Answer:

Plasmid DNA play a important role for survival of a prokaryotic cell.

Option D is correct one.

Explanation:

In addition to the chromosome, many prokaryotes have plasmids, which are small rings of double-stranded extra-chromosomal ("outside the chromosome") DNA. Plasmids carry a small number of non-essential genes and are copied independently of the chromosome inside the cell. They can be transferred to other prokaryotes in a population, sometimes spreading genes that are beneficial to survival.

For instance, some plasmids carry genes that make bacteria resistant to antibiotics. (These genes are called R genes.) When the plasmids carrying R genes are exchanged in a population, they can quickly make the population resistant to antibiotic drugs. While beneficial to the bacteria, this process can make it difficult for doctors to treat harmful bacterial infections.

Arrange the order of events for the internalization of LDL particles into cells:
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The correct answer is "5-1-3-2-4".

Explanation:

Internalization of LDL particles into cells, is needed to form the intracellular vesicles known as endosomes. The order of events that allow for this process are:

5) LDL receptors migrate to the cell surface and cluster in clathrin-coated pits. Clathrin acts directing the receptors to the cell membrane region where endosomes are formed.

1) A combination of cholesterol and apolipoprotein binds to LDL receptors and becomes internalized as endocytotic vesicles. Once the receptors are in the proper cell membrane region, cholesterol and apolipoprotein are bound and internalized.

3) Several endocytotic vesicles fuse to form an endosome.

2) The environment of the endosome becomes acidic, which causes the LDL to dissociate from its receptor; additionally, the endosome fuses with a lysosome. LDL should be dissociated from its receptor since it is going to be degraded in the following step.

4) The LDL particle is degraded by the lysosome. This takes place after endocytosis, when LDL particles are transported into lysosomes once they are fused, cleaving the cholesterol esters into cholesterol and fatty acids.

Dr. J. Hipsterman has been trying to understand the virulence of the nasty skin pathogen, Iowackius hockious, which causes skin
mote1985 [20]

Answer: A. sorE encodes a gene that increases I. hockious virulence

Explanation:

Notice that at the start of the study, there were 10 times mutant gene lacking sorE compared to the wild type. After 24 hours, it reduced to 5 times compared to the wild type, this is an indication that sorE is a virulence gene and it's absence reduces the virulence of the bacteria.

An mrna has the sequence 5'-augaaauccuag-3'. what is the template dna strand for this sequence?
Ann [662]
The answer is 3'-TACTTTAGGATC-5. DNA is essentially a storage molecule. ir contains all of the instructions a cell needs to sustain itself. these instructions are found within genes which are sections of DNA made up of specific sequences of nucleotide. in other case RNA molecules carries message form DNA to other parts of the cell for processing. This specific type of RNA that carries the information stored in DNA to other areas of the call is called mRNA

In studying the gene pool of a population, you find that 15% of the population is homozygous recessive (tt) for a trait. How wou
Greeley [361]

Because we know that 15% of the population does not have the allele we can assume that at least 85% of the population has at least on copy of the dominant allele.

What is happening in a fish tank if amonia is building up
Ratling [72]
There are two things that occur in aquarium ammonia chemisty. 1. the build up of natural ammonia and nitrate in the water. 2. displacement of oxygen in the water caused by the ammonia. This is a very real threat especially when you have a new tank that is still cycling or when the biological filter has been upset or removed.

Look for these main symptoms if you suspect ammonia poisoning in your fish tank:
-loss of appetite
-lethargic fish
-fish gasping for air/breath at the top of the water
-fish laying at the bottom of the tank
-red/purple gills
-red streaking on the fish's body
- fins becoming torn and jagged
-scales on fish falling off or turning black
