Introduction: Genes are sets of nucleotides that code for a particular protein. The genes have to be expressed for the synthesis of a protein. This gene expression is regulated depending on the requirement of the cell. For example, cell division proteins are synthesized prior to the cell division. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic genes have differential gene expression in order to suit the specific needs of the cell.

- Please answer the following question. The use of DNA sequences resulted in a large number of novel fungi discovered. Explain how this was possible.arrow_forwardWhat process uses a de Bruijn graph? a. genetic sequence assembly b. fluorescence-activated cell sorting c. x-ray crystallography d. metaproteomics e. endomycorrhizae symbiosisarrow_forwardDescribe the Theory of Endosymbiosis. a) Briefly define the Endosymbiotic Theory. 2 pts,b) Explain why the Theory of Endosymbiosis is considered a “theory” and not a “hypothesis.” 3 pts,c) Provide a description of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, including at least 4 similarities and 4 structural differences. 4 pts,d) Describe the sequence of events with anaerobic ancestral proto-eukaryotes and aerobic prokaryotes that led to the formation of mitochondria and chloroplasts inside eukaryotic cells. (Be sure to define aerobic and anaerobic respiration.) 6 pts,e) Explain how each, the anaerobic ancestral proto-eukaryotes and aerobic prokaryotes, benefited from the relationship. 4 pts,f) Describe 7 pieces of evidence for this scientific theory. Some of this evidence will consist of a list of similarities between mitochondria characteristics and bacteria characteristics. Along with this list of similarities, explain HOW the characteristics are similar. 10 pts,g) The Endosymbiotic Theory…arrow_forward
- Make insightful observations:Consider the ff. two observations. Observation 1: Fungi often grow on leftover food. Observation 2: Fungi such as mold and yeast grow more on leftover bread than on leftover meat. Which of the above observations is the most useful for further investigation? Why?arrow_forwardHow does the emergence of endosymbiotic theory change the way humans view microorganisms? Will people be comfortable imagining that the life functions of plants and animals, including their own, are actually dependent on the coexistence of many different microscopic pieces? This question is not answered yetarrow_forwardUsing the provided images, classify these 2 organisms (animal, plant, bacteria, protist)arrow_forward
- All the organism on your campus make up?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is the MOST compelling argument that fungi are more closely related to animals than plants? A. Plants have chloroplasts whereas fungi and animals cells do not. B. Plants fix carbon dioxide from the air; fungi and animals use pre-existing organic molecules. C. The DNA sequences of ribosomal RNA of fungi share more homology with ribosomal RNA from animals than plants. D. Both animal and fungal cells are eukaryotic.arrow_forwardWhich web would this be?arrow_forward
- Which statement best describes why antifungal treatments may have side effects to our own cells? A. Fungal cells and human cells both have cells walls made of cellulose B. Fungal cells and human cells both reproduce by budding C. Fungal cells and human cells both have flagella for movement D. Fungal cells and human cells both have a nucleus, 80s ribosome, and multiple shared organellesarrow_forwardDevelopment of Resistance to antimicrobial drugs: What is the difference between a natural, semisynthetic, and synthetic antibiotic? How was the first natural antibiotic discovered? (To answer this question, identify the antibiotic, distinguish between the fungus and the antibiotic, explain where the antibiotic came from, and explain how people knew the antibiotic had antibiotic properties.) Give an example of a strain of bacteria (Genus and species) that is now resistant to commonly used antibiotics (identify the specific antibiotic). Describe the physiological mechanism used by individual bacteria to resist the antibiotic listed in part “3” of this Thought Question. For example, the mechanism could be modification of drug, modification of target, prevention of drug penetration, overproduction of target, or target mimicry. (This means that you must choose a strain of bacteria that we know the characteristic of the bacteria that allows the bacteria to be resistant.) How do…arrow_forwardA. Reproduction in various animals - fragmentation explain give an example - With spores explain give an example B. Explain production technology in animals with examples Answer question with explaining and analyzed with step from the all sub parts .. thank uarrow_forward
