Answer:

B. Microbes may produce unique proteins useful in genetic research

Explanation:

Biodiversity refers to the diversity of living beings present on Earth. The biodiversity is a very important component of the ecosystem as these living organisms are interlinked with each other. Therefore, the loss of biodiversity will affect the ecosystem.

When we look at the biodiversity a layman considers the living organisms which can be seen with eyes but the diversity also exists at the level of the micro-organisms.

The man-made activities are not only harming the macroscopic but also microscopic organisms. The microbes play an important role in our life like these days they are used by the scientific community to study the genetic and related fields like molecular biology. The microbes produce proteins that are consumed by humans.

Thus, Option-B is correct.

A water sample could be negative for enterococcus and coliforms and still be a major public health threat. why?
melisa1 [442]
1. Enterococcus and coliforms can enter the water through feces. Although a water sample is negative for these bacteria, it could still be infected by pathogens from other sources than feces.

2. Culture media are sterilized by filtration because they could contain antibiotics or serum which deteriorate upon heat. Filtration is used in sanitation to remove large particles.

3. In the membrane filter technique, it is assumed that <span>all viable bacteria will form colonies. This means that formed colonies develop from the viable bacteria so that the number of colonies suggests the number of bacteria.

4. E. coli is negative for Citrate and Voges-Proskauer tests, and is positive for Indole and Methyl red tests.

5. The answer is yes because eo</span><span>sin-methylene blue agar is inhibitory to Gram+ bacteria.</span>

An mRNA sequence reads: GAA/GCU/AUA/CUA/UGU. What would the effect on the amino acid be if the second codon read GCA instead, an
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

D) Silent mutation on second codon, third amino acid changed from ILE to ASN.

Explanation:

Silent mutations are usually point mutation where you change one nucleotide. Since, the nucleotide changed is the third position, it does not affect the protein being manufactured (it will still put the amino acid Ala) [look up the codon redundancy on youtub.e to understand how awesome nature is!]

On the other hand, the other mutation introduced is Missense mutation where a different Amino acid is added due to change in codon (goes from ILE to ASN).
