Mannitol salt agar (MSA) only allows the growth of halophiles (salt-loving microbes). Among the halophiles, mannitol fermenters

release acid that turns the pH indicator yellow; mannitol nonfermenters leave the medium red. Onto MSA you inoculate a halophilic mannitol nonfermenter and a nonhalophilic mannitol nonfermenter. Here the medium acts as a __________ medium.
A. selective
B. differential
C. selective and differential
D. enrichment

Answer:

B. differential

Explanation:

The culture medium is a chemical preparation that has the necessary nutrients for microorganisms of a given biological sample to multiply, allowing its study, identification and analysis. The main components of a culture medium are sources of carbon, energy (sugars), nitrogen, phosphorus and minerals.

There are several types of culture medium, among them we can mention the differential culture medium, which is the type of medium that is being used in the experiment shown in the question above. The differential culture medium allows the distinction between various genera and species of similar microorganisms. This distinction is possible because this type of culture medium has substances that allow for a presumptive differentiation, evidenced by the color change or the morphology of the colonies.

The early ancestors of horses showed the presence of digits on their limbs, while modern horses have hooves. What are likely pos
klio [65]

The correct answers are evolution, genetic mutation and selection.

The early ancestors of horses showed the pressence of digits and now the modern horses have hooves in their limbs. There could be many reasons for the pressence of hooves horses.

These could be due to the genetic mutations, which could have changed the shape of the digits in the limb. Sudden change in DNA can cause mutation and this mutation can change the phenotype of the horse.

There are chances that evolution took place over a period of time that changed the character in the horse.

Natural selection can also be one of the reason for the change in the phenotype of the digits on the limb of the horses.

What would be the consequence to an organism if they are missing the following DNA repair mechanisms:
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

a. DNA polymerase proofreading:   consequence of its absence is the DNA mutation

b.  Mismatch repair enzymes : consequence of its absence impedes homologous recombination resulting in the final mutation

c. Nucleotide excision repair enzymes : the absence of nucleotide cleavage repair enzymes would impede the functioning of damaged DNA repair mechanisms

Explanation:

a. DNA polymerases are the enzymes that form the DNA in cells. During DNA replication (copying), most DNA polymerases can "check their work" with each base they add. This process is called review. If the polymerase detects that you have added a wrong nucleotide (incorrectly paired), remove it and replace it immediately, before continuing with DNA synthesis

b. In homologous recombination, the information from the homologous chromosome that matches that of the damaged one (or from a sister chromatid if the DNA has been copied) is used to repair the fragmentation. In this process the two homologous chromosomes are approached and the undamaged region of the homologue or the chromatide is used as a template to replace the damaged region of the broken chromosome. Homologous recombination is "cleaner" than the union of non-homologous ends and does not usually cause 11 mutations

c. Excision repair: damage to one or a few DNA bases is usually fixed by removing (excising) and replacing the damaged region. In repair by base cleavage, only the damaged base is removed. In nucleotide excision repair, as in the mating repair we saw earlier, a nucleotide section is removed

xeze [42]
The word "cycle" in cell cycle refers to the regular pattern of growth, DNA duplication, and cell division that occurs in eukaryotic cells.
The cell cycle is the term that describes the development and growth of a cell, after its formation and until its reproduction (division into two daughter cells). In eukaryotic cells (cells that include a nucleus) the cell cycle is comprised of two major phases, the interphase and the mitosis. During interphase, the cell grows larger and duplicates its genetic material. During mitosis, the cell divides its genetic material and cytoplasm, creating two daughter cells.

Dentify the relationships between the zooxanthellae and the hard coral, the remora and the manta ray, the tiger shark and the gr
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

1. Mutualism

2. Mutualism (it was previously thought to be a case of commensalism)

3. Predation

4. Competition

Explanation:

<u>1. Zooxanthellae and hard coral - </u><em><u>Mutualism</u></em>

These two organisms live in symbiosis. This means that both benefit each other. Zooxanthellae allow corals to gain energy through photosynthesis and, in turn, they receive important nutrients that are produced during the metabolism of the hard coral.

<u>2. Remora and manta ray - </u><em><u>Mutualism</u></em>

Remoras and manta rays benefit each other. Remoras attach to manta rays mainly for transportation and feeding, but they also do it for protection. In turn, they make sure manta rays are clear from harmful bacteria and parasites. Several years ago, it was thought that manta rays didn't gain any benefit from remoras, so this was thought to be a case of commensalism. However, research has shown that they both benefit from each other. Therefore, this is also a case of mutualism.

<u>3. Tiger shark and green sea turtle - </u><em><u>Predation</u></em>

In some areas (not everywhere) tiger sharks feed upon green sea turtles. For example, in Hawaii, have been observed to attack green sea turtles and feed on them. Researchers have spotted numerous sea turtles with characteristic tiger shark bites.

<u>4. Dolphins and school of trevallies - </u><em><u>Competition</u></em>

Trevallies are large species of fish that feed on small schools of fish like dolphins. They both have their own predatory strategies that involve planning and gathering to catch large amounts of fish. Therefore, trevallies and dolphins compete for small schools of fish.
