Answer:

While a light microscope uses light to illuminate specimens and glass lenses to magnify images, an electron microscope uses a beam of electrons to illuminate specimens and magnetic lenses to magnify images. The resolution (the level of image detailing) is the main difference between these two microscopes.

A compound light microscope is a microscope with more than one lens and its own light source. In this type of microscope, there are ocular lenses in the binocular eyepieces and objective lenses in a rotating nose piece closer to the specimen.

Answer:

Option B, The compound light microscope can view living things, but the transmission electron cannot.

Explanation:

In a transmission electron microscope(TEM) , a beam of electron is used to illuminate the specimen thereby generating its projection images.  While compound microscope uses light to illuminate the surface of specimen and hence magnify it (make it larger) and  observes its structure (even cells and their structure). Compound microscope has high magnification but low resolution while a TEM has high magnification and  high resolution. TEM requires vaccum environment to operate while this is not the case with compound microscope. TEM can be used to view dead things only while compound microscope is used to observe both dead and live things.

Hence, option B is correct

The energy in most ecosystems comes from
kakasveta [241]

Answer:  B

Explanation:The energy needed by living things comes from the sun. Every ecosystem depends on green plants to trap the energy in sunlight and change it into chemical energy. The process by which green plants convert the sun's energy is called photosynthesis.

What is meant by the genetic code being nearly universal?
Veseljchak [2.6K]

A lot of DNA is structural and doesn't pertain to any genetics while it only takes a small change to change something big. DNA mainly uses 4 different chemicals to change itself, not giving a lot of variety. Most animals share around 98% of the same dna with each other. Humans share 50% of their DNA with a banana. Pretty much everything shares the same double helix design as well. So a lot of genetic code looks similar.

Explain how the random alignment of homologous chromosomes during metaphase I
borishaifa [10]

The randomness in the alignment of recombined chromosomes at the metaphase plate, coupled with the crossing over events between nonsister chromatids, are responsible for much of the genetic variation in the offspring. To clarify this further, remember that the homologous chromosomes of a sexually reproducing organism are originally inherited as two separate sets, one from each parent. Using humans as an example, one set of 23 chromosomes is present in the egg donated by the mother. The father provides the other set of 23 chromosomes in the sperm that fertilizes the egg. Every cell of the multicellular offspring has copies of the original two sets of homologous chromosomes. In prophase I of meiosis, the homologous chromosomes form the tetrads. In metaphase I, these pairs line up at the midway point between the two poles of the cell to form the metaphase plate. Because there is an equal chance that a microtubule fiber will encounter a maternally or paternally inherited chromosome, the arrangement of the tetrads at the metaphase plate is random. Thus, any maternally inherited chromosome may face either pole. Likewise, any paternally inherited chromosome may also face either pole. The orientation of each tetrad is independent of the orientation of the other 22 tetrads.
