I believe the answer is "cranial".
Answer options:
- extraction and observation of DNA
- identification of ribose and deoxyribose
- recognition of RNA as DNA’s messenger
- construction of an accurate DNA model
Answer:
- identification of ribose and deoxyribose
Explanation:
Phoebus Levene was an American biochemist who studied the structure of DNA and RNA. He was able to isolate the sugars (ribose and deoxyribose) from the nucleic acids, which are an important part of their structure.
He also determined how the nucleic acid components combine to form the nucleotides, the basic building blocks of nucleic acids, and how the nucleotides combine in chains to form the polymer.
The correct answer is: Eubacteria.
The human microbiota is the name for all of the bacteria found within the human body. This aggregates of microorganisms are wide spread in different tissues, such as the skin, mammary glands, seminal fluid, uterus, saliva, oral mucosa, conjunctiva, gastrointestinal tracts.
Answer:
e. horizontal transfer of genes from a marine bacterium
Explanation:
Horizontal gene transfer is the transfer of genetic material from one independent mature bacterium to another and creates new gene combinations in the recipient bacterium. It mostly occurs between the bacterial of different species and is responsible for the spread of new genetic traits such as antibiotic resistance, digestion of specific substances, virulence, etc.
Transfer of genetic material from the donor to host bacteria can occur in three ways: transformation, transduction, and conjugation. According to the given information, marine Bacteroidetes have enzymes required to digest porphyran and agarose. <em>B. plebeius</em> might have acquired the genes for these enzymes from marine Bacteroidetes by horizontal gene transfer. This resulted in its ability to digest the marine seaweed while its close relative species cannot do so.
