Answer:

The correct answer is B. It is false that the injection of the live rough bacteria into the mouse is a control because it was used as a standard of comparison for other experimental setups.

Explanation:

The experiment conducted by Frederick Griffith in 1928 was one of the first experiments to show that bacteria could transfer genetic information.

Griffith used two slightly different pneumococcal strains in his experiment. One of them was harmless to the mice, while the other was not. Using each strain separately, the logical thing happened: the mice died with the fatal strain, and nothing happened with the harmless.

Then, Griffith killed the deadly strain, and mixed both strains, introducing them into the mice. After this, the mice died, which allowed us to verify that the bacteria can transfer genetic material even after dying, through the transformation process.

Even a jumperless motherboard is likely to have one jumper. which jumper is it

vladimir1956 [14]

The answer is : A bios or cmos jumper. The jumper acts as a switch by closing (or opening) an electrical circuit. Clearing the CMOS on your motherboard will reset your BIOS settings to their factory defaults. After clearing the CMOS, you'll need to access the BIOS setup utility and reconfigure your hardware settings.

Compare and contrast point mutations and chromosome mutations and explain the basis for classifying a mutation as beneficial, ne

zepelin [54]

<span>Point mutations are of two types: Substitutions of bases that are the change of one base of DNA by another. And Transitions that are replaced on a pyrrhic basis by another pyrrhic or a pyrimidine by another pyrimidine. Transversions: substitution of a pyrrhic base by another pyrimidine or vice versa. These mutations are negative because they affect only one of the nucleotides, and therefore, only one triplet of bases are affected. When the mutation does not affect the individual it is a silent mutation. Chromosomal mutations Changes in the structure of the diploid chromosomes, where one of the chromosomes has a mutation, will have another normal. They can hinder the process of meiosis in the carrier since it hinders the correct pairing of the homologous chromosomes. It would produce an unfeasible offspring or with mutations.</span>

g In transcription, the 3'-hydroxyl group of the growing RNA strand: Group of answer choices NONE OF THESE binds to the 5' ribos

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

attacks the outermost phosphorous group of the incoming nucleotide.

Explanation:

Transcription is the biological process where RNA is formed. As you may already know, RNA is an extremely important nucleic acid for genetic processes and the production of proteins. The transcription has three steps that are called start, elongation and end. In the elongation phase, the RNA strand is growing, at this time, RNA polymerase, which is the enzyme responsible for RNA elaboration, places the nucleotides, in the RNA strand, in the 5' - 3' direction. This enzyme causes the hydroxyl, which makes up the nucleotide at the 3' end of the forming RNA, to attack the phosphorus present in the incoming ribonucleotide.
