You have a strain of bacteria that is defective for DNA glycosylase activity. You expose one culture of this strain to EMS and t

he other to cisplatin (a chemotherapy drug that creates bulky adducts on purine bases). You notice that the cisplatin is much more toxic to this mutant strain of bacteria than is the EMS. Explain your observation.

Answer:

Bacteria under successive rounds of selection may acquire genetic resistance to the treatment with mutagenic compounds including ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS).  

Explanation:

Artificial selection is a process known to generate resistance of the organisms under treatment. For example, this type of selection has been reported to generate resistance to the treatment with different chemical compounds including mutagenic chemical compounds (in this case EMS), antibiotic drugs, etc.

rosijanka [135]

<span>Covered by the two cerebral hemispheres, the diencephalon is the structure of the central nervous system that surrounds the third ventricle. It is composed of several other structures. The most important of them are the Thalamus, which plays a very important role in movements and emotions; and the Hypothalamus, which provides functions including thermoregulation, appetite and regulation of the sleep-wake cycle.</span>

PLZ HELP!!!! I'LL GIVE BRAILLIEST!!!<br><br><br> How does a tobacco mosaic virus reproduce???
Dominik [7]

Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is a simple rod-shaped helical virus that contains single stranded RNA situated at its middle and is surrounded by a protein coat called capsid. After tobacco mosaic virus enters its infected host cells through mechanical inoculation, it removes its capsid to release its single stranded viral nucleic acid which is then transported into the nucleolus. The single stranded viral RNA actuates the production of specific enzymes (RNA polymerases) and it also produces another RNA strand (replicative RNA). The new viral-RNAs are transported from the nucleus into the cytoplasm and functions as messenger-RNAs (mRNAs). Each mRNA, ribosomes, and t-RNA, of the infected host cell all controls the production of protein subunits (capsomeres). After the production of the preferred capsomeres, the new viral-RNAs arrange the capsomeres around it which lead to the production of a complete virus particle (virion). The viruses then migrate from one cell to another. Hence, creating organized infection.
