1 answer:

4 0

Answer 1: Gram staining can stain the outer structure of cell such as cell wall and cell membrane. This stain used to identify the gram positive and gram negative cell in a cluster of bacterial colony. These structure can not be stained by using methylene blue.

Answer 2: Methylene blue stain used to stain the internal structures of the cell including DNA in nucleus and RNA fractions in cytoplasm. These structures can not be stained and identified using gram staining.

Answer 3: A research paper (J. gen. Microbiol. (1963), 30, 223-235) stated that Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a gram positive bacteria.

Answer 4: A research paper (The Chemical Composition and Structure of the Yeast Cell Wall) provided the actual and true composition of yeast cell wall. According to this paper, yeast cell wall is composed of protein ( 13%), lipids (8.5%), and Polymaccharides (78%). While on the other hand cell wall of gram positive bacteria is composed of peptidogylcane (50-60%), lipids (1-4%), teichoic acid and lipoteichoic acid. Further, cell wall of gram negative bacteria composed of lipopolysacharides, lipoproteins, peptidoglycane and lipids (11-12%).

Intrasexual selection

Intrasexual Selection is when members of the same sex within a species contend emulously with each other in order to acquire chances to mate with others such as the male against male competition for females. This type of selection often involves posturing and fighting. Species or individuals suitable for intrasexual selection will possess developed better weapons than their competitors.

kogti [31]

Answer: The father determines the biological sex of a baby

Explanation: Human beings have two sex chromosomes, males have XY chromosomes whereas females have XX chromosomes. During fertilization, an egg from a woman fuses with a sperm cell from a man to form a zygote. Women have two X chromosomes (XX) and any point in time they can only release an egg bearing an X chromosome but males have one X and one Y chromosome, therefore they can either release a sperm cell with an X chromosome or a sperm cell with a Y chromosome. When an egg with X-chromosome fuses with a sperm cell with an X chromosome, the resulting baby is a female but when an egg with an X chromosome fuses with a sperm cell with a Y chromosome, the resulting baby is a male.

What makes the difference in both sexes is the Y chromosome from the man, therefore the father determines the biological sex of a baby.

maksim [4K]

The earth's surface features are constantly changing in a process known as weathering and erosion. Weathering would happen when rocks would break physically like frost shattering while erosion happens when sediments and rocks are moved from one place to another by agents like water, gravity, wind and ice. These two occurrences are the cause of the constant change of the Earth's surface.<span />
