attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Option a, survive in extreme environments

Explanation:

Both Thermus and Deinococcus belong to the group of bacteria that are collectively termed as Deinococcus–Thermus group.

Deinococcus are radiation-resistant vegetative cell as they are able to resist ionising radiation. Also some species of Deinococcus are thermophile.

Thermus are thermophilic bacteria that are able to live in extreme temperature condition and thus are able to tolerate high temperature.

Hence, option A is correct.

Consider the evidence that explains how physical separation of two populations of a species can cause speciation. What effect do
Tom [10]

Answer:

  • Interruption in the genetic flow between separated groups
  • The emergence of new mutations in each of the groups, and their accumulation in time. Slow and gradual differentiation between populations.
  • Genetic divergence by natural selection and reproductive isolation
  • Prezigotic isolation mechanisms

Explanation:

Allopatric speciation consists of the geographic separation of a continuous genetic background that can give place to two or more new geographically isolated populations. These separations might be due to migration, extinction of geographically intermediate populations, or geological events. In this speciation, some barriers impede genetic interchange, or genetic flux, as the two new groups that are separated can not get together and mate anymore. These barriers might be geographical or ecological.

The process of allopatric speciation involves different steps that affect organisms:

  • The emergence of the barrier.
  • Interruption in the genetic interchange
  • The occurrence of new mutations and their accumulation in time in each population. Slow and gradual differentiation.
  • Genetic divergence by natural selection and reproductive isolation makes it impossible for the two groups to mate even if the barrier disappears.
  • Prezigotic isolation mechanisms will be favored by selection if occurs a secondary contact between the new species in formation.

Which statement describes the moment magnitude scale? A. It measures only small earthquakes. B. It collects data using a seismog
Verdich [7]

Answer:

The moment magnitude scale is a scale that rates earthquakes by estimating the total energy released by an earthquake . Estimating the total amount of energy released, enables comparison of earthquakes more accurately.

This scale can be used to rate earthquakes of all sizes, near or far. The following statements describe the moment magnitude scale:

B. It collects data using a seismograph.

D. It estimates the total energy released from an earthquake.

E. It determines the amount of damage caused by an earthquake.

Researchers have identified a mutant form of sigma factor that binds more tightly to the core polymerase enzyme compared to a no
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The transcription rate will slow down in the cells that carry mutant sigma factor.

Explanation:

Sigma factor play an important role during initiation of transcription.The sigma factor binds to the core RNA polymerase(that contains alpha,beta,beta dash and omega subunit) to form hollow enzyme.

          The binding to sigma factor to core RNA polymerase initiates the formation closed promoter complex and the release of sigma factor result in the formation of open promoter complex that signals the ending of transcription initiation.

     Now if the sigma factor binds tightly to the core RNA polymerase then it will be difficult for the sigma factor to get dissiciated from hollow enzyme,as a result transcription will remain in the initiation phase. So the process cannot enter the elongation phase.
