Prokaryote UsesClicker QuestionsWhy is Lyme’s Disease becoming more prevalent in the U.S?a. Warmer weatherb. Increase in deer populationc. More cases recognized or reported d. Less people using DEETe. More deer ticks- predator is decliningWhat is the evidence for endosymbiosis as the origin of the mitochondria and chloroplast?a. Both have circular DNA like prokaryotesb. Both divide by binary fission inside the eukaryotic cellc. Ribosomes of these organelles resemble those of prokaryotesd. Both organelles transcribe and translate their own proteinse. All of the aboveBioterrorism Bacteria can often be used as biological warfare or bioterrorism- Can be sent in power to be inhaled(ex. anthrax)- 103 nations in the UN pledged not to use biological warfareProkaryotes UsesProkaryotes can be used to clean up waste because they have a very diverse metabolism- Ex. Oil spillsBiology 102o Scientists genetically modify the bacteria with a suicide gene so once they serve their purpose of cleaning up the oil they basically just
