If lac+ Hfr bacteria mated with a lac- F- bacteria in an interrupted mating experiment, the F- bacteria will only gain the abili

ty to metabolize lactose if a copy of the lac+ gene recombines with the F- bacteria’s chromosome. Why is recombination into the bacterial chromosome necessary? Recombination is required in order to convert the F- bacteria into Hfr bacteria capable of expressing the genes to metabolize lactose. Although the incoming DNA from the Hfr cell forms a circle, the lac+ locus is not active on a plasmid. Linear DNA is unstable in bacterial cells and unless the lac+ gene is recombined into the bacterial chromosome, it will be destroyed. Recombination is necessary to remove the lac- gene from the bacterial chromosome as this would interfere with the function of the lac+ gene from the Hfr cell. Recombination is required in order to convert the F- bacteria into F+ bacteria capable of expressing the genes to metabolize lactose.

Answer:

Linear DNA is unstable in bacterial cells and unless the lac+ gene is recombined into the bacterial chromosome, it will be destroyed.

Explanation:

Bacterial recombination is a kind of hereditary recombination in microorganisms described by DNA move starting with one life form called giver then onto the next creature as beneficiary. This cycle happens in three principle ways:  

1. Change, the take-up of exogenous DNA from the general condition.  

2. Transduction, the infection interceded move of DNA between microscopic organisms.  

3. Formation, the exchange of DNA starting with one bacterium then onto the next by means of cell-to-cell contact.

Recombination into the bacterial chromosome necessary because linear DNA is unstable in bacterial cells and unless the lac+ gene is recombined into the bacterial chromosome, it will be destroyed.

How might an individual's own cells lead to false verdicts of guilt.
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Through a circumstance known as "secondary transfer DNA", or "Touch DNA".

Explanation:

Most times when a crime is committed, DNA samples are obtained from surfaces in the scene where the crime was committed. There is a very huge possibility of picking up the DNA of someone who was never at the scene of the crime and this is a result of a condition known as Touch DNA.

Because we touch several objects which can be moved to different locations and touch people who are also always mobile, our DNA cells can find their ways to a crime scene where we had never physically been to. This can lead to false verdicts of guilt.

Hey there,

Answer: <span>The mouse, because it is an Endothermic and therefore its standard metabolic rate is higher than the lizard's standard metabolic rate.

Hope this helps :D
