What happens to dna as generations of a species continue to reproduce

Over time mutations occur. If the mutation is null (no effect) or beneficial, the organism will go on to reproduce and that mutation will carry into the next generation. Faulty mutations that cause harm will not likely be carried forward.
So, several generations later you have some level of change to the original sequence.

Answer:

D. Psychrophile

Explanation:

Psychrophiles or cryophiles are a type of extremophiles i.e. they live in extreme environment. They grow well in low temperatures ranging from -20 to +10 degree Celsius.

Here, the bacteria was incubated at different temperatures. It did not show growth at standard incubation temperature of 37°C which indicates that it might be an extremophile preferring either very hot or very cold environment. But it also did not show growth at 50°C which means that it does not survive well at high temperature.

Lab bench top has generally colder surface compared to the surrounding environment and a little growth was observed there which indicates that this bacteria might require cold temperature for growth. The result was finally confirmed with abundant growth observed inside refrigerator which is only possible if it is a psychrophile.

Bumek [7]

Explanation:

-the specific binding of a region of the protein to solutes or a substrate

Transmembrane proteins are embedded within the membrane from the extracellular fluid to the cytoplasm, and are sometimes attached to glycoproteins (proteins attached to carbohydrates) which function as cell surface markers or function as receptors.

These include receptor proteins that bind specifically to molecules called lingands; some also use channels which respond to chemical signals by modifying solute-specific regions that aid in regulating ion exchange, through the hydrophobic layer of the plasma membrane.
