Biology

Tamiku [17]3 years ago
4 0
Spontaneous generation was a (refuted) theory that some forms of life can arise from inorganic matter. 

Louis Pasteur refuted it in a series of experiments, in which he boiled different matter (grape juice, broth) which would kill all the bacteria and let it stay for a long time to see if it would develop life (he also had a control condition in which he let the boiled liquid interact with the outside words, and those would develop bacterial life).

inessss [21]

Answer:

Phytoplanktons are producers

Squid are secondary consumers

Leopard seals are quaternary consumer

Explanation:

Phytoplanktons are producers because this are small plants that produce their own food by the process know as photosynthesis

Consumers are organisms that depends on plants for survival. They cannot produce their own food like plants. Fish are primary consumers because they eat plants. When Squids eat fish , squid is considered a secondary consumer because they eat  the primary consumer.

Leopard seals are quaternary consumer because they are at the top of the food chain or the tertiary consumer. They eat the primary and the secondary consumer

How will you determine which strain is wild type and which strain is mutant? Can you justify your answers using molecular biolog
Levart [38]

Answer: The simplest way is to determine if a strain is mutant is observing morphology, growth rate, double time, etc but it is accurate if you can prove if the strain is deficient in one aminoacid or can't metabolize lactose, etc.

Explanation: A wildtype strain functions normally, for example, can metabolize as a carbon source, glucose, lactose and other sugars, can synthesize all the aminoacids requered for protein synthesis, etc. If a strain suffers a mutation and it is inheritable, the strain become a mutant. Since several mutations can be silent ones, only those that interfere with a process, can be assesed easyly.

For example, if you have several strains and put them in a lactose medium, but some of them cannot growth means that are lactose mutants. Those strains could carry a mutation in genes that encode lactose degrading enzymes or in regulatory genes of the lac operon, etc.

There are three ways that natural selection can chnage a population. list all three of them AND then describe atleast 2 of them.
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Four conditions are needed for natural selection to occur: reproduction, heredity, variation in fitness or organisms, variation in individual characters among members of the population. If they are met, natural selection automatically results.

Explanation:

Evolution, in genetic terms, involves a change in the frequency of alleles in a population over time. What are the sources of genetic variation? Three sources of genetic variation are mutation, genetic recombination during sexual reproduction and lateral gene transfer.
