Answer:
Distinct mechanisms are used by bacteria in order to transfer the gene from one bacteria to another. These are transformation, transduction, and conjugation. Transformation refers to the process of uptaking extracellular DNA by the recipient of the other bacterial cell.
In the process of transduction, the donor DNA gets packed within the bacteriophage and infects the recipient bacteria. In the process of conjugation, the genetic substance is transferred by the donor bacteria to the recipient via the process of mating.
a. Of all these three mechanisms, transformation is the process that exhibits a broad range and can be easily performed in the lab. As in the process, there is a slight chance of rejection or failure due to direct compatibility between the bacteria.
b. While the narrowest broad range is found in the process of conjugation, as in order to transfer the genetic substance between the two bacterial species, there should be a similarity between the two species so that they can mate and exchange the genetic substance in between them.
Carlos is conducting a controlled experiment. A controlled experiment is a scientific test where only one variable is changed and there is a group of subjects (named the control group) that is not receiving the factor that is being tested. The group of subjects receiving a treatment or the factor which is being tested is called the experimental group. The variable which is different between the control and the experimental group is the independent variable. The dependent variable depends on the independent variable and represents the response that we observe as an outcome of our experiment.
Answer: B) The membrane is permeable to the solvent and dialysate, but not to the protein.
Explanation:
The answer is A. Putting the aquarium in the dark means that
the aquatic plants will not be able to photosynthesize. The process of photosynthesis produces oxygen
as a by-product. The oxygen is used by the fishes in respiration and release
carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is used by the aquatic plants in photosynthesis.
