Answer: Mechanical weathering                                                                                  

Explanation: Mechanical weathering breaks rocks into smaller pieces without changing their composition. Ice wedging and abrasion are two important processes of mechanical weathering. Chemical weathering breaks down rocks by forming new minerals that are stable at the Earth's surface.

How did your results change as the number of trials you completed increased? Why was it important for
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Due to change in genetic combination.

Explanation:

The results change as the number of trials increased because variation occur in the genetic combinations of chickens. It is important to breed the chickens repeatedly in this experiment in order to gain accuracy and attain best results. If the chicken is breed repeatedly, at the beginning changes occur in their offspring due to change in their genetic makeup so for accurate results repetition is necessary.

Part D - Lysogenic Replication in a BacteriophageNow that Lauren knows that she has a lytic bacteriophage, she decides that she
sesenic [268]

A. Lysogeny.

B. Lysogenic conversion

C. Temperate phages

D. Induction

E. Prophage

Explanation:

Lysogenic replication or lysogeny is the process of a bacteriophage invading the host’s cell, grows, replicates for generations, multiply by undergoing lysis in the host’s cell.

The basic steps of lysogenic or lytic life cycle are:

  1. Attachment of the phage with the host’s surface
  2. Penetration of the DNA to the host’s cell
  3. Biosynthesis of phage protein through replication of phage DNA
  4. Maturtion and assembly of phage particles
  5. Lysis to release new phages

Apart from these, under certain conditions, lysogenic replication can occur by:

Lysogenic conversion where the phenotype of a normal bacterium is converted and becomes pathogenic and produces harmful proteins and cause diseases

Other phages which can undergo lysogenic replication cycle are called temperate phages

Prophage is a type of bacteriophage which is inactive but remains in the chromosome of the host cell which powers the bacterium to be resistant to infections caused by other viruses.

Induction is the process of excision of the phage from the host’s chromosome through physical or chemical methods.
