Researchers noted that about half of all species of bacteria contain small segments of DNA of about 20–50 base pairs derived from plasmids or viruses. The phrase clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) describes the organization of these viral DNA segments in the bacterial genome. Bacteria use CRISPR to:
a. transcribe RNA that combines with a protein that has an RNA-cleaving function.
b. copy part of the bacterial genome and incorporate it into a viral genome.
c. "remember" the first time it was infected with a virus.
d. transcribe RNA that combines with a protein that has a DNA-cleaving function.
e. identify viral DNA by complementary base pairing with RNA.
f. identify viral DNA by complementary base pairing with template DNA.

Recent research by marine biologists suggests that bottlenose dolphins have names for themselves. scientists played sounds they had identified as the names of particular dolphins, putting them through a synthesizer so that they did not sound like the voices of particular dolphins. the researchers found that dolphins would respond to the names of other dolphins that they were related to or associated with, but they ignored the names of strangers. this discovery suggests a much greater degree of self-awareness in aquatic mammals than was previously suspected. if this research holds up, what does it suggest about dolphins?
