5. Imagine that you encounter two color morphs of S. marcescens in natural environment. If you do not have any prior knowledge o

n the prodigiosin synthesis pathway of these Serratia species, will you consider the red and white Serratia colonies as one species or two species? Do you think we should designate species based on morphological traits or genetic differentiation? Without limiting to the S. marcescens experiment, provide evidence and example to support your claim.

Answer:

According to the given question that without prior knowledge on the prodigiosin synthesis pathway of these Serratia species, and we experience two different color morphs of the species. So, there is given or known preliminary morphological basis we will consider them different two different colonies. These can be identify only after genetically identify or study.

The morphological characterstics of the organism and the genetic identification both are equally important. So Giving any one more importance over other is not logical.

Morphologically we can differentiate the color of the colonies of mutants. The mutant serratia sp. are  known for eficient biosynthesis of prodigiosin, Thus on the basis of color characteristics of their colonies when grown on peptone glycerol medium we can identify.

Protection- the cranium and ribs protect the brain and vital organs in the chest

Shape- gives shape to the body and makes you tall or short

Support- holds your vital organs in place when playing sports. The vertebrae column holds the body upright

Movement- muscles are attached to bones, which are joined. When the muscles contract, the bones move

Blood Production- red blood cells(to carry oxygen) and white blood cells(to protect against infection) are produced in the bone marrow of some bones

If thymidine dimers created by UV irradiation persist until DNA replication, DNA polymerase is likely to make a mistake reading
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Thymidine dimers is likely to be repair as soon as it is originated but if left unrepaired then it causes  frame shift mutations.

Explanation:

In case of Bacterium if UV irradiation induces covalent linkage of two thymidine present adjacently to each other or on a single strand to make thymidine dimers.

These either excised via DNA repair enzyme like Endonuclease V and the proof reading activity of DNA polymerase I enzyme help in incorporation of nucleotide by taking the unmutated original strand as a template.

These dimers if not excised before second round of replication than the sequence of newly synthesized strand will be altered. As DNA polymerase III enzyme read thymidine dimers as single thymidine nucleotide and incorporate only 1 adenine in the newly synthesizing complementary strand which results in frame shift mutations

It is the mutation in which reading frame of codons is shifted or altered due to deletion or addition of a single nucleotide.
