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.

brainly why is it said that the sun provide either direct or indirect energy to all living things on earth
n200080 [17]
The provide direct energy because they help it grow plants and when plants grow it helps us live. 
But it also provides indirect energy because the sun can cause droughts which is bad because with droughts we dont have enough water to water the plants and with that they dry out and die.

Which natural process has caused the fewest changes to global climates over time?
kati45 [8]
Earth's temperature depends on the balance between energy entering and leaving the planet’s system. When incoming energy from the sun is absorbed by the Earth system, Earth warms. When the sun’s energy is reflected back into space, Earth avoids warming. When absorbed energy is released back into space, Earth cools. Many factors,
