to the deterioration of the water quality mainly due to the man-made interference. Direct and indirect pollution are two of its types. Direct pollution as the term suggests refers to the direct flow of pollutants in the water in contrast to the indirect pollution that  accounts for the transport of pollutants eventually to the water body.

Explanation:

Direct pollution is characterized by the release of toxic fluid directly in the water body. The main source of this type of pollution are the toxic pollutants from the large factories. Some of the other sources includes solid waste from the household activities and waste from agricultural practice like fertilizers, and the waste generated by the waste water treatment plant.

What is the probability that a hybrid individual with the genotype AabbCcddEeFf will produce a gamete that has the genotype abCd
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

6.25%

Explanation:

Find the number of different gametes that can be produced

number of gametes produced = 2^n

n is the number of allele pairs that are heterozygous

there are 4 heterozygous allele pairs, these are: Aa, Cc, Ee and Ff

2^4 = 16

abCdeF is one of the 16 genotypes that could be produced

to find the percentage, divide 1 and 16 and multiply by 100

1 ÷ 16 = 0.0625

0.0625 × 100 = 6.25
