A bacterium that is transformed: Select one:

Biology
1 answer:
MArishka [77]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

d. has acquired naked DNA from the environment

Explanation:

<em>Bacterial transformation is a process whereby a living bacterium takes up pieces of DNA from the environment and the foreign DNA becomes incorporated into the genome of the bacterium thereby 'transforming' it genetically. </em>

A transformed bacterium does not necessarily die within 48 hours, all other factors being considered.

Transformation does not hinder a bacterium from forming conjugation pilus.

Transformation does not always make a bacterium to be lethal to mouse. It depends on the gene present in the foreign DNA.

The correct option is d.

What term describes the condition of a desert mouse that lowers its metabolic rate and “sleeps” during the hot day?
Pavlova-9 [17]

The correct answer is C. Estivation

Explanation:

In biology, estivation refers to a lethargic state that is mainly prompted by high temperatures, different from hibernation that occurs in the winter or at low temperatures. However, as hibernation estivation implies the organism of animals lowers the metabolic rate with the purpose of avoiding to die due to the high temperatures and the lack of resources including water. This can occur in both vertebrate and intervertebral animals including small animals. This implies, the mouse  described which is a small animal probably is going through estivation as due to hot temperatures the organism lowers the metabolic rate, which is exactly what occurs in this process.

This is the amount of time it takes for half of a radioactive isotope to decay
andrey2020 [161]

A radioactive isotope decays at a constant rate proportional to the number of radioactive atoms remaining. A simple way of describing the speed of decay is to see the time it takes for half of the atoms of a radioactive parent to decay and form the daughter element(s). This is called the half life.

Hope this helps
