. Imagine the following scenario. A bacteriophage taken for the treatment of cholera infects a cholera-causing bacterium and tem

porarily enters the lysogenic stage. When the virus re-enters the lytic cycle, it includes some pieces of the bacterial DNA in its own genome. Specifcally, this DNA encodes information for making the cholera toxin. Imagine some of the possible consequences of this scenario. What will happen to the next bacteria that the virus infects

Answer:

The virus will transfer the DNA encoding cholera toxin to the next bacteria it infects, which will make that bacteria cholera-causing.

Explanation:

The process described in this question is a kind of gene transfer in bacteria called TRANSDUCTION. Transduction is the transfer of fragments of DNA from one bacterium to another via a virus called bacteriophage.

As stated in this question, the virus (bacteriophage) infects a cholera-causing bacterium. The bacteriophage moves from lysogenic cycle to lytic cycle and includes some pieces of the bacterial DNA, which encodes information for making the cholera toxin, in its own genome.

This means that the cholera-making toxin DNA is now a part of the virus's genome and hence, will transfer it to the next bacteria it infects in a process called TRANSDUCTION. This will make that bacteria a cholera causing bacteria.

Answer:

Solutions are formed when the water's polar molecules separate the polar molecules of an ionic or molecular compound

Explanation:

Water can hydrogen bond to other molecules due to the O-H bond present in water with partial charges. Water can form hydrogen bonding with other polar molecules. The answer would hence be Solutions are formed when the water's polar molecules separate the polar molecules of an ionic or molecular compound(because polar water dissolves polar molecules in between their interactions).

Which of the following is UNLIKELY to affect bone remodeling?
S_A_V [24]

Glucagon

This is a hormone that deals with blood sugar homeostasis. When blood sugar levels are low, glucagon is produced to convert the fats in the reserve back to glucose until normal levels are achieved.

Explanation:

Bone remodeling involves coordinations of osteoclasts and osteoblasts cells in the bone. The former breaks down bone tissue while the latter mineralizes bones. Calcium is the main ion in the body significant in mineralization of bone. Excess Ca2+ is stored in bone while low calcium levels in blood result in bone resorption.  

Stress on a bone also causes increased mineralization to strengthen the bone against this stress. This is why astronauts when they go to space, due to less stress from low gravity, bone loses its mass. When they return back to earth, the bone readjusts to the increased stress from higher gravity by increased mineralization.

The hormone responsible for bone homeostasis is parathyroid hormone.
