1. Several live specimens of a new species of giant shipworm, Kuphus 3 polythalamia, have been recently discovered in the Philippines. You got your hands on a small piece of tissue, lysed it, and performed a digestion 600 bp with micrococcal nuclease. The gel to the right represents a very short 450 bp digestion (lane 1), a little longer digestion (lane 2), and a longer yet digestion (lane 3) of the DNĂ. What can you conclude from these results? 300 bp a. Around 120 nucleotides wrap around the nucleosome of the shipworm b. There is an approximately 30 base pairs long linker region between 150 bp nucleosomes c. Micrococcal nuclease recognizes a 4-base-sequence d. Shipworm's chromosomes are about 120 nucleotides long 120 bp e. a and b are both true

The pathogenic strain of the bacterium E. coli (0157:H7) has been shown to be responsible for lethal outbreaks of food poisoning. Bacteria on contaminated food enters the stomach and travels to the large intestine where it causes severe diarrhea. If it enters the bloodstream it causes hemolytic uremic syndrome which results in severe anemia, kidney failure, and in some cases death. The stomach is an extremely acidic environment and to survive the bacteria have a series of enzymes that they produce to protect themselves. This acid stress response is mediated primarily through the gad operon. What is an operon? O a. A series of genes controlled by the same operator O b. A series of genes on the same MRNA molecule O C. A series of genes that all have the same function O d. A series of genes all regulated by the same repressor
1. In what type of environments can a microorganism be found? a. Which environment has many microorganisms and which has few? b. As revealed by different colony types, would there be a different species of bacteria/microorganism that can be found in any given environment? 2. In terms of the areas of the human body, how does this discrepancy in area differ in type and number of the bacteria present? a. Are the areas the same or are they different per individuals? Why? 3. How can a single environmental factor such as temperature and light source affect the number and type of colonies that can be found in the culture?

2. You observe a bacillus under the transmission electron microscope. You estimate its dimensions to be 4.5 nm x 1.5 nm x 1.5 nm (length x width x height). i) Idealize the three-dimensional structure of the bacillus using spheres and a 3D rectangle. Draw your idealization. ii) Calculate the volume of the bacteria according to your idealization (Volume of a sphere = (4/3) Ttr3).
