Do temperate phage form plaques? Explain?

1 answer:

6 0

Temperate phages incorporate their DNA into their hosts' DNA. This is known as lysogenic phase. But, in this case, the host cells are not lysed, and therefore, a plaque is not formed.

As scientists have developed more productive crop varieties, farmers have switched from growing many traditional varieties to ne

WARRIOR [948]

The answer is A. The reduction in variety reduces the number of alleles for each gene in the gene pool. This reduces the variations in the phenotypes of the crops. A disadvantage of this phenomenon is that it would be difficult for the crops to withstand environmental changes and calamities because there is no wide variation on which natural selection could act upon to enable the crops to adapt to these changes.

For the gene encoding the first protein listed, what does the number 22,877 indicate?

vredina [299]

The table given in the figure below reflects the data being referred to (from the book: Campbell Biology Australian and New Zealand Edition by Reece, et al. (2014)).
The number 22,877 of the gene that encodes the first protein with the protein ID 298599 indicates that the amount of the RNA transcript of this gene made in the mycorrhizal parts of the fungus was 22,877 times higher when they were associated with the Douglas fir compared to those made in soil mycelium away from the root of the plants.

Why are energy pyramids shaped the way that they are?

Keith_Richards [23]

The energy pyramid is shaped like a triangle to show how not all the energy of one organism transfers to the next level. The triangle decreases in size going up as does the amount of energy transferred. A graphical model that is shaped like a pyramid to show how the energy flows through a food chain, how the amount of energy is decreasing and becoming less available for organisms as it enters each trophic level, and how much of the energy in the ecosystem is lost to the atmosphere as heat.
