Question
Chapter 2.12, Problem 1MQ
Summary Introduction
Archaeal and bacterial cells varies in size ranging from 0.2 µm to >700 µm in diameter. Cell wall and cytoplasmic membrane are considered as the most vital structures of a cell. The wide range of cell wall structures, including wall made up of proteins, glycoproteins, polysaccharides is seen in Archaea.

- Paraphrase and add more information "This study will concentrate solely on the molecular characterization of seaweed samples collected on Panglao island inSouth-Central Luzon, Philippines. Molecular data will be limited to DNA sequences, with identification relying heavily on Genbank returns via blastN. The researchers would obtain their samples from the generated database and analyze the DNA barcode of each macroalgae. The researchers would also compare the previous list of discovered seaweeds from Panglao island to generate a new and updated version for this study. The research would no text end outside or to the neighboring islands around Panglao, Bohol. Neither would the researchers add or include specimens that did not appear in the database or originate from Panglao island. The data to be considered would also not discuss or include the entire taxonomic key of each available sample."arrow_forwardWhat is pseudoknot?arrow_forwardWhich of the following sequences correctly lists in order the steps involved in the incorporation of a proteinaceous molecule within a cell? protein synthesis of the protein on the ribosome; modification in the Golgi apparatus; packaging in the endoplasmic reticulum; tagging in the vesicle synthesis of the protein on the lysosome; tagging in the Golgi; packaging in the vesicle; distribution in the endoplasmic reticulum synthesis of the protein on the ribosome; modification in the endoplasmic reticulum; tagging in the Golgi; distribution via the vesicle synthesis of the protein on the lysosome; packaging in the vesicle; distribution via the Golgi; tagging in the endoplasmic reticulumarrow_forward

- Question -Esther is completing her PhD project in bacterial distribution in mangroves and theirbiochemical characteristics. She manages to isolate and identify around 80 differentbacterial species from the various mangrove sites. She preserves the isolates by growingthem on a tryptic soy agar supplemented with sea salt and re-streaks them every week. After8 months she notices that some of the isolates have changed their genetic sequence whencompared to the initially identified sequence. Using a diagram explain what could havehappened to the isolates when she re-streaked them repeatedly and recommend a solutionto prevent this from occurring in the future and give explanation why it is moreadvantageous.arrow_forwardm-RNA analysis How How to protect the messenger RNA from lysis by proteases?arrow_forwardHello, i understand the question, but i only need to know which option is right, no need for explanation. thanks in advance.arrow_forward
