D. The measure of how stretched out an ellipse is, is referred to as <u>eccentricity.</u>

<h3>What is eccentricity of ellipse?</h3>

Eccentricity for an ellipse is the ratio of the length of the semimajor axis (a) to the distance (c )between the ellipse's center and each focus.

e = c/a

The greatest ellipse has the smallest eccentricity, whereas the perfect circle has the maximum eccentricity. The eccentricity of an ellipse e, which ranges from 0 (the limiting case of a circle) to 1 (the length of the ellipse), is used to determine how long it is (the limiting case of infinite elongation, no longer an ellipse but a parabola). Because the distance from the fixed point on the plane has a constant ratio that is less than the distance from the fixed line on the plane, the eccentricity of an ellipse ranges from 0 to 1.

Papessa [141]

The right answer is C) vector

In molecular biology and genetic engineering, vectors are DNA molecules that allow the propagation of sequences of interest. These are chimeric DNA molecules such as plasmids or artificial bacterial chromosomes, containing an origin of replication and one or more genetic markers. The origin of replication allows the maintenance of the vector in the target cell during generations.

After performing a gram stain of a mixed culture of gram positive and gram negative cells, you shout: "oops, i forgot the iodine
zalisa [80]

Gram's staining is a differential staining technique that employs a primary stain like crystal violet and a counter stain like safranin along with the decolourizing agent alcohol and a mordant called the Gram's iodine.

Iodine is a mordant added after the primary stain. It fixes the stain by combining with it to enchance the staining ability. This forms an insoluble crystal violet iodine complex appearing purple under the microscope. These microorganisms are classified as Gram positive.

If addition of iodine is skipped, crystal violet is not fixed on the slide and the insoluble complex is not formed. The cells are decolourized by alcohol and are stained by the counter stain safranin making the Gram positive cells wrongly indentified as Gram negative due to its pink colouration. Thus, the slide will show all the cells as pink coloured Gram negative cells.
