Answer:

The electron microscope

Explanation:

<em>Fimbriae are very tiny appendages of about 3 to 10 nm in diameter found on the surface of most Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacterial cells. They are mostly utilized as a structure to adhere to one another, to other organisms, or any other surfaces.</em>

Fimbriae generally contain adhesins, a virulence factor that facilitates adhesion to surfaces and <u>due to their tiny size, they can only be viewed using the electron microscope</u> - the scanning electron microscope to be precise.

Jill stepped on a tack. Which part of the central nervous system caused her foot to move off the tack quickly in a reflex respon
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer: Spinal cord.

Explanation:

The spinal cord of the central nervous system helps to move off quickly as a part of the reflex response. Jill stepped on a tack and suddenly he realizes that he should quickly move his legs out of the tack.

The pain is not stimulated until the signals reaches from the receptor to the brain. The formation of the reflex arc ensures that the amount of potential tissue damaged is less.

It forces the body to move quickly from the place that is causing damage.Example: Moving the leg up involuntarily when stepped on pin.

This occurs because the sensory neurons connects to the motor neurons within the spinal cord.This leads to the contraction of bones and muscles.

Hence, the correct option is spinal cord.

When DNA replication occurs before meiosis, the original DNA strand CAG CCG TAG is copied into complementary strand GTC ACA GGC
dedylja [7]
<span>The correct answer is B. Insertion. In this particular insertion there is an insert of three bases. Complementary strands in DNA are the opposite strand, so Adenine is coupled to Thymine and Guanine is coupled to Cytosine. So the complementary sequence (also called the antisense strand) of the original would be GTC GGC ATC, there's an extra 3 bases in there: ACA.</span>
