Answer:

How does a bacterial cell protect its own DNA from restriction enzymes?

B. by adding methyl groups to adenines and cytosines

Explanation:

The restriction modification system is for the cells defense mechanism. This system is composed of a restriction endonuclease enzyme and a methylase enzyme and each bacterial species and strain has their own combination of restriction and methylating enzymes.

Bacteria have restriction enzymes, also called restriction endonucleases, which cut double stranded DNA at specific points into fragments. This restriction enzymes don’t cleave the bacteria's own DNA because restriction enzymes do not exist in the bacterial DNA  sequence.

But is if the recognition sequences exist but the enzyme is methylation specific. Bacteria prevent their own DNA from chop down by restriction enzyme through methylation of the restriction sites. Methylation of DNA is a very familiar way to modify DNA function and bacterial DNA is highly methylated.

ipn [44]

Answer:

The correct answer is ''METAPHASE I.''      

Explanation:

Metaphase I is the stage in which chromosomal studies are generally performed, because its morphology is very clear. The chromosomes, moved by the mitotic spindle, are placed in the center, between the two asters and form the so-called metaphase plate, in which the chromosomes are positioned in such a way that the kinetochore of each sister chromatid are oriented towards the opposite poles. Keeping chromosomes on the cell equator implies a balance between the forces of the microtubules that tend to move the kinetochores toward opposite poles, so positioning them in the center involves a great deal of energy.In each kinetochore, between 20-30 microtubules can be anchored, which exert traction force towards the pole from which they come, so the metaphase plate is maintained by the balance between the opposite forces of the poles on the chromosomes, which hold their sister chromatids by centromeric cohesin.
