Answer:

Number of bacteria required = 20000

Explanation:

Given -

Size of each bacterium = 3 micrometers long

These bacteria are arranged end to end.

The size of chain to be formed is equal to 6 centimetres

Let us say that in forming a chain of 6 centimetres nearly X number of individual bacterium are required.

hence, number of bacterium required to form 6 centimetres  chain can be represented as

X = \frac{6 * 10000}{3} \\X = 20000

Number of bacteria required = 20000

yKpoI14uk [10]
Marshmallows are probably so delicious because of several important factors. They are fluffy, soft, and oh-so sweet.

Explain why organisms are more likely to be well preserved in mud than in sand? Justify your response in
xenn [34]

Organisms are well preserved in mud because mud has high water holding capacity. It retains water and does not allow oxygen flow which can destroy the remains of organisms. There are some microbes that preserved whose growth are enhanced in water related environment like mud.

But sand cannot retain or hold water. It drains it off and all oxygen bearing water to flow which enhance decay compared to mud. It can't preserve organisms because of the above reasons.

While the introduction of the mutant synthetase gene restored some of the growth characteristics, this strain still does not gro
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

A and D

Explanation:

Transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) is a type of RNA that decodes mRNA (messenger RNA) into protein. This phenomenon is known as translation.

If the strain of mutant synthetase gene does not grow fast despite having growth characteristics, the following possibilities could happen:

  • Sometimes histidine tRNA sends asparagine instead of histidine to other proteins where histidine residue should have been present for growth.
  • The normal synthetase might be present but not in an adequate amount.
