The most important factors that affect the weathering are climate, time, mineral composition, exposure and particle size. Climate is measured in temperature and moisture. When we peak of time it deals with million of years often used as units. Physical and chemical properties are determined by mineral composition. Rocks that is exposed to the atmosphere tends to weather much quicker. Particular size of material can affect the weather.

Two types of autotrophs are present and they are Photoautotrophs and Chemoautotrophs. The Photoautotrophs rely on the energy produced during the process of photosynthesis and the Chemoautotrophs get their energy from most of the inorganic substances. Phtoautotrophs actually get their energy from the sunlight and then convert it into reusable form. In case of Chemoautotrophs ammonia is an important source of energy for them.</span>

Which of the following was the major contribution made by Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty that strengthened the argument that the tr
galben [10]

The major contribution made by Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty was 'transformation of nonvirulent cells with a DNA extract was blocked only if DNase was added'. This observation supported the idea that the transforming agent in Griffith's experiment was DNA.

The Avery–MacLeod–McCarty experiment showed that DNA was the transforming agent observed in Griffith's experiment.

Griffith's experiment (1928) suggested that bacteria were capable of transferring genetic information (DNA) by a process of horizontal gene transfer called transformation.

While the bacteria were killed by heat, Frederick Griffith observed that the DNA had was taken up by II-R strain bacteria via transformation.

Avery–MacLeod–McCarty experiment observed that protease enzymes did not destroy the transforming agent (but DNAse destroyed this transforming principle), thereby suggesting that the transforming agent in Griffith's experiment was bacterial DNA.

This part is used to bring the specimen into sharp focus. This part causes a very small up and down motion when used.
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Fine focus.

Explanation:

If you're referencing a microscope, then it would be fine focus. Coarse focus is a basic focus used to properly see a specimen, while fine focus enhance clarity and precision. To use both, you have to gently twist a knob until you can see the specimen at a desired clarity.

Here's a reference image if you need it, it's labeled all the parts of a microscope.
