Answer:
Option a, survive in extreme environments
Explanation:
Both Thermus and Deinococcus belong to the group of bacteria that are collectively termed as Deinococcus–Thermus group.
Deinococcus are radiation-resistant vegetative cell as they are able to resist ionising radiation. Also some species of Deinococcus are thermophile.
Thermus are thermophilic bacteria that are able to live in extreme temperature condition and thus are able to tolerate high temperature.
Hence, option A is correct.
Answer:
(1) glycerophospholipids ⟶ (C) lipids with phosphate-containing head groups
(2) cerebrosides ⟶ (D) fatty acid linked through an amide bond to the sphingosine C(2)-amine
(3) gangliosides ⟶ (B) anionic sphingolipids containing one or more sialic acid residues
(4) sphingolipids ⟶ (A) built on sphingosine
Explanation:
1) Choline (Fig. 1) is a glycerophospholipid. It is a glycerol-based lipid with a phosphate-containing head group.
(2) Galactosylceramide (Fig. 2) is a cerebroside. It contains a fatty acid linked through an amide bond to the sphingosine C(2)-amine
(3) Gangliosides are glycosphingolipids that contain sialic acid. GQ1b (Fig. 3) is one of the most abundant gangliosides in the human brain. The carboxyl group of the sialic acid is in the ionic form.
(4) Sphingomyelin (Fig. 4) is a sphingolipid. It is based on sphingosine, with a phosphocholine head and a fatty acid chain.
TT and Tt are possible genotypes of a tall pea plant as the resulting phenotype of both possible genotypes result in a tall pea plant.
Answer: A, C, and E are correct
Explanation:
Sympatric speciation is a random or naturally occurring event whereby organisms of the same species:
- live in the same territory or nearby territories ( i.e no single specie occupy
an area in isolation)
- DO NOT interbreed, but select a sexual mate from a much diverse territory and practice non-random mating, which favors some genes results in an uneven gene flow or disruption of alleles previously common among the population.
- produce offspring with extra sets of chromosomes known as polyploidy, leading to show genetic variations
Finally, M. graminicola and S passerinii are Sympatric species based on the already given explanation.
