The effect of declining coral population due to highly acidic warm water on the population of fish in the three study areas. Also, give reasons for the occurrence of these changes in the coral population and variations that would occur in these regions. Given: Figure 1 shows the study area of the experiment in the Indo-pacific region with high coral reef species. The three sites are Kimbe Bay in Papua New Guinea (PNG), Moorea Island in French Polynesia, and Lizard Island in the Great Barrier Reef on the east coast of Australia. Figure 1: Experimental sites across the Indo-pacific region. Graph 1 shows the results of the number of fish species found in the coral species region. A relationship was established between the index of sensitivity and the number of coral species. Graph 1: Relationship between the index of sensitivity and number of coral species. Introduction: As a result of increased concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the acidity of air and water is increasing day-by-day. Global warming, which is again contributed by greenhouse gases, has raised the temperature of oceanic water. These events have impacted the coral reefs to a great extent.

The diagram below illustrates a quorum sensing pathway from Staphylococcus aureus. Please answer the following questions. 1. Autoinduction is part of the quorum sensing system. Which promoter (P2 or P3) is critical for autoinduction? 2)This staphylococcus aureus grows on human wounds, causing severe infections. You would like to start a clinical trial to treat these wound infections. Please describe: a) What molecule do you recommend for the trial. Why? b) Your trial requires that Staphylococcus aureus be isolated from the wound and submitted to genome sequencing before admittance. Why? What are you testing for? 3) If a mutation arises where the Promoter P3 is constitutively active, how would that influence sensitivity to AIP? Please explain your rationale. 4) This pathway is sensitive to bacterial cell density. Describe two separate mutation that would render the pathway active independent of cell density. Briefly explain your rationale. Mutation 1 Mutation 2
