Which of the following best explains how higher concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus contribute to eutrophication?

Biology

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

It seems that you forgot to include the options for the question.

Nevertheless, one of the best explanations for how higher concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus contribute to eutrophication is the fact that after light, both nutrients represent the most important limiting factor for algal growth. <u>The overabundance of these two nutrients leads to the stimulation of the growth of various algal species present in the ecosystem, eventually causing what is referred to as algal bloom. </u>

Apart from constituting a nuisance to waterways, the bloom of algae causes a host of problems to the environment which include the blockage of sunlight from getting to water bodies, the release of toxins into water by algal species, hypoxia of water bodies, and eventual death of aquatic species.

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

C) are sequence-specific DNA endonucleases

B) degrade foreign DNA that enters a bacterium.

Explanation:

Restriction enzymes are the proteins that cut the DNA at a specific sequence.

<u>Restriction enzymes are also known as restriction endonuclease produced by bacteria that recognizes a specific sequence on DNA and split it by catalyzing the hydrolysis or addition of water molecule. </u>So, Restriction enzymes are sequence-specific DNA endonucleases.

The biological role of restriction enzymes is to restrict the entry of foreign DNA into the bacterium. <u>Restriction enzymes have the ability to restrict the number of bacteriophage strains that affect bacteria.</u>

Hence, the correct options are "C and B"

How did the stop codon mutation in Lucy's ADA gene stop her ADA protein from working?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

By stopping the translation process, leading to a non-functional protein.

Explanation:

The genes of organisms are the protein-coding regions of the genetic material (DNA). They are expressed in a two step process to produce functional products e.g proteins that bring about certain phenotypes in the organisms. The two stages involved in gene expression are viz: transcription and translation.

During transcription, the gene (DNA) is transcribed into RNA molecule which is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODON during translation. Translation synthesizes an amino acid from each codon. A STOP CODON i.e. UUC, UUG and UUA signals the end of the translation process and brings it to an halt.

Hence, if a mutation i.e. a change in the nucleotide sequence, causes a stop codon to be produced during the expression of Lucy's ADA gene, the stop codon will signal the end of the translation process. Because the ADA protein was truncated, it will be non-functional i.e. not work in Lucy's body.

What are the differences between internal receptors and cell-surface receptors?
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Internal receptor: Internal receptors present on the cytoplasm, and also known as cytoplasmic or intracellular receptor. These Internal receptors respond to hydrophobic ligand molecules which can travel across the plasma membrane. These receptors can influence (directly) the gene expression means how much a specific protein is produced from a gene without having to pass the signal on the other receptor.

Cell-surface receptor: cell-surface receptor is present on the cell membrane is known as trans-membrane receptors. This trans-membrane receptor binds to external ligand molecules which cannot travel across the cell membrane. They are also called cell-specific proteins because they are specific to individual cell type. The cell-surface receptor has 3 main components:

1) External ligand-binding domain.

2) Hydrophobic membrane-spanning region.

3) Intracellular domain.
