A research scientist working for a pharmaceutical company discovers a plant toxin that is capable of blocking ribosome function.

However, only the function of ribosomes bound to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is affected. Would this toxin be able to negatively affect bacteria?

Answer:

Yes, definitely.Both Ribosomes  either of the ER, and those  free  in the cells perform the same function of protein synthesis. So  the toxin will affect bacteria process of protein synthesis negatively.

Explanation:

The major function of Ribosomes is to mediate the process of translation during protein synthesis. Ribosomes  through its  large and small units ensures that complementary codons and anticodons from the tRNA and mRNA are paired for correct sequence amino acids needed in polypeptides chains of protein. <u>Thus they convert genetic code, transcribed to mRNA to, amino acid sequence  in protein.</u>

<u />

Therefore, with the toxins blockade of the ribosomes functions,protein synthesis of bacteria is therefore blocked. Thus needed enzymes and hormones  for metabolic activities of  bacteria are blocked, and therefore the bacteria cells will be negatively affected.

Match the following terms and descriptions. 1. cloning most controversial method of genetic engineering 2. hybridization breedin
Savatey [412]

Correct matches of terms and its descriptions:

1. Cloning (most controversial method of genetic engineering)

2. hybridization ( breeding organisms because of beneficial traits)

3. recombinant ( DNA DNA from different biological sources that have been combined and culture)

4. selective breeding ( breeding two different species to make a new individual)

Selective breeding is also called artificial selection. Hybridization.is mating organisms of different species to create a hybrid.  Cloning produces similar copy of genetically identical individuals.

Birds and mammals have a four-chambered heart, but most reptiles have a three-chambered heart. How does this fact affect the con
eduard

Answer:

The animals present body structure is due to evolution. It is seen in each part including the structure of the heart. The vertebrate heart becomes complex from a simpler form.  

Invertebrates, the heart of fishes is two-chambered having one auricle and one ventricle. The deoxygenated blood gets purified in the gills. They are aquatic and no lungs for breathing. The hearts pump a mixture of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood to the body.  

The amphibians and reptiles have 3 chambered heart as they lead terrestrial mode of life. The gills modified into the lungs.  The left auricle receives pure blood and the right auricle receives deoxygenated blood. The blood purified in the lungs and in the ventricle, both types of blood get a mix. The ventricle pumps the mixed-blood throughout the body.

In the case of birds and mammal, the heart is 4 chambered and the oxygenated and deoxygenated blood are separated. These two are higher vertebrates. No mix of pure and impure blood, the body receives only the oxygenated blood.

This shows to construct the phylogenetic tree of vertebrates - the fishes should be in the bottom, and above it amphibians, reptiles, then, mammals and birds on the top branch of the tree. As the chambers and structure of the hearts modified one after another.
