How do bacteria maintain their internal ph despite the ph of the environment in which they grow?

The answer to this question would be: by producing buffer

The pH of optimal growth of bacteria might be different. Some bacteria can grow in an acid condition called acidophile, other live in base condition called alkaliphiles and the rest live in neutral pH condition called neutrophiles. The bacteria can maintain their internal pH by producing acid, base or buffer. If the surrounding pH is too acid, the bacteria can reduce the H+ concentration by producing base. If the condition is too alkali/base, the bacteria can produce acid by doing fermentation.

Which of the following statements correctly describes the effect a nonsense mutation would have on a gene?a) It changes an amino
TEA [102]

Answer:

c) It introduces a premature stop codon into the mRNA

Explanation:

Nonsense mutation is a type of point mutation (single nucleotide base is changed) which leads to premature stop codon. Stop codons are also called nonsense codons and that is way this type of mutation is called nonsense mutation. As a consequence, synthesized protein is incomplete and shorter than it should be (truncated protein), usually nonfunctional.

Show how two phenotypically normal parents can produce a male child with color-blindness.
Ronch [10]

Answer:

The female (XcX) is carrier for color blindness while the male (XY) is normal. The carrier female transmits its one X chromosome with gene for color blindness to one of her sons making him color blind.

Explanation:

Color blindness is X linked recessive disorder and followed the criss-cross inheritance wherein the color blind sons get the gene from their carrier/affected mother while the color blind father would transmit the gene to his daughters along with X chromosome.

Since both the parents are normal, the mother (XcX) should be carrier for the disease to get the color blind son. A cross between carrier mother (XcX) and normal father (XY) would make 50% of their sons color blind.

Name the type of bacteria involved in the process labelled B
Zanzabum

Picture attached

Answer:

Nitrifying bacteria

Explanation:

The process labelled B is the conversion of inorganic nitrogen from organic products to atmospheric nitrogen. This process is called denitrification.

Denitrification is a process where nitrate is reduced to molecular nitrogen  through a series of intermediate products. This processed is carried out by bacteria called denitrifying bacteria.

Denitrifying bacteria are an important part of the nitrogen cycle.
