BIO153H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Ammonia, Thiomargarita, Heterotroph
Document Summary
Poland was not affected (literally shut their doors for 2 years) Did not know that small particles/microorganisms caused this. Fish (bacteria causes bioluminescence allowing the fish to hunt in the dark) Chromosome structure is different (one kind of rna polymerase) Can live in extreme environments (temp, acidity, salinity etc. ) => no eukaryote can survive in such regions. True or false: short generation times can increase genetic diversity in. Binary fission =>potential for mutation when duplicate dna. Ecoli in our intestines 1/10mill mutation rate, in a day we have 2^10mill new ecoli. 9mill possible mutations (with a low mutation rate because generation time is high) Phages (virus infect bacteria->inject dna into cell, produce new virus and part genome may be integrated into bacterial genome. One innoculated tube -> use sample to create new sample ->done everyday. With diversity will the new generations do better in the challenging environment than the initial.
