Answer:

Proteins are the end products of the decoding process that starts with the information in cellular DNA. As workhorses of the cell, proteins compose structural and motor elements in the cell, and they serve as the catalysts for virtually every biochemical reaction that occurs in living things. This incredible array of functions derives from a startlingly simple code that specifies a hugely diverse set of structures.

In fact, each gene in cellular DNA contains the code for a unique protein structure. Not only are these proteins assembled with different amino acid sequences, but they also are held together by different bonds and folded into a variety of three-dimensional structures. The folded shape, or conformation, depends directly on the linear amino acid sequence of the protein.

Halobacterium has a photosynthetic membrane that appears purple. its photosynthetic action spectrum is the inverse of the action
a_sh-v [17]

Yellow- Green Wavelength of light at peak absorption of 565nm.

Halobacterium is known to be a member of Archaea and they thrive in very salty environment such as Great Salt lake and Dead Sea. Halobacteria under the process of photosynthesis with chlorophyll and they make their ATP from the sunlight using bacteriorhodopsin and halorhodopsin as photosynthetic pigments.

However, photosensory pigements found in Halabacterium were:

1. photosystem 565 which is used to respond to yellow –green light in other for cell to find optimum conditions for ATP synthesis and photophosphorylation and they have peak absorbtion at 565nm.

2. Photosystem 370 nm appears to be responsible for the protective avoidance of blue/UV light.

What a corpse looks like after being burried 12 years?
podryga [215]
Already a few months prior after being buried, the body is already decaying. The body builds up with gas and has nowhere to go so the body becomes bloated thus attracting insects that break down the body and eat away as it progresses through the decaying process. The body goes through 5 stages of decay and thats autolysis and putrefaction. Autolysis, the body's enzymes begin to go into a meltdown and its sped up by extreme heat and slowed by extreme cold. Putrefaction is the bacteria that escapes from the body's intestinal tract and actually begins the process of literally melting the body down. Black purification is when the skin turns black and the corpse collapses and the gasses escapes. Fermentation is when the strong odors develop and there will be surface mold but the body has begun to dry out. Dry decay is when the cadaver has mostly dried out and the decaying process has slowed considerably. This when it starts taking longer but all the nasty stuff is over. So after twelve years and all that happens within the first years of being dead with or without a coffin at that. But in the end the body will be fully decomposed in 8-12 years and all that is left are the bones.

Which of these describes genetic drift?
Scilla [17]

Genetic Drift Defined. Populations of organisms are constantly changing and adapting to their environment. Drastic changes in environmental conditions can sometimes cause drastic changes to the gene pool of the population. Genetic drift is when chance events cause changes in frequencies of alleles in a population.
