How does a bacteriophage work.

Biology
1 answer:
Marina86 [1]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A bacteriophage attaches itself to a susceptible bacterium and infects the host cell. Following infection, the bacteriophage hijacks the bacterium's cellular machinery to prevent it from producing bacterial components and instead forces the cell to produce viral components.

The Monterey pine and the Bishop's pine inhabit some of the same areas of central California. The Monterey pine releases pollen
Naddik [55]

Answer:

The Monterey pine and the Bishop's pine inhabit some of the same areas of central California. The Monterey pine releases pollen in February, while the Bishop's pine does so in April. This is an example of <u>temporal</u> isolation.

Explanation:

Temporal isolation is a form of reproductive isolation in which two or more species reproduce at two separate times.

<u>For example:</u> Northern america leapord frog mates in April and North America Bullfrog mates in july.

As in the given scenario, reproductive isolation is occuring in which two species (Monterey pine and Bishop's pine) are reproducing (producing pollens) at two separate times(February and April). Hence it is an example of temporal isolation.

There are two species of freshwater shrimp that are introduced to a pond. The first species, Caridina cantonensis, is brightly c
Marina86 [1]

Explanation:

Natural selection is the mechanism that is responsible for the evolution of organisms.  

In the given case, the Freshwater shrimp has been introduced to a pond in which the two species with variations are introduced.  

The <em>C. cantonensis </em>is brighter in color whereas the <em>C. multidentata</em> is mottled drab in color. The predator fish can feed easily on the species which is brighter therefore <em>C. cantonensis</em> is more susceptible. The mottled drab species is not easily predated by the species.  

The 30 % offsprings of <em>C. cantonensis</em> can survive till the reproductive age  whereas 75% of C. multidentata. This shows that natural selection has acted on the color of the shrimp species selected against the predator fish species.

The species with mottled drab color is the result of the differential reproductive rate.
