One hypothesis that has been proposed to explain the development of viruses suggests that viruses were beneficial because they allowed for rapid gene transfer, especially in prokaryotic cells, and therefore increased genetic diversity. Temperate viruses could have increased horizontal gene transfer between prokaryotic cells and potentially increased their fitness. With respect to this hypothesis, why would it matter whether the bacteriophages were temperate or virulent? View Available Hint(s)

Bacteriophages may be defined as the viruses that has the ability to affect the bacterial cell. The bacteriophages are used to study the specific behavior of the bacteria as well as viruses.

Two main types of phages are temperature phage and virulent phage. The virulent phage undergoes the lytic cycle and kill their host immediately. The temperate phage can perform both the lytic and lysogenic cycle. The temperate phage can be used to study both the effect of the virus as well as bacteria and most commonly used in the researches.

the transfer of energy between two molecules spaced just nanometers apart plays a key role in many technologies, including photovoltaics, quantum information systems, lighting, and sensors, as well as in biophysics to measure nanometer distances and in photosynthesis. but an open question in this area is what effect, if any, the surrounding photonic environment has on this nanoscale energy transfer. by designing and performing a carefully controlled experiment to answer this question, scientists have settled the debate and found clues to improving the efficiency of many of the technologies that rely on this process.

explanation:

succession returns a disturbed

ecosystem to a more stable state. this is also classified into two (2) types:

primary succession and secondary succession. the primary succession arises when

a new land is transformed and a bare rock has been exposed providing an environment

that can be occupied for the first time. while, secondary succession occurs

when a previously occupied environment was disturbed that kills much of all its

community
