Achange in a sequence of dna bases in a bacterial cell has resulted in a mutation. this mutation has increased the ability of the bacteria to break down and digest organic molecules in the environment. bacteria with this mutation are better able to find and utilize food sources. according to the theory of natural selection, what is most likely to occur in future generations of this bacteria?
a)the relative frequency of the mutation will increase as time passes.
b)because the mutation has changed the dna of the bacteria, a new species will be formed.
c)because the mutation is abnormal, the mutation will become more rare with every passing generation.
d)bacteria with the mutation will increase in number until the food supply is exhausted, causing the bacteria to become extinct.

Keeping in mind the life cycle of bacteriophages, consider the following problem: during the reproductive cycle of a temperate bacteriophage, the viral dna inserts into the bacterial chromosome where the resultant prophage behaves much like a trojan horse. it can remain quiescent, or it can become lytic and initiate a burst of progeny viruses. several operons maintain the prophage state by interacting with a repressor that keeps the lytic cycle in check. insults (ultraviolet light, for example) to the bacterial cell lead to a partial breakdown of the repressor, which in turn causes the production of enzymes involved in the lytic cycle. as stated in this simple form, would you consider this system of regulation to be operating under positive or negative control?

Be in this im starting a with you so if you want you can get a partner for this. but basically im going to assign you guys a biome and you have to have a big sheet paper and you will turn it into 4 squares. the top right square is will be a drawing square for a drawing you will make of your biome. the top left square is about the biomes plants and drawings of them. the bottom left square is about the biomes animals. the bottem rights square is about the description of the biome. leave a comment or an answer and i will assign biomes. if your request one thats the one you get. send me a link to the project and i will grade ! im not a teacher btw.
