The answer is  b - high diversity and food.

Having a high starting diversity is an absolute prerequisite for a certain area to even start having a lot of different organisms living in the same spot. The other prerequisite is having a lot of food. This enables the nourishment of big numbers of different species which enable high biodiversity.

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

II, III, IV, I

Explanation:

Blood pressure regulation is an example of negative feedback mechanism. When the blood pressure is low, sensor in the blood vessels called baroreceptors detect this and send a signal to the control center which is the hypothalamus.

The hypothalamus compares the current blood pressure with the normal and proceeds to send signals to the heart, as well as blood vessels and kidneys. The heart begins to beat faster, thereby increasing the heart rate and a a result, blood pressure goes back up to normal.

How does a bacterial cell protect its own DNA from restriction enzymes?
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

How does a bacterial cell protect its own DNA from restriction enzymes?

B. by adding methyl groups to adenines and cytosines

Explanation:

The restriction modification system is for the cells defense mechanism. This system is composed of a restriction endonuclease enzyme and a methylase enzyme and each bacterial species and strain has their own combination of restriction and methylating enzymes.

Bacteria have restriction enzymes, also called restriction endonucleases, which cut double stranded DNA at specific points into fragments. This restriction enzymes don’t cleave the bacteria's own DNA because restriction enzymes do not exist in the bacterial DNA  sequence.

But is if the recognition sequences exist but the enzyme is methylation specific. Bacteria prevent their own DNA from chop down by restriction enzyme through methylation of the restriction sites. Methylation of DNA is a very familiar way to modify DNA function and bacterial DNA is highly methylated.
