Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The diversity of microbes is very vast and diverse. Identification of new microbes is still studied and various researches have conducted the identification of new strains or species. Various physical and chemical tests are performed to determine the metabolic functions which are specific to species of microbes.

Answer to Problem 1Q

Correct answer:

The identities of various microbes are still unknown on the planet Earth. Therefore, option (d) is correct.

Option (d) is given as “are still mostly unknown”.

Explanation of Solution

Justify reasons for the correct statement:

All the microorganisms present on the planet are not known. There are many species present on the planet Earth which have not been discovered to date. The planet is very diverse and various species and strains of microbes are present in it.

Hence, option (d) is correct.

Justify reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option (a) is given as “are mostly known”.

No, all the species on the planet have not been identified. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (b) is given as “have nearly all been identified via microscopy”.

Microscopy is the technique used for the identification of microorganisms. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (c) is given as “have nearly all been identified via culturing techniques”.

Culturing is used to grow microorganisms and not for identification. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options (a), (b), and (c) are incorrect.

Conclusion

Microbiologists claim that many microorganisms present on the planet have not been identified yet. There are so many species of microbes which are unidentified.

In a population of Jackalopes (pictured below), horn length will vary between 0.5 and 2 feet, with the mean length somewhere around 1.05 feet. You pick Jackalopes that have horn lengths around 1.75 feet to breed as this appears to be the optimal length for battling other Jackalopes for food. After a round of breeding, you measure the offsprings' mean horn length is 1.67. What is the heritability of horns length (h2)? Is Jackalope horn length a heritable trait?

There are many differences between DNA replication happening during mitosis in a Douglas fir tree growing in the Oregon Cascade Mountains and DNA replication happening during a PCR reaction in a forestry research lab at Oregon State University where the laboratory is amplifying a Simple Sequence Repeat. Complete the following table that compares the two DNA replication events in terms of the primers, the nucleotides, the polymerase, and the target sequence. Additionally, give a general value for the number of copies of the template DNA after one S phase in one cell and after the lab has completed the PCR reaction. Tree SSR Type your answer here: Primers Nucleotides Polymerase Target sequence Number of copies
