Explanation / Answer

High resistances Microorganisms (MO) are principally prions, proteinaceous particles and bacterial endospores,

Moderate resistance MO examples are protozoan cysts, fungal sexual spores and naked viruses

Meanwhile low resistance MO are organisms such as bacterial and vegetative cells, fungal spores and hyphae, enveloped viruses and protozoan trophozoites.

Thus, the correct answer is B

Red Biotechnology

                Biotechnological uses related to medicine including regenerative therapies, drugs, vaccines, molecular diagnostics techniques, and antibiotics as some examples.

Nucleoplasm

                Protoplasm inside the nucleus; Gel-like matrix in which the nuclear components are suspended.

Transcripton

                Procces within the cellular nucleus in which DNA is read by the RNAase to synthethize mRNA in order to generate new proteins from a gene.

Hyphae

                Long filamentous branches of fungi and actinobacteria. Conform this organism’s growth form.

Endospore        

                Branch of environmental bacterial life cycle in which is formed a dormant or resting form to survive under adverse conditions.

Transposons

                Genetic sequences that can “jump” to a different DNA location

Green biotechnology

                Includes all biotechnology applications to agriculture including new plant variants, biofertilizers, cloning and in vitro cultivation, and etcetera.

Antiseptic

                Substance used to inhibit growth of intectious microorganisms or to destroy them that are applied to living tissue.

Transcription factors

                Heterodimetric proteins that bind to DAN sequences and regulates gene expression and could be mechanistic, structural or functional.

Spore

                Reproductive cell with the capability of develop into a complete organism without the requirement of fusion with another reproductive cell contrary to gametes.

Anticodon

                Nucleotide sequences in tRNA that are complementary to codons and allow tRNA to place the correct aminoacid in the peptide sequence.

Codon

                Unit of genetic code made out of three nucleotides in which the nitrogenous base composition and order codifies a spefic aminoacid.

Lysogeny

                Process in which bacteriophage viruses infects certain number of bacteria integrating it’s genetic material into the bacteria’s chromosome and remain dormant until a specific stimuli such as UV light.

Fimbriae

                Plural denomination to Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria appendages which function as adhesins recognize specific macromolecules such as glycoproteins and glycolipids.

Transduction

                The process transference of virus genetic material it from an infected bacterium by to another.

Gene

                Specific region of DNA that contains promoter sequences, introns, exons, a TATA box and contain the information to be translated into one or more proteins. It works as the functional unit of heredity.
