Answer:
soil; rice
Explanation:
Bacillus cereus is naturally found in the soil. B. cereus is known to contaminate rice, which, if undercooked and ingested, can lead to gastroenteritis. In this example, the reservoir for B. cereus is the soil, and the source of infection is the rice.
A reservoir refers to the breeding ground or natural habitat of micro living organisms such as bacterias, fungi, worms, etc. Thus, a reservoir hosts or harbours pathogens and usually serves as a source of infection to other living organisms.
On the other hand, a source of infection refers to a contaminated material from which a disease can be acquired by another living organism.
MRNA: AUG AAU UUA GCG ACA
polypeptides: Met or start, Aan, Leu, Ala, Thr
1. The type of mutation that occurred in this strand of DNA is deletion. This may have happened because a small part of the DNA sequence was lost when broken ends were rejoined when the DNA was being repaired.
2. It is not likely that these mutated genes could produce a working protein because the polypeptides were completely changed, which would cause the protein to not work properly.
3. When a seed first absorbs water, it begins to grow. The mutation could cause the plant to be unable to absorb water. Therefore, the plant would be unable to germinate.
They are the only cells with chloroplast
