Thiobacillus denitrificans is a species of bacteria that obtains its energy from carbon dioxide and inorganic compounds such as

nitrogen in its environment. It is used in bioremediation (natural cleansing) of groundwater that contains excess nitrate, allowing the nitrates to be removed. How does Thiobacillus denitrificans help bioremediate groundwater?

Answer:

The correct answer would be - nitrficiation, denitrification, nitrogen fixation, and decomposition.

Explanation:

Thiobacillus denitrification is a facultative, obligate chemolithoautotrophic anaerobic bacterium that is well known for its ability to couple the oxidation of inorganic sulfur-based compounds to denitrification.

The name of the bacterium is derived from its function or the metabolic ability as it performs denitrification on thio (sulfur) based inorganic compounds by the process of oxidation. This process helps in bioremediate groundwater by these processes of nitrogen fixation by oxidation of inorganic compounds of sulfur.

Thus, the correct answer is - nitrification, denitrification, nitrogen fixation, and decomposition.

kaheart [24]

Answer:

<u>Nutrition and health benefits</u> are the most likely motivation ,if a person decides to switch from drinking freshly squeezed orange juice to calcium-enriched orange juice after a yearly checkup,

Explanation:

As the Calcium enriched orange juice contains calcium almost equal to that of milk , hence it is an essential mineral which helps in building and maintaining strong bones and teeths.

It is also an excellent source of vitamin D helping the body to absorb more calcium . Thus providing excellent nutrition and health benefits.

Hence <u>Nutrition and health benefits</u> are the most likely motivation

In 1986, a nuclear power accident in Chernobyl, USSR (now Ukraine), led to high radiation levels for miles surrounding the plant
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Radiation leads to mutations that causes genetic drift and decrease fitness.

Explanation:

Radiation is responsible for changing or altering the DNA sequence within a cell.

Radiation either causes mutation or it leads to cell death.

Most of the ionizing radiation causes mutation within the  deep inside of our cells which eventually leads genetic drift which means change in the frequency of the allele in a population over time.

Beneficial mutation confer advantage to the organism. But in this case, the mutation is not beneficial and decreases the fitness of the rodent organisms.

Researchers believe that in a fish species, individuals with the recessive genotype aa are predisposed to disease. Homozygous do
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The homozygous dominant phenotype is higher than expected, indicating that evolution has occurred.

Explanation:

At the start there are 200 fishes in the pond, 100 of them are AA(50%) and 100 of them are aa(50%). Using the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium equation we can say that the gene frequency is

A=0.5

a=0.5

With those frequency, the expected percentage of offspring with dominant genotype will be:

AA= 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.25 = 25%

The number of homozygous dominant found is 35% which is higher than expected  (25%). Higher homozygous dominant frequency than expected means the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium is changed. In this case, evolution probably the cause that shifts the gene frequency.
