Travka [436]

Answer:

flooding

Explanation:

The hurricane brings in enormous amounts of rainfall with it, often resulting in flooding. The ground squirrels in this scenario live relatively close to the ocean shore. They live in burrows, spending big portion of their time in them, as well as having their young ones sheltered in them. The heavy rainfall and the flooding of the area will result in filling the burrows with water. The damage for the population of ground squirrels will be enormous, with their young ones all drowning for sure, and the majority of the adults getting drowned as well, or maybe even all of them. Hope this helps!!!!!

A mutation that causes production of a defective pilus in a bacterium will prevent __________.
daser333 [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Attachment.

Explanation:

  • Pilus are thread like structures which are present on the surface of the bacterial cell.
  • They are mainly responsible for attaching the bacterial cells to a substrate, for obtaining food or to an eukaryotic cell for the purpose of infection.
  • Pilus also mediate the process of conjugation in some bacterial cells.
  • Conjugation is a process by which genetic material or plasmids are transferred from one bacteria to another through a channel formed in between the two bacteria by the help of the pilus.
  • Pilus also helps the bacteria by preventing them from getting recognised by the immune cells in the host.
  • A defective pilus will affect all the above processes, resulting in death of the bacteria.
