The Dutch microbiologist van Niel who first demonstrated anoxygenic photosynthesis hypothesized that every molecule in nature can be used as a source of:
carbon or energy by some microorganism.
photosynthesis results in oxygen production.
microbes are found in mesophilic environments on Earth.
microbes cannot live deep within Earth.
photosynthesis occurs deep within Earth.

In a relatively small iguana population the allelic frequency is tracked for three generations. webbing is a recessive allele; no webbing is the dominant allele. during one very rainy spring and summer, a flood washes all the iguana without webbed feet out to sea. by the fall, and three generations later, you have the gene pool seen here.

Neelaredoxin is a 15-kda protein that is a gene product common in anaerobic prokaryotes. it has superoxide-scavenging activity, and it is constitutively expressed. in addition, its expression is not further induced during its exposure to o2 or h2o2 (silva, g., et al. 2001. j. bacteriol. 183: 4413–4420). which of the following statements best describes neelaredoxin synthesis? a-neelaredoxin is produced at all times; levels are constant even when exposed to o2 or h2o2.b-neelaredoxin is produced at all times; exposure to o2 or h2o2 increases expression.c-neelaredoxin is produced at all times; exposure to o2 or h2o2 decreases or prevents expression.d-neelaredoxin is only produced when there is exposure to o2 or h2o2.
