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

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.

Simple epithelia have more layers for protection, whereas stratified epithelia allow materials to move across them and are less
xeze [42]

Answer: False.

Explanation:

Epithelial tissue is found in the linings of many structures throughout the body. There are two kinds of epithelial tissue: simple and stratified. And they  perform different functions and are structured differently.

The simple epithelium consists of one single layer of cells. In this way, all cells are in direct contact with the basement membrane and are separated from the connective tissue. The main function of this epithelium is <u>absorption and filtration.</u>

The stratified epithelium is composed of many layers of cells that are stacked together. In this way, this epithelium has the function of <u>protecting against physical and chemical damage.</u>

Why do you think weather scientists use percentages instead of saying “it will definitely rain today”?
grigory [225]

Answer:

Right now, I am in college for climatology, but before I decided on climatology, I was taking classes in Meteorology, the study of weather. So, I will answer your question. All meteorologists like to be right, but since the weather is so spontaneous, it is really hard to be right. Meteorologists use percentages because it helps them be professional. Also, because, different parts of the region where they are may or may not get the rain. I don't know where you are from, but I will use my hometown. In McAlester, Oklahoma, there may be a 70% chance of rain, but in another part of the region at Tulsa, Oklahoma ( which is 91 miles north of McAlester) there may be a 40% chance of rain. The difference in the percentages can vary from how stable the environment is, altitude, location, and terrain. That is two of the reasons why Meteorologists use percentages to predict weather.
