The correct answer is; "Assembling molecules in either hydroxyl or carboxyl functional groups"

Polymers are formed from monomers either by condensation or by addition of monomers.

A polymer is formed by the joining of one or more monomers. This can happen in either of the following ways;

  • condensation
  • addition

Condensation polymerization involves the loss of a small molecule. When the molecule that is lost is water, we can call it dehydration. Loss of molecules does not occur in addition polymerization.

The two monomer molecules that join to yield the polymer by dehydration must have H and OH moieties in suitable positions for dehydration to occur. A typical example is assembling molecules in either hydroxyl or carboxyl functional groups.

What are the two main ways bacteria cause illness?
oee [108]

Answer:

A. By releasing toxins that poison your cells

B. By using your cells to make copies of themselves

Explanation:

Within the body, bacteria can divide (multiply) and kill host cells by disrupting their normal functioning. Moreover, bacteria secrete toxins that are able to destroy host cells' metabolic machinery.  For instance, many bacteria synthesize exoenzymes and interferons that disrupt and destroy host cells. Bacterial toxins can be synthesized internally in order to develop sensitivity through antigenic properties.

Which of the following are useful traits of cloning vectors?
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option - e. all of the above are useful traits.

Explanation:

A cloning vector is a small segment of DNA that can be established stably in an individual organism and able to internalize a foreign DNA for cloning purposes. The cloning vector could be taken from different organisms such as plasmid of a bacterium, or DNA from a virus. A cloning vector must possess some characteristics -  

The cloning vector must be self-replicating ability in the host cells, it should be small in size with restriction site for the restriction endonuclease enzymes in it. The replication character of the vector should not interfere with the internalized DNA fragment. The presence of marker genes in the vector is also a property that is helpful in identifying of recombinant cells.

Thus, the correct answer is option - e. all of the above are useful traits.
