. 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.

Evaluate whether a sea beeze could occur night
Natalija [7]

Answer:

During the night the water releases it's heat much slower causing the air over the water to be warmer than the air over the land. This ends up working the same as the sea breeze only this time the lower pressure is over the sea and the air then moves from the land.

How are mean and median alike?how are they different?
Vlada [557]

Answer:

Mean is the average you'll get when you add all your numbers then divide by the number of numbers you have. On the opposite side, median is the middle number within your list of numbers. If there isn't a middle number, take the two middle numbers and add them. Now, for how they are alike, I'm not so sure :'), but my closest guess would be they are fairly close together.

Sorry it's so long, hope I helped you :')
