if a bacterial cell is capable of taking up foreign dna, it is said to be what?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

competent

Explanation:

The uptake of foreign DNA from the environment  is known as transformation

Answer 2

If a bacterial cell is capable of taking up foreign DNA, it is said to be competent.

What is competent?

Transformation is the process by which bacteria can absorb foreign DNA. In DNA cloning, transformation is a crucial step. After restriction digest and ligation, it takes place and transmits freshly created plasmids to bacteria.

Bacteria are chosen on antibiotic plates after transformation. Bacteria are extraordinarily adaptable creatures, with the rare capacity to take in and replicate (or copy) foreign DNA.

They gain an evolutionary advantage from this and are better able to withstand environmental changes. Bacteria, for instance, can acquire DNA that renders them immune to antibiotics.

Therefore, the term is competent for a bacterium that is capable of taking up foreign DNA.

Following the fusion of an egg cell and sperm cell, the resulting diploid cell divides by mitosis to create two new daughter cells. Each daughter cell contains pairs of chromosomes, with one set inherited from each parent.


Which of the following best describes the pairs of chromosomes that are present in each newly formed daughter cell?


Choose 1 answer:


A) The pairs are homologous chromosomes that have the same set of genes, but likely different variations of those genes.


B) The pairs are non-homologous chromosomes that contain different sets of genes.


C) The pairs are homologous chromosomes that have identical copies of every gene.

Answers

Answer: A

i have no idea why

The pairs are homologous chromosomes that have the same set of genes, but likely different variations of those genes. The correct option is A.

What are homologous chromosomes?

Among a pair of chromosomes with the very same gene sequence, loci, chromosomal size, and centromere location is referred to as a homologous chromosome.

One paternal and one maternal chromosome make up a homologous pair. In humans, the nucleus of a somatic cell contains 46 chromosomes.

Homologous chromosomes differ from sister chromatids because they are not identical and do not emanates from the same organism.

Sister chromatids are identical, side-by-side duplicates of each other that form as a result of DNA replication.

Homologous chromosomes do not pair together during mitosis. Homologous chromosomes line up end-to-end in mitosis so that when the cells divide, each daughter cell receives a sister chromatid from both members of the homologous pair.

Thus, the correct option is A.

Answers

The recessive allele frequency decreased (q = 0.14) and the dominant one increased (p = 0.86). Genotypic frequencies followed this tendency too (q² =0.02, 2pq = 0.24 and p² = 0.74). The Carbonaria phenotype increased to 0.98, while Typica showed a frequency of 0.02.  

------------------------------------------

Available data:

Some moths were released in the forest (N=1000). 250 were white, and 750 were black.

The color is defined by a single diallelic gene. The dominant allele -D- codes for black color (carbonaria), while the recessive allele -d- codes for white (Typica).

These individuals produced five new generations since they were released, G1, G2, G3, G4, G5.

This information is guiding you to know how to calculate frequencies and total numbers. Information about released individuals is an example of how you need to proceed.

Firts, we will assume that this population is under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. So let us review some theoretical framework.

The allelic frequencies in a locus ⇒ p and q dominant and  

                                                                               recessive alleles.

The genotypic frequencies after one generation are (H0m0zyg0us dominant), 2pq (Heterozyg0us), (H0m0zyg0us recessive).

If a populations is in H-W equilibrium, it will get the same allelic frequencies generation after generation.  

The sum of allelic frequencies equals 1 ⇒ p + q = 1.

The sum of genotypic frequencies equals 1 ⇒ p² + 2pq + q² = 1

Now let us analyze the problem.

We need to get information on G5 generation. We will do it step by step.

1) Phenotype frequencies

To get the Phenotype frequencies, we just need to divide the number of individuals with each phenotype by the total number of individuals in this generation. So,

Total number of individuals in G5  →  1435 White = Typica = 29 individuals Black = Carbonaria = 1406 individuals

F(Typica) = 29 / 1435 = 0.02  

F(Carbonaria) = 1406 / 1435 = 0.979 ≅ 0.98    

2) Allelic Frequencies

We can use the phenotypic frequencies to get the allelic frequencies.

Remember that carbonaria (black) moths include h0m0zyg0us dominant (DD) and heter0zyg0us (Dd) individuals. So we can not get the allelic frequencies from this data.

We can only use the allelic frequency of Typica (White) individuals. Typica phenotypic frequency only includes h0m0zyg0us recessive individuals, dd.

We know that,

H0m0zyg0us recessive genotype  →  dd

Genotypic frequency →  F(dd) → Represented as q²            

F(Typica) = F(dd) = = 0.02

Recessive allele → d

Recessive allelic frequency →  f(d) → Represented as q

f(d) = q = ??

q² = 0.02

q = √ 0.02

q = 0.1414 ≅ 0.14

0.14 is the recessive allelic frequency. Now we should calculate the dominant allelic frequency. To do this, we will clear the following formula,

p + q = 1

p + 0.14 = 1

p = 1 - 0.14

p = 0.86

So, now we also know that

f(D) = p = 0.86

f(d) = q = 0.14

3) Genotypic Frequencies

Now, we need to get the genotypic frequencies, F(xx)

⇒ F(DD) = p² = 0.86² = 0.7396 ≅ 0.74

F(Dd) = 2pq = 2 x 0.86 x 0.14 = 0.24

F(dd) = q² = 0.14² = 0.0196 ≅ 0.02    

4) Number of individuals

Finally, we need to tell the number of individuals with each genotype. We just need to multiply each frequency by the total number of individuals in G5.

F(DD) = p² = 0.74

F(Dd) = 2pq = 0.24

F(dd) = q² = 0.02    

Total number of individuals = 1435

⇒ DD Black -Carbonaria- individuals → 0.74 x 1435 = 1,061.9 ≅ 1062

⇒ Dd Black -Carbonaria- individuals → 0.24 x 1435 = 344.4 ≅ 344

⇒ dd White -Typica- individuals → 0.02 x 1435 = 28.7 ≅ 29

From this results, we can conclude that the moths population is not in H-W equilibrium, because their allelic and genotypic frequencies changed through generations.

It seems that Natural selection is favoring the dominant phenotype by increasing the frequency of the dominant allele over the recessive one. Probably directional selection is acting on this population.

4 Spheres Observation (Bio, Geo, Atmo, Hydro) : What did you see that represents each? How did they interact with each other? and pls be specific in ur answer, and pls no links!

Answers

Answer:

The spheres interact to effect Earth’s systems and processes, and they are constantly changing each other.

For example, ocean currents (hydrosphere) affect air temperature (atmosphere): The Gulf Stream is a powerful water current in the Atlantic Ocean. It’s warm water moderates the temperatures on the east coast of the USA.

Another example of how the spheres affect each other is through erosion. Erosion happens in the desert when wind (atmosphere) shapes the sand in the geosphere. Water (hydrosphere) can also shape land, such as in the formation of the Grand Canyon.

Humans have a huge impact on all spheres. Negative impacts, such as burning fossil fuels, pollute the atmosphere. Piling up our waste in landfills affects the geosphere. Pumping waste into the oceans harms the hydrosphere. And overfishing and habitat destruction can reduce the diversity of living things in the biosphere.

However, people everywhere are working to change things. Recycling efforts are increasing all over the world, and companies are finding new ways to reduce fossil fuels. In the US alone, people are recycling six times more than a generation ago.

In the diagram of the human digestive system, what organ is labelled 5?

Answers

Answer:

The large intestine

Explanation:

The large intestine is a long, tube-like organ connected to both the small intestine and the anus. In an anatomy drawing, it looks almost as if it is wrapped around the small intestine.

As we can see in the drawing, the organ labelled with 5 is wrapped around another organ which is smaller and looks longer. This smaller organ is the small intestine. Since we know that the large intestine wraps around the small intestine, we can infer that the organ is the large intestine.
