The complete question is:

a bacterium is infected with an experimentally constructed bacteriophage composed of the T2 phage protein coat and T4 phage DNA. The new phages produced would have

A) T2 protein and T4 DNA

B) T2 protein and T2 DNA

C) a mixture of DNA and proteins of both phages.

D) T4 protein and T4 DNA

E) T4 protein and T2 DNA

A bacterium infected with an experimentally constructed bacteriophage will give new phages with the virus' DNA and the type of proteins that this DNA encodes.

A bacteriophage is a virus that attaches itself to a bacteria and uses it to replicate itself. Viruses have two main parts, a protein coat and their DNA inside it.

  • The experimentally constructed bacteriophage has one type of protein that makes the coat, the T2. This type of protein will allow the virus to attach and infect the bacteria.
  • Once the virus attaches itself to the bacteria, it will introduce its DNA, T4 type, and use the bacteria elements to replicate it and create new phages.
  • As a result, the new phages will have T4 DNA, and the proteins that the virus synthesizes will be the same type as the DNA.

In conclusion, The new phages produced would have D) T4 protein and T4 DNA.

A machine require 2,000 joules to raise a 20 kilogram block a distance of 6 meters. How efficient is the machine?
Nataly_w [17]
Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height) .

To raise the 20kg block 6 meters, you need to give it

                         (20 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (6 m) = 1,176 joules

of potential energy.

Your machine takes 2,000 joules of energy to give the block
the 1,176 joules that it takes.

Your machine is only  (1176 / 2000) = 58.8% efficient .

The other 'missing' 824 joules of energy doesn't just disappear.
It heats the machine, and the air around it.  The final result is
that when you use that machine to lift blocks, you have to use
even MORE energy, to blow cool air on the machine and prevent
it from overheating and breaking.

Which is a correct observation based on the photo shown below?
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The bird has a narrow beak that is longer than the length of its head.

Explanation:

-The beak is long and thin, which helps it dip into the flowers to sip nectar (a sugary fluid the hummingbird uses for food).

-This bird (Hummingbird) have a long, narrow beak that allows it to reach the nectar from brightly colored, tubular flowers. It also feeds on insects and have a flexible lower beak that allows them to grab insects from the air during flight.

hope that helps :)
