What conditions do thermophiles live in?
The term thermophile means heat loving. It is applied to certain types of bacteria that live in the hot water of a volcanic spring (such as the famous Old Faithful of Yellowstone Park).
What is the term for moving fragments of DNA from one organism to another?
The term is transgenesis.The product is recombinant DNA, and the resulting organism is transgenic, e.g. a transgenic mouse. But the word "transgenic" is not applied to bacteria.Typical methods of creating recombinant DNA include:* using bacterial plasmids, which are modified and then replaced in bacteria * using a virus as a vector (carrier of modified DNA into a host organism) * microinjection using a micropipette There are other techniques.
Why is a larger zone of inhibition better than a small zone of inhibition?
A larger zone of inhibition means that the applied agent has either inhibited or killed the organisms that were spread on the plate and that those organisms are susceptible to that agent. In other words, a larger zone of inhibition means that the applied agent is more effective in killing/inhibiting the bacteria around it.
How has natural selection played a role in the making of multi-drug resistant bacteria?
Bacteria multiply at an unfathomable rate, meaning that large-scale mutations are relatively common. When one puts an anti-biotic in contact with a population of bacteria over a slow enough period of time, eventually, several of the bacteria that are made will have a mutation that makes them immune. Because of the new bacteria being immune to the anti-biotic, they are not killed by it, and can multiply at the normal rate, thus regenerating the lost population with a new one that is totally immune to the drug. The same thing can be applied to all natural selection, honestly. A human's immunity to disease functions the exact same way. When the body is given enough time to learn how to defend itself against a disease, it develops an effective immunity to it.
What are the uses of restriction enzymes in biotechnology?
Restriction enzymes or endonucleases are like cutting enzymes fro DNA These are used to cut nucleotides at particular sites These have imp use in gene cloning,gene mapping,gene sequencing then applied techniques such as southern blotting These are extracted from bacteria's
What is The original figure in a transformation?
It is the figure before any transformation was applied to it.
What is the functinon of software patches?
A patch is a fix for a problem in a computer program. When problems are found patches are applied and updates can later be prepared to resolve the problem completely.A patch is a fix for a problem in a computer program.

What is B Transform and which areas is it applied?
it is a kind of shift-invariant transformation. and the methods are defined by logical operations.
How is genetic drift random?
The process of genetic transformation is the ability to move DNA into an organism and thereby alter its genotype or genetic makeup is central to both basic and applied molecular biology. Genes derived from unrelated species and even other kingdoms, such as bacteria, fungi, plants, animals, that would otherwise be inaccessible to an organism, can be combined in the lab using genetic transformation techniques
What is 12 point bold font?
the 12 point part specifies the size of the text and the bold is the transformation applied to the text.
What is the term applied to a mutually beneficial relationship that certain bacteria possess with their host is called?
symbiotic
Compare pure science from applied science?
science is about discovering new things via the scientific method. For example, discovering new bacteria which may cause a new disease by isolating the bacteria, growing it and sequencing its DNA for example. applied science is using science for other purposes. all doctors and physiotherapists are applied scientists.
Is it possible that no transformation of energy may take place even when a force is applied to a body?
Yes. Forces are constantly applied to objects; for an energy transfer (work) to occur, there must be a force AND movement: work = force times distance.
Explain how natural selection can give rive to a population of antibiotic resistant bacteria?
Consider the following scenario: An antibiotic is applied to a petri dish of bacteria. The antibiotic will kill of most of the bacteria, but some will remain that are immune to the antibiotic. Therefore, only the immune bacteria will reproduce. Soon, the whole petri dish will be full of bacteria that is immune to the antibiotic. Nature "selects" the immune bacteria for survival.
What is the purpose of ophthalmic antibiotics?
Ophthalmic antibiotics are applied to the eye, or under the eyelid, to treat eye infections caused by bacteria.
How gram positive bacilli defer from gram negative bacilli in gram stain?
First gentian violet or crystal violet solutn is applied,they bcome purple now iodine is added and acetone or ethyl alcohol is applied gram -ve bacteria lose their color while gram positive bacteria don't
