Prostatic acid phosphatase was purified from prostatic fluid. Monospecific antisera to the purified acid phosphatase was then produced in rabbits. When antibody was coupled with acid phosphatase, the enzymatic activity was markedly stabilized against pH and temperature degradation. Both acid phosphatase and rabbit anti acid phosphatase were non specifically coupled to Sepharose-4B using cyanogen bromide. Under these circumstances slight stability occurred when antibody was bound to Sepharose, and then acid phosphatase added to the gel antibody complex. When acid phosphatase was complexed to Sepharose, no stabilization occurred.
Two sister chromatids are held together by the centromere
<h3>The Chromosome</h3>
The chromosome consists of 2 sister chromatids that are linked together by a structure known as the centromere.
Each of the sister chromatids carries an allele of the same gene.
The link between the two sister chromatids is broken at the anaphase stage of the cell division when spindle fibers pull them apart towards opposite poles within the cell.

Answer:
B) Nitrogen-fixing bacteria and lightning
Explanation:
Nitrogen cycle is the natural process in which atmospheric nitrogen is converted into nitrite and nitrate with the help of bacteria.
Nitrogen cycle is directly dependent on nitrogen-fixing bacteria and lightning.
As bacteria are responsible for most of the chemical conversion in the nitrogen cycle such as nitrogen fixation (first step) is done by soil bacteria (Cyanobacteria) that form ammonia, which is toxic to plants; nitrification in which ammonia is converted into nitrites and nitrates with the help of Nitrobacter and denitrification bacteria involve Pseudomonas, and Achromobacter which convert nitrite and nitrate into nitrogen.
The lightning breaks nitrogen molecules and allow it to combine with oxygen in atmosphere which further dissolve in rain and form nitrates.
Hence, the nitrogen cycle is most directly dependent upon nitrogen-fixing bacteria and lightning and the correct option is B.
