Five Hypotheses Explain How Species Richness Affects Community Services, Following statement are given

A) Community services decline with decreased species richness in a stepwise fashion.

B) Species that play the same roles in a community can compensate for each other if some are lost under particular conditions

C) Species richness declines even slightly from its natural levels, community services are reduced immediately

D) Community services change as the number of species increases or decreases, but that the direction of change is not predictable.

You are studying a new strain of E. coli that can utilize the disaccharide melibiose very efficiently. You find that utilization depends on the enzyme melibiase, which is encoded by the gene Mel1. Mel1 is not expressed unless melibiose is present in the growth medium.

Next, you isolate a third mutant, MelC–, which gives constitutive melibiase expression. The MelC– mutation is closely linked to Mel1 and MelB–. Genetic tests of the MelC– mutation yield the following:

 

As above, classify the MelC– mutation in terms of its basic genetic properties and explain how you arrived at your conclusions.

The molar ratio of sodium acetate to acetic acid in a buffer solution with a pH OF 5.76 is 10:1. Assuming the total buffer concentration is 2.2 X 10^-2 mol/L, how many grams of sodium acetate (m.w. 82) and how many grams of acetic acid (m.w. 60) should be used in preparing a litre of the solution?
