Fungi are important decomposers in terrestrial ecosystems. Some fungi are able to break down lignin in plants, through the production of an enzyme called lignin peroxidase, something that no other organism can do. The ability to break down lignin by some fungi is reflected by which of the statements?
A. Expression of genes necessary to break down lignin were lost in lineages that are not in the evolutionary history of fungi.
B. A mutation occurred in a gene found in some fungi, and the enzyme produced is able to break down lignin.
C. Many organisms have the end to producentymes for breaking down lignin but do not express those genes

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option B. "A mutation occurred in a gene found in some fungi, and the enzyme produced is able to break down lignin".

Explanation:

The unique trait of expressing lignin peroxidase that some fungi have in order to break down lignin must have being the result of natural selection. Natural selection works under the premise of "survival of the fittest", where a spontaneous mutation gives an advantageous trait to an individual that makes it more likely to survive and reproduce. In this case breaking down lignin gives some fungi the advantage of being able to feed from wood.

Answer:

a cell wall, a large central vacuole

Explanation:

Most organelles are common to both animal and plant cells. However, plant cells also have features that animal cells do not have: a cell wall, a large central vacuole, and plastids such as chloroplasts.

I disagree with vacuole, there are vacuoles in animal cells. It would be cell wall and chloroplasts. The cell wall provides the cell with more structure and stability, and the chloroplasts help the process of photosynthesis and give the leaves their green colour. Hope this helps!

Which part of the chemical equation is incorrect?

Answers

Answer: Thus the coefficient of oxygen is incorrect.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The given chemical equation for combustion of butane is

[tex]2C_4H_{10}+10O_2\rightarrow 8CO_2+10H_2O[/tex]

The balanced chemical equation for combustion of butane is :

Thus the coefficient of oxygen is incorrect.

Puerto Rico, Cuba, Jamaica, and Hispaniola have species of anole lizards with distinct body types, including the grass lizards, which have long tails; the canopy lizards, which have large toe pads; and the twig lizards, which have short legs. Anole species with each of these three body types exist on each of the:_________

Answers

Answer:

four islands.

Explanation:

Anole lizards includes different types of lizards such as the canopy lizards, the grass lizards and the twig lizards and are found in Puerto Rico, Cuba, Jamaica, and Hispaniola.

Anole species with each of these three body types exist on each of the four islands because of interisland migration  events.

The anole species share common ancestor with each other in comparison to other lizard species, interisland migration  events allowed anole species  to get evolved by natural selection process in different islands including Puerto Rico, Cuba, Jamaica, and Hispaniola.

Hence, the correct answer is four islands.

consider a molecule of the polymer, polyethylene, and a protein molecule as if they were strings of beads. How would the string representing polyethylene differ from that representing a protein

Answers

Answer:

When a  macromolecule contains repeated similar sub units of a particular molecule:such a repeated units are called polymers.

Therefore, polyethylene is a micromolecule of repeated subunits  called ethylene formed during polymerization..Therefore, the small units joined together to form polyethylene are ethylene.These are alkene hydrocarbons,which are similar in structure with the carbon  atoms  linked by double bonds.When the Pi bonds of the double bonds breaks. hydrogen atoms forms free covalents bonds in all these sub units.

However, polypeptides is made of of 20 different amino acids, connected by peptides, disulfide and other bonds.Therefore the protein molecules will be different from the polyethylene and polymers. This is because each of the 20 amino acids has different R-groups, and It is this  R-groups that determine the functional characteristics displayed by each amino acid sub- units.Therefore, the characteristics of a protein molecule will be determine by the type of Amino acids it contains.

Thus the beads of polyethylene will be the same, but different in proteins

Do Now: b) Complete the following mRNA Strand: GCATACAGT (Be sure to look if it is asking for DNA or mRNA. DNA is GCAT and mRNA is GCAU. All answers must be in capitals when writing out bases, or the will be considered wrong.)

Answers

Answer:

CGUAUGUCA

Explanation:

Firstly, the strand in the question is a DNA strand because it contains the Thymine base, which is only found in a DNA molecule. The process of changing a DNA molecule into RNA molecule (specifically a messenger RNA) is called transcription. Transcription is done using the complementary base pairing rule, which states that Adenine (A) will always pair with Thymine (T), and Guanine (G) will always pair with Cytosine (C).

In the case of transcription, the Thymine bases will change to Uracil (U), since Uracil is only found in the RNA molecule. That is, A-U and G-C. Hence, a DNA strand that reads: GCATACAGT will produce a mRNA strand CGUAUGUCA.

During replication, the strands of a double stranded DNA separate when the bonds are broken between their paired bases.

Explain why, in terms of the genetic code, it is important that the molecule separated between the bases and not at some other point. (Remember the bases are letters that spell out specific traits for the organisms).

Answers

Answer:

During the process of replication, the double stranded DNA separates when several enzymes act to break the bond between base pairs in two strands.

There are four base pairs in DNA that includes thymine, cytosine, guanine and adenine. these bases determines DNA's instructions, or genetic code.  The four bases are allowed to encode the sequence of amino acid residues in proteins by making a pair of three codons that carry genetic codes and helps on the process of transcription and translation.

For example: if the DNA sequence is having bases ATGCCGG, its complementary base pair will be UACGGCC, lets make pair of three codons UAC that codes for amino acid Tyrine and GGC codes for glycine.

Bases are components of nucleotide and  nucleotide are the basic building blocks of DNA and RNA.

If DNA will separate from any other point then it will not able to carry the genetic code. hence, DNA separates between the bases only.

It is important that the molecule is separated between the bases and not at some other point because nucleotide order is fundamental to obtain two genetically identical DNA molecules.

What is DNA?

DNA is a self-replicating molecule that is fundamental for life by assuring of the perpetuity of the genetic material.

During DNA replication, different enzymes act to produce two genetically identical DNA molecules.

For this purpose, enzymes must copy with absolute fidelity the order of the nucleotide sequence in the DNA molecule.

In conclusion, it is important that the molecule is separated between the bases and not at some other point because nucleotide order is fundamental to obtain two genetically identical DNA molecules.
