The way in which humans are altering the envrionment is one of the main reasons why pathogens move from one species to another. The emergence of hemorrhagic fever in Argentina is an example of how human change to the environment has caused a cross-species transfer.
Answer:
Option D is correct
Explanation:
Luria broth contains yeast concentrate so it would show a marked B- galactosidase activity which is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of B- galactosides including lactose and it is the first step of lactose fermentation.
Answer:
They found evidence of an impact crater in Mexico
Explanation:
The K-Pg boundary is the boundary between the Cretaceous period and the Paleogene period, but also marking the end of the Mesozoic era and the beginning of the Cenozoic era. This boundary is dated to roughly 66 million years ago. The K-Pg boundary is characterized with a mass extinction. The dominant organisms on Earth all died out, including the dinosaurs, both terrestrial and aquatic, as well as the flying reptilians, with only the birds surviving from that super-family. The reason for the mass extinction has been an impact with an asteroid or a comet, that was very large and hit the Earth where the Yucatan Peninsula in modern day Mexico is located. The impact was devastating, with heat waves, tsunamis, earthquakes, triggering of the majority of the volcanoes, wildfires, all combined managed to devastate the environment, thus big portion of the species living in it as well. The lucky survivors were smaller organisms, and the mammals turned out to be the most successful in occupying the empty niches and have became the dominant organisms on the planet.
Channel protein is important because it is embedded in the membrane and it also covers the membrane. This is important because the channel must transport the micromolecules and ions in and out of the cell. Carrier proteins are important because the carrier must transport the molecule in and out of the cell.
Answer:
Migration distance is inversely proportional to the fragment size,
Explanation:
Gel electrophoresis is a technique used in molecular biology that uses electricity to separate biological molecules based on size (DNA) or charge (proteins). For the DNA molecule, different sizes are separated from one another based on how fast they can migrate through the gel matrix.
In this technique, small fragments or sizes of DNA migrates farther than long sizes of DNA due to low friction in the matrix. In other words, the smaller the size of the DNA fragment, the farther the migration distance and vice versa. This shows that an INVERSE RELATIONSHIP exists between the migration distance and the fragment size in the electrophoresis procedure.
