Options:
a. It is a type of virus that infects bacteria.
b. It is a type of bacteria that infects viruses.
c. It is a virus consisting of a protein coat and a DNA core.
d. It is a bacterial strain consisting of protein and a DNA core.
Answer:
<u>Option-(A, C):</u> It is a type of virus that infects bacteria, and it is a virus consisting of a protein coat and a DNA core.
Explanation:
- The bacteriophage is a form of unicellular cell that comprises of a very specific form of structure, having the genetic materials intact inside the protein coat and the rest of the body is termed to be more of a crystalline in nature. As, the phage is categorized for having the main host as the bacterial cell, and it replicates itself by using the two main pathways which are the following:
- Lytic cycle,
- Lysogenic cycle.
1. Three nucleotides encode an amino acid. Proteins are built from a basic set of 20 amino acids, but there are only four bases. Simple calculations show that a minimum of three bases is required to encode at least 20 amino acids. Genetic experiments showed that an amino acid is in fact encoded by a group of three bases, or codon.
<span>2. The code is nonoverlapping. Consider a base sequence ABCDEF. In an overlapping code, ABC specifies the first amino acid, BCD the next, CDE the next, and so on. In a nonoverlapping code, ABC designates the first amino acid, DEF the second, and so forth. Genetics experiments again established the code to be nonoverlapping. </span>
<span>3. The code has no punctuation. In principle, one base (denoted as Q) might serve as a “comma” between groups of three bases. </span>
<span>This is not the case. Rather, the sequence of bases is read sequentially from a fixed starting point, without punctuation. </span>
<span>4. The genetic code is degenerate. Some amino acids are encoded by more than one codon, inasmuch as there are 64 possible base triplets and only 20 amino acids. In fact, 61 of the 64 possible triplets specify particular amino acids and 3 triplets (called stop codons) designate the termination of translation. Thus, for most amino acids, there is more than one code word.</span>
Answer:
The cell membrane is a biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment which protects the cell from its environment.
Answer:
No, it is not possible to produce black offspring from two pure-breeding recessive albino parents. If he would have mated the female with a white male, the whole progeny should be white.
