Answer:

The correct order is dehydration, embed in wax, cut into sections, staining

Explanation:

There are certain proceedings needed to obtain stained sections of vegetable or animal tissues for their microscope observations.

These steps are:

  • Obtention of the material: The tissue is cut to an adequate size.
  • Fixation: When tissues are extracted from the organism, they suffer autolysis and putrefaction, so they need to be fixated in order to keep their cells in the best state possible. Fixation involves preserving the original morphological and molecular characteristics of the tissue. Fixation avoids autolysis, putrefaction, distortion, and retraction of cells and the tissue that could affect its volume or morphology.  
  • Dehydration. Once fixated, the fixator must be eliminated and the tissue is dehydrated by using a gradual series of solutions with alcohol in ascendant concentrations. Dehydration must be gradual to avoid tissue deformation.
  • Inclusion. To obtain thin cuts that can be observed under the optic microscope, the tissues must be included in a consistent, firm substance, that might be either hydrophilic or hydrophobic. A hydrophobic medium is paraffin wax, that provides hardness and plasticity.  
  • Cut. The tissue included in wax must be cut in slides or sections thin enough to allow the diffusion and penetration of light. A microtome is used to perform these cuts. When using paraffine for tissue inclusion, the cuts are about  5 to 20 micrometers of thickness.
  • Stain. Once the cuts are performed, paraffin wax must be eliminated. This can be done by using an organic solvent. Then the tissue must be stained. Hematoxylin and Eosin are the most common dyes. Animal tissues in general do not have any natural color, so they need to be stained to be observed.

Define ovipary, ovovivipary, and vivipary. Which vertebrates use each type of reproductive strategy?
Irina-Kira [14]
Oviparity is a mode of reproduction in which young, developed in fertilized eggs, laid outside the mother's body. This mode of reproduction is found in most reptiles and all birds.
Viviparity means that their young develop inside the mother's body and are born alive. This is the mode of most mammals.
<span>Ovoviviparity is similar to viviparity in that there is internal fertilization and the young ones are born alive but differ in that there is no placental connection, the young are fed by egg yolk. This is found i</span><span>n </span><span>seahorses, for example.</span>

Billy thinks evolution is slow and continuous. He believes in
timurjin [86]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Gradualism.

Explanation:

Gradualism is the theory that new species evolved from existing species through progressive, frequently subtle changes as opposed to through unexpected, significant changes. The little changes are accepted to bring about distinguishable changes over long periods of time.

Gradualism is a model that explains the process of evolution that alludes to the minuscule varieties in a life form or in the society that occur after some time to improve a fit for creatures and people in their condition. These varieties permit them to endure and flourish, bringing about the moderate and predictable procedure of progress in the entire populace.

Thus, the correct answer is - Gradualism.
