In order to develop antibiotics, scientists need to understand how bacteria grow, divide, and spread during an infection. An essential part of bacterial growth is RNA synthesis because RNA must be synthesized
before proteins can be assembled. If RNA synthesis is blocked, bacteria will not be able to survive and
reproduce.
Which of the following questions will best direct an investigation on how an antibiotic that inhibits RNA
synthesis in bacteria can be developed?
Choose 1 answer
Which chemical compounds add a hydroxyl (-OH) group to the growing RNA strand?
Which proteins are used to undergo cell division through binary fission?
Which chemical compounds block the 5' end of the growing RNA strand?
Which chemical compounds block the 3' end of a growing RNA strand?

Sea levels are rising due to climate change while increasing numbers of people are moving into coastal areas. to accommodate more people, there has been increased construction of beachfront resorts and condominiums. how is this impacting sea turtle numbers and biodiversity and why? a. the increased human population in coastal areas has meant that more food is available to the turtles (e. g., dropped food, waste from restaurants), which has led to an increase in the numbers and diversity of sea turtles. b. there has been very little change in the numbers and biodiversity of sea turtles because the planet is so vast that they can simply relocate to less crowded beaches. c. this has resulted in a decrease in numbers and diversity of sea turtles because it is restricting available nesting sites, and hence reproduction. d. this has resulted in an increase in numbers and diversity of sea turtles because people are around to protect them from natural predators.
