Answer:

Option-A

Explanation:

Penicillin is an antibiotic drug that is derived from the fungal species of Penicillium molds especially the<em> Penicillium notatum</em>.  The penicillin acts by disrupting the formation of the cell wall and thus prevents the growth of the bacteria.

The discovery of penicillin was accidental when he was studying the petridish of staphylococcus and he found that due to avoidance while the experiment, molds grew in the petridish.  The area around the mold was clear and clear rings without the bacteria were easily observed. This lead to the discovery of the penicillin compound.

Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.

A cell under a microscope shows Two daughter cells were formed and they are haploid. Which stage of meiosis is the cell showing?
Nadya [2.5K]

The answer is <span>Meiosis I.</span>



<span>Meiosis is a cell division which results in the reduction of chromosome number by half - from diploid to haploid - in daughter cells. It consists of meiosis I and meiosis II. Meiosis I produces two haploid cells. Meiosis II is analogous to mitosis, so each of these two haploid cells will in meiosis II produce two haploid cells. In total, meiosis results in four haploid cells.</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>Therefore, the production of two haploid daughter cells is in meiosis I.</span>

Muscles in animals are often found in pairs, because
babunello [35]
I'm not sure how exactly you wanted this question to be answered. You're either talking about the symmetry where animals would have two legs or two arms for example and thus producing a pair of each muscle on both sides of the body, or you're refering to the development of agonistic and antaonistic muscles where each of them served a different purpose; either extending or contracting.
