Answer:

Bacterial transformation is the transfer of free DNA released from a donor bacterium into the extracellular environment that results in assimilation and usually an expression of the newly acquired trait in a recipient bacterium

Answer:

Bacteria take DNA from their environment.

Explanation:

Bacterial transformation is a process of horizontal gene transfer by which some bacteria take up foreign genetic material (naked DNA) from the environment. ... The prerequisite for bacteria to undergo transformation is its ability to take up free, extracellular genetic material. Such bacteria are termed as competent cells

Evaluate the lab and data collected. What type of transport occurred in this lab? Explain your answer, including evidence from y
andreev551 [17]

To know what type of transport occurred the lab and collected data are needed. As they are not present an explanation of the different transport's types, will be given.

Water, proteins, ions, and molecules of different sizes can pass through the cell membrane using different types of transports. The transport that each molecule uses depends on the concentration, size, and polarity.

We can classify the types of transport as active and passive.

Passive transport is the one that does not need energy to happen since the molecules move from a place of high concentration to a one of lower concentration. In this group, we have:

  • Simple diffusion: small molecules in high concentration on one side of the membrane; move to the other side due to the difference in concentration.
  • Osmosis: water passes through the membrane from a place of low concentration of molecules to one of high concentration. Water moves inside or outside the cell to valance the concentration of solutes on both sides of the membrane.
  • Facilitated diffusion: uses proteins to transport large molecules, ions, or hydrophobic molecules from one side to the other. In this type of transport, we have proteins that form channels so those hydrophobic molecules can pass through the lipid membrane, and carrier proteins, which binds to a specific molecule changing their shape and transporting the molecule.

Active transport needs the<em> energy</em> to transport molecules; since it goes against the gradient's concentration. In this group, we have:

  • Sodium-Potassium pump: uses ATP to move sodium outside the cell and potassium to the inside. The ions with this transport go to where they are most concentrated.

In conclusion, there are different types of transport; they depend on the concentration or type of molecule. To find out what mechanism of transport occurred in the lab, look at the components of the experiment and analyze which of these transports could be present.

"the term normally applied when two genes fail to assort independently is ________."
IgorC [24]
LINKAGE

Independent assortment refers to the allele segregation of two different genes. They are expected to be segregated from each other independently.This is not seen in monohybrids, they are usually heterozygous for an allelic pair only. Link genes cannot assort independently. These are inherited together during meiosis phase of sexual reproduction. Usually genes that are close together will tend to stick together resulting into inheritance of genes as pairs.
