Answer:

<h3>The correct answers are :</h3>

<u>(B) They have nuclei </u>

<u>(C) They live in moist environments.</u>

Explanation:

Protists are very diverse group of organism, it contains all the organisms that does not fits into other kingdom. All of the protists are not heterotrophs some of them are autotrophs. They reproduce sexually but some of them reproduce asexually. Example: amoeba: binary fission. Some of the protists are multicellular. Some of them are unicellular too.

Which scenario describes a way that an abiotic factor can impact a marine system? Liquid water turning into solid ice encourages
Sloan [31]

Answer:

Rapid increases in water temperature cause extensive fish kills

Explanation:

Biotic factors are all living organisms that contribute to an ecosystem. On the other hand, abiotic factors are non-living factors, such as climatic factors (temperature, rainfall, wind), edaphic factors (soil type, soil texture, soil aeration etc). Changes of abiotic factors can have a huge influence on living organisms of ecosystem. The effects might be benefical or harmful.

Some of the most common abiotic factors that can impact a marine ecosystem are water temperature, currents, light, alkalinity, oxygent concentration etc.

If the genetically transformed cells have acquired the ability to live in the presence of the antibiotic ampicillin, then what m
V125BC [204]

Answer:

The plasmid must express a gene for ampicillin resistance (the protein product of  the <em>bla</em> gene codes for beta-lactamase, the protein that breaks down ampicillin). The colonies on the ampicillin plate are antibiotic resistant. This means that they have taken up the transformed plasmids expressing both the <em>bla</em> gene and the GFP gene.

Explanation:

The transformation involved the genetic modification of a plasmid to incorporate the gene encoding the green fluorescent protein (GFP) from jelly fish. GFP makes cells glow under UV light.

In genetic engineering, scientists use antibiotic resistance as markers to indicate cells that have been transformed. By incorporating an antibiotic resistance gene such as <em>bla</em> into the vector (plasmid) and then growing the cells in antibiotic media, scientists determine which colonies have taken up the plasmid. Therefore, if the cells survive, this means that they contain the plasmid with antibiotic resistance gene as well as the GFP gene.
