. 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.

People with diseases that result in the malabsorption of which nutrient are at risk for a vitamin d deficiency?
grigory [225]

Inadequate dietary vitamin D or its deficiency leads to malabsorption of calcium. Nutritional disorder leads to the rare disease rickets, which causes bones to become soft and bend in children. In adults, vitamin D deficiency leads to osteomalacia, which causes weak bones, bone pain and muscle weakness.

The body needs vitamin D to properly absorb calcium and phosphorus from the diet. However, keeping the right quantities of calcium and phosphorus in bones is challenging when vitamin D levels are low.

The two sources of vitamin D are-

  • Natural sunlight
  • Foods such as fish oil, Egg yolk and fatty fishes like salmon and mackerel

There are other disease conditions which lead to poor absorption of vitamin D-

  • Inflammatory bowel disease
  • Celiac diseases
  • Kidney problems

Answer: Warm-Up:

Write down two places in the school where

you think there might be a lot of bacteria,

and write down two places in the school

where you think there will be very little

bacteria. Explain why you chose these

places.

Explanation:

There is a lot of bacteria in the restroom because it is they restroom of course and there is a lot of people who go in and out through out the day. Some people do not wash their hands after using the bathroom, also from other places. One of the most cleanest areas might be the science lab because they are always cleaning up everything and disinfecting.

If the sympathetic nervous system prepares your body for ____________, the parasympathetic nervous system prepares your body for
bogdanovich [222]
Flight; fight
The sympathetic is used to speed things up, stopping things like digestion in order to supply more blood to the heart and lungs, while the parasympathetic does the opposite; digesting food and working on internal things while the heart rate and breathing rate slow.
