A cluster of cases of legionellosis have occurred in your neighborhood. People with the illness have cough, fever, shortness of

breath, chest pain and sometimes diarrhea. The illness is caused by the bacterium Legionella pneumophila, a facultative intracellular parasite that survives in certain ameba. The organism has an absolute requirement for L-cysteine. Typically, the organism is grown on buffered charcoal yeast extract (BCYE) agar. In some labs, samples containing suspected L. pneumophila are cultured on traditional BCYE medium as well as BCYE medium lacking L-cysteine. How would L. pneumohila be identified in this situation

Answer:

The correct answer is - comparing the presence of an essential component of the L. pneumophila that is cysteine.

Explanation:

As we know that L-cysteine is essential for the organism L. pneumophila to grow its colonies. The identification is easy in this situation by comparing the two cultured on the traditional BCYE medium and BCYE medicum without L-cysteine.

Colonies that grow on traditional BYCE medium are likely L. pneumophila as they required L-cysteine but not on BYCE medium lacking cysteine.

What conditions cause the vacuole to fill with water.
Pie

Answer:

I don't think that's a condition, the vacuole is like a storage area so it would make sense for it to store water.

In mice, the ability to run normally is a dominant trait. Mice with this trait are called running mice (R). The recessive trait
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Parental genotypes: RrBb, RRBB

Offspring phenotype: Running and black hair

Explanation:

Given, Running (R) is dominant over waltzing (r)

Black hair (B) is dominant over brown hair (b)

Parent 1: Heterozygous running, heterozygous black = RrBb

Parent 2: Homozygous running, homozygous black = RRBB

When they mate ( RrBb X RRBB ) :

Gametes produced by RrBb = RB, Rb, rB, rb

Gametes produced by RRBB = RB

Offspring:

        RB          Rb         rB        rb

RB   RRBB    RRBb    RrBB    RrBb

All offspring mice will be running mice and will have black hair because all the four types of genotype at least have one dominant allele for both the genes.
