When the Bicoid protein is expressed in Drosophila, divisions between cells in the embryo are not yet fully developed. This helps to explain that (B) Bicoid protein diffuses throughout the embryo in a concentration gradient.

Bicoid protein acts as a morphogen. This means it shows its effect when the concentration gradient is high. Also abbreviated as Bcd, the protein helps in establishing the anterior and posterior region of the Drosophila. It also represses the translation of caudal mRNA.

Embryo is the initial stage of a microorganism, right after the fertilization. In vertebrates, this stage does not last much longer because the development of organs begins.

Deciding between recycling of conventional plastics and developing biodegradable plastics is a complex issue because:___________
Julli [10]

Answer:

  • <u>Conventional plastics-</u>

"Plastics are typically organic polymers of high molecular mass, but they often contain other substances."

  • <u>Composition</u>-

"Oil-based polymers is currently used in packaging applications. These are virtually all non-biodegradable, and some are difficult to recycle or reuse due to being complex composites having varying levels of contamination.

  • <u>Biodegradable plastics</u>-

"They are largely manufactured from renewable natural resources, to produce biodegradable materials with similar functionality to that of oil-based polymers."

Explanation:

<u>Complex Issue-</u>

  • Diversity of biodegradable materials and their varying properties makes it difficult to make simple, generic assessments such as biodegradable products are all ‘good’ or petrochemical-based products are all ‘bad’.
  • Biodegradable packaging materials are most suitable for single-use disposable applications where the post-consumer waste can be locally composted.

How do axial filaments differ from regular bacterial flagella?
Elena L [17]

Answer: D

Explanation: the axial filament is madeup of hundreds of fimbrils. It is an organ of locomotion in organisms. It is located between the cell membrane and the outer membrane thereby giving the organism the ability to make a twisting motion. Example of organism that possess axial filaments is the spirochetes
