Answer:

45200 nucleotide

Explanation:

Given that

Rate at which polymerase synthesizes DNA = 1130 based per minutes

Time taken for bacteria to replicate their chromosomes = 40 minutes

Therefore

Total number of nucleotide in bacterial chromosome = Time taken for bacterial to replicate their chromosomes × rate at which polymerase synthesizes DNA

= 1130 × 40

= 45200 nucleotides

How might an individual's own cells lead to false verdicts of guilt.
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Through a circumstance known as "secondary transfer DNA", or "Touch DNA".

Explanation:

Most times when a crime is committed, DNA samples are obtained from surfaces in the scene where the crime was committed. There is a very huge possibility of picking up the DNA of someone who was never at the scene of the crime and this is a result of a condition known as Touch DNA.

Because we touch several objects which can be moved to different locations and touch people who are also always mobile, our DNA cells can find their ways to a crime scene where we had never physically been to. This can lead to false verdicts of guilt.

Streptomycin is an effective antibiotic because _____________.
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer: Option C.

Both

Explanation:

Streptomycin is an antibiotics produced from bacteria and fungi and it is used to treat bacteria infections (prokaryotic ) such as tuberculosis, mycobacterium infection e.t.c.

It's inhibit protein function in prokaryotes because it's affects the function and performance of 70 s RIBOSOMES which is an organelles for protein production.

Streptomycin does not affect eukaryotes because it does not bind to the RIBOSOMES of eukaryotic cells which in turn does not affect protein production.

A worker standing on a freshly mopped floor is adjusting products on a metal shelf. There is an exposed wire in contact with the
Semenov [28]

Answer: Workplace electrocusion

Explanation:

The human body is a good conductor of electricity. The workplace electrocution occurs due to electric shock. This leads to workplace injuries that may often lead to disabilities and can also be fetal. The workplace electrocution can also lead to cardiac arrest, and tissue damage due to thermal burns. The severity of injuries may depend upon the intensity of electricity, health of the victim and how the current flows in the body.

According to the given situation, the freshly mopped floor is a source of water and water, as well as metal, which is a good source of electricity. The electric wire is an energized source of electrical energy that will allow the flow of electric current in the body, as well as contact with the floor containing water, which will enhance the effect. Thus this is an example of workplace electrocution.
