On a field expedition to Yellowstone National Park, you collected water samples from some of the hot springs in the hope of disc

overing new species of thermophilic bacterium. One such bacterium grew in the laboratory and after sequencing the entire genome of this new bacterium by the whole-genome shotgun approach, you use a computer program to search for start/stop signals for translation and homology searches based on similarity to cDNAs in the database. You predict approximately 20,000 genes. Is this an accurate representation of the total number of genes in the organism? Why or why not?

Answer:

No, it is not correct.

Explanation:

No, this is not an adequate representation for the total number of genes in the studied organism. The reason is because we are looking for start/stop signals to make comparisons with a database, and only genes that encode proteins carry start/stop signals; therefore, the 20,000 genes that were predicted correspond only to genes that encode proteins, leaving aside others that do not, so the estimate obtained is not correct.

Which list below describes the next steps of evaporated water through the water cycle?
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The correct answer would be A. Condensation, precipitation, runoff, groundwater.

Water cycle explains the cyclic movement of water through the four spheres of the earth.

The water undergoes different physical states while moving through the cycle.

It starts with the evaporation by surface water is transported from the hydrosphere to the atmosphere in the form of water vapors. Transpiration and sublimation also lead to the formation of water vapors in the atmosphere.

The temperature keeps decreasing as the water vapors rise up in the sky. The lower temperature condenses the water vapors into tiny drops which form clouds and fog in the sky.

The tiny droplets accumulate to form bigger droplets and with the combined effect of temperature, wind, and gravity they precipitate in the form of rain, snow, frost, dew et cetera.

The water that falls on the earth surface then runoff into water bodies like stream, lakes, river, seas, and oceans.

Some of the water infiltrates into the soil and form the groundwater.

You are given a protein with the following amino acid sequence:
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

 d. Lysine is replaced by tryptophan (nonpolar)

Explanation:

Amino acid substitutions can have varying affects on the protein function, depending on the specific substitution and the location of the substitution.

If the substitution occurs in an important region, for example an enzyme active site, then the function of the protein could be destroyed.

Additionally, if the substitution replaces the amino acid with a highly different amino acid with different properties (eg. polarity), it could alter the structure and function of the protein.

Replacing lysine (polar) with a tryptophan (non-polar) changes the properties of the amino acid at that location, whereas the other substitutions do not.

What do artists and scientists have in common
labwork [276]

What Artists and Scientists have in Common. ... I guess it is common knowledge that analytical scientists and creative artists are on opposite sides of a spectrum. But are they so different? Artists and scientists both have to be creative: they both have to develop original ideas and push frontiers.

Explain how diabetes can affect two other human body systems.
Leviafan [203]
Considering people who suffer from diabetes can have issues and need help with circumventing the difficulties this disease can pose for them, it's very possible that other people (who are part of the support structure/inner social group of the person who's suffering from it) would need to help him or her with his diabetes issues.

This answer explains how other people might be affected by someone having diabetes in their particular social group. I hope this was what you were interested in, your question seemed to ask this.
