Exercise 1 1. The environment that the bacteria were found in was extremely cold, very low in oxygen, high in pressure, and low on nutrients. Yes, it is an extremeophiles because it was able to survive in an extreme condition that would normally be detrimental to most life. 2. I did not see where the article listed the feet. But, 3 Km converts to about 9,842 feet. 3. Its tiny size helped it to survive in the liquid veins among ice crystals and the thin liquid film on their surfaces. Also

the use of DNA in forensic science that is important in biology today is comparing a suspect’s DNA profile to DNA that was discovered at a crime scene. This can be done by DNA fingerprinting or by collection of body fluids, such as saliva, semen, urine, blood, skin and hair, found at the scene. Secondly, DNA testing can rule out possible suspects as well. DNA testing can be used to free individuals

form of bacteria, but are no longer classified as bacteria. They live in extreme environments and are stll sometimes classified under archaebacteria. They are thought to be the oldest form of life found on earth. Halophiles are found in environments with a high salt count. They change their structure in order to survive. Thermoacidophiles like it acidic and hot. Methanogens live in anerobic environments such as swamps where muck abounds. They thrive off of conditions that other bacteria would
