Summary Introduction
Several Archaea and Bacteria possess the ability to travel by swimming. Flagella, small rotating structures, is attached on the surface of the cell in several different locations. Flagella present around the surface of the prokaryotic cell are referred to as peritrichous flagellation. Often in nature, bacterial and archaeal cells encounter components of chemical and physical agents. These bacterial cells evolved ways to respond to such gradients either by moving away or by moving toward the element.

- Q13arrow_forwardStudy guide 14arrow_forwardPTC Tasting: Complete this exercise with a partner. PTC (phenylthiocarbamide) is a bitter-tasting chemical found in some plants. Similar chemicals are found in broccoli and grapefruit. PTC is not found is human food, but if it was, it would be a powerful deterrent to eating that food. PTC tasting is a dominant trait. People who can taste PTC very strongly are called "supertasters". Most people (about 70% of most populations) are "tasters", but about 30% of any random group usually is made up of "non-tasters". For this experiment, let's assume that your genotype for this trait is Tt (heterozygous) We will assume that your partner's genotype is tt (homozygous recessive) Complete the following Punnett Square with your and your partner's genotypes for PTC tasting: Predictions: On you partner F4 t t Application Questions: 1) Two taster parents produce both homozygous taster and non-taster children. What must be the genotype of both parents in order for this to happen? T Accessibility:…arrow_forward
