Every insect pollinator is adapted to deliver the pollen from anther of the male flower to the stigma of the female flower.  

<h3><u> Explanation:</u></h3>

This adaptation is very essential in pollination of flowers. If new pollinators are used then the pollen will be delivered to the stigma of a different species which may lead to only cross pollination.

If this niche marketing of the flower to specific pollinators is not present then fruits of the same species will not form. Each plant species has a selective pollinators based on the floral scent.

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

In vitro fertilization (IVF)

Explanation:

In vitro fertilization is conducted when infertility is perceived in sexual partners trying to have a baby. It is the process whereby matured ova/eggs are removed from the female's reproductive system and is fertilized externally in a laboratory (usually in a glassware) using a male's sperm cell. It can be thought of as a procedure where the normal fertilization process that occurs in a female's reproductive tract (fallopian tube) is carried out outside the body, specifically in a laboratory.

In order for this procedure to be employed, the male and female must be able to produce their respective gametes. The female's ovary is usually stimulated by fertility drugs in order to yield numerous eggs, which are then extracted from her ovary and fertilized by a sperm externally (in a laboratory). The resulting fertilized egg called embryo is placed back into the female's womb to carry it as a normal pregnancy.

You need to determine if a pure culture of bacteria is gram-positive or gram-negative, but you've just spilled your only solutio
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Gram positive bacteria will be lysed whereas gram negative bacteria will be unaffected.

Explanation:

  • Lysozyme treatment degrades bacterial cell wall. It destroys the peptidoglycan cell wall by hydrolyzing the glycosidic bond between NAM and NAG sugar residues present in the cell wall.
  • Gram positive bacteria has a thick peptidoglycan cell wall with only a thin outer layer of techoic acid. So when exposed to lysozyme, the peptidoglycan layer disintegrates and forms debris.
  • Gram negative bacteria has a thin peptidoglycan cell wall and a tough outer membrane. The outer membrane does not allow the lysozyme to come in contact with the cell wall keeping it intact.
  • Hence, Gram positive bacteria will be lysed whereas gram negative bacteria will be unaffected by lysozyme treatment.
