Answer:

All the bacteria would appear purple(gram- positive)

Explanation:

Gram stain is used for distinguishing gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Gram-positive bacteria appear purple because it does not gets destain after decolorizing step and gram-negative bacteria appears read or pink because it gets decolorized after decolorizing step and then it gets stained by safranin which provides a pink color to gram-negative bacteria.

So if a student forgot the decolorizing step then gram-negative bacteria will not get decolorized and will not take safranin stain so even gram-negative cells will appear violet. Therefore all the bacteria will appear violet or purple(gram-positive).

Explain what are co-evolved mutations and how can they help with predicting protein structures?
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is as follows.

Explanation:

Coevolution is a phenomena where two related species evolve at the same time since they share a close relation. For instance, the relation between a predator as its prey or a virus and its hostage. This phenomena helps to predict protein structures, since by revealing the higher order structure of a protein we can predict the structure of other protein that have coevolved with it. This has been used in several studies, such as one 2015 study of Pandini and collaborators entitled "Coevolved Mutations Reveal Distinct Architectures for Two Core Proteins in the Bacterial Flagellar Motor".
