Transgenic bacteria could be very efficient at removing oil spills from seawater.Scientists believe that they could consume large quantities of oil from the BP spill and help the Gulf recover. These oilspills are a type of pollution and cause an impact on the environment.

 This trangenic oil-eating bacteria, can cause the emergence of various other mutant bacteria and end up being harmfull to humans (causing  respiratory, skin or gastrointestinal complications) and the environment (the broken down products of the oil are released twice as fast causing CO2 increase). 

To minimize these potencial negative impacts scientists could introduce a genetic material into a bacteriophage (a virus that infects bacteria) to give  microbes that already exist in the ocean the power to break down oil.

Another possible way to avoid the negative impacts of these bacteria is to create a new organism that thrives in the ocean, eats the oil, and needs a certain stimulant to live, that way when they finish their job the organism could be easily killed.

How specifies that are separated for a river, rocks, mountains, forest ; can at some point not being able to interbreed anymore
Allushta [10]

Answer:

Species separated by a physical barrier for a long time, suffer allopatric speciation, so they can not interbreed anymore.

Explanation:

Allopatric speciation consists of the geographic separation of a continuous genetic background giving place to two or more new geographically isolated populations. These separations might be due to migration, extinction of geographically intermediate populations, or geological events. In this speciation, some barriers impede genetic interchange, or genetic flow, as the two new populations that are separated can not get together and mate anymore. These barriers might be geographical or ecological.

Vicariance is the geographical separation of an original population into two or more new groups. Discontinuities in the physical environment like rivers, mountains, water, etc., are physical barriers that impede genetic flow between the separated groups.

The process of allopatric speciation involves different steps:  

  1. The emergence of the barrier.  
  2. Interruption in the genetic interchange
  3. The occurrence of new mutations and their accumulation in time in each population. Slow and gradual differentiation.
  4. Genetic divergence by natural selection and reproductive isolation makes it impossible for the two groups to mate even if the barrier disappears.  
  5. Prezigotic isolation mechanisms favored by selection once occurs a secondary contact between the new species in formation.

Which organism pictures is not an autotroph
professor190 [17]
An autotroph is an organism capable photosynthesis or chemosynthesis through reducing carbon dioxide, fats, sugars and/or proteins in a repetitive cycle of energy production and use to support its life. these include all plants, algae and certain bacterium.

its counterpart is the heterotroph which is reliant on outside sources for their means of energy. aka tertiary consumer: animals, fungi and certain bacterium

What is the boundary between the earths lower mantle and the upper mantle called ?
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

i have trusted my best to answer

Explanation:

Edit

The upper mantle of Earth is a very thick layer of rock inside the planet, which begins just beneath the crust (at about 10 km (6.2 mi) under the oceans and about 35 km (22 mi) under the continents) and ends at the top of the lower mantle at 670 km (420 mi). Temperatures range from approximately 200 °C (392 °F) at the upper boundary with the crust to approximately 900 °C (1,650 °F) at the boundary with the lower mantle. Upper mantle material which has come up onto the surface is made up of about 55% olivine, 35% pyroxene and 5 to 10% of calcium oxide and aluminum oxide minerals such as plagioclase, spinel, or garnet, depending upon depth.
