The answer is pilus. This structure joins two bacteria of same species and allow exchange of genetic material in a process called horizontal gene transfer (conjugation). The plasmid of one of the bacteria (the mobile plasmid) is nicked once and the strand moves through the pillus to the other bacteria. It combines with the other plasmid or chromosome to for recombinant dna.
The correct answer is option A, that is, saturated.
The mentioned lipid is not a phospholipid, as it does not comprise a phosphate group at the terminal of the chain, and is not a triglyceride due to the absence of glycerol moiety.
Each carbon combined with the hydrogens forms the maximum number of possible C-H bonds, thus, there are no multiple bonds between the carbons. Hence, it can be concluded that the lipid is saturated.
Gynecomastia is an increase in the size of the mammary gland in men. The condition can occur in one or both breasts. It starts as a small mass under the nipple, which can be sensitive. One breast can be bigger than the other. Its cause is an imbalance between the stimulatory effects of estrogen (female sex hormones) and the inhibitory effects of androgens (male sex hormones) in the breast tissue, when the first ones increase, or the second ones descend.
Gynecomastia is a problem relatively common in the population, and there are three prevalence peaks throughout life:
Newborns: Between 60 and 90% of newborns have gynecomastia, produced by the passage of maternal estrogens through the placenta. It is a transient gynecomastia that disappears in about 2-3 weeks.
Puberty: Gynecomastia in puberty affects mainly young people aged between 10 and 14 years, and is due to the transient and physiological increase in estrogen that occurs at this age.
Elderly: Is due to an increase in fatty tissue with a greater peripheral aromatization ( a process that occurs in adipose tissue and that involves the conversion of androgens into estrogens), a decrease in the production of testosterone by the testes and the use of drugs.
Answer:
Add nutrients to the soil
Explanation:
Plants are destroyed over a wide area, during an eruption. The good thing is that volcanic soil is very rich, so once everything cools off, plants can make a big comeback!
Hope it helped!!!
Answer:
See the answer below
Explanation:
<em>Amphibians are not totally adapted to live on land because the aquatic environment is needed for several life processes such as </em><em>reproduction</em><em>, </em><em>respiration</em><em>, and sometimes, </em><em>feeding</em><em>.</em>
<u>The eggs of amphibians are without any protective shells and will suffer desiccation in the terrestrial environment. Hence, water is needed in order to protect the eggs. In addition, the male am</u>phibians shed their sperm in the water close to the female eggs.
<u>The young ones of amphibians are essentially aquatic and may not survive out of water for a long time because they only breathe gills</u> - the lung is yet to develop or poorly developed at this stage. They have to grow and develop to a certain stage in water before they can start surviving on land.
