Answer:

25000 fragments

Explanation:

A restriction enzyme can cut a random DNA sequence once per every 4^n where n = number of bases in the recognition site of enzyme.

There are 6 bases in Xbal's recognition site (TCTAGA) so it will cut once per every 4^6 = 4096 bases (4kb).

Total genomic size = 100000kb

So expected number of fragments = Total genomic size/Size of one fragment

= 100000/4

= 25000 fragments

igomit [66]

Answer:

Some animals would be forced to migrate.

Explanation:

Animals and species cannot adapt, evolve, or go extinct in a matter of weeks. Adaptation and evolution happen over the course of hundreds of thousands of years and extinction would be unlikely unless there was an extremely endangered species that died when the forest was cut down.

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Can grow on MM1.

Explanation:

  • Organisms that can only grow in a media having specific nutrients included in it are called a fastidious organism, this implies that these organisms have specific nutrient requirements for their growth.
  • MM 1 represents the minimal media which has basic nutrients present in it, however as the fastidious organisms require some particular or complex nutrients for their growth they can not grow on the minimal media.
  • Therefore, since the organisms that are given in the question is able to grow on the minimal media MM1, this implies that it is not a fastidious organism.

How do global systems interact to affect ecosystems?
miskamm [114]

is a functional unit that results from interactions of abiotic, biotic, and anthropogenic components and are a combination of interacting, interrelating parts that form a unitary whole.  Ecosystems vary in size.  They can be as small as a puddle, or as large as the earth itself.  Basically, any living and non-living things interacting together can be considered an ecosystem.  Within each ecosystem, there are habitats that vary in size.  A habitat is a place where a population lives.  A population is a group of living organisms of the same kind living in the same place at the same time.  Natural ecosystems are made up of abiotic factors such as air, water, rocks, and energy and biotic factors such as plants, animals, and microorganisms.
