By process of elimination you can find the right answer. We know for a fact that carbon is found in all living organisms. That is why we talk about carbon based life forms. So the first statement cannot be true. You can figure out how many Valence electrons an element has by looking at the group number. The group number of carbon is 4 so the 2nd statement cannot be true. We know that carbon does bond with other elements because it is not a noble gas and therefore must be able to form compounds.
This means the answer must be they can form up to four covalent bonds

Troyanec [42]

A particular single-celled organism uses radiant energy to fix carbon as sugars. This organism generates ATP by breaking down sugars through a process that uses oxygen. This organism is aerobic autotroph.

Autotrophs produce their own food from the substances available in their surroundings using light through photosynthesis or chemo-synthesis.

No stripe on the head (H) is dominant, a black stripe on the head is recessive. If dad's genotype is Hh, what are the odds that

olga55 [171]

The chance of the offsprings with stripe on head is 50%.

Option A.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Here according to the figures, the male is the brown one which has no stripe on his head as mentioned, and the female is the pink one who has a stripe on her head. The gene for the head stripe is denoted by H.

So the genotype of the father which is given as Hh. He is heterozygous.

The genotype of the mother should be hh as she has stripe and she must be homozygous recessive to have it.

So the gametes from father is H and h. Whereas the gametes from mother is only h.

So the genotype of the offsprings are Hh and hh as 50% each.

So the probability of the offspring being striped head is 50%.

When adult amphibian skin harbors populations of the bacterium, Janthinobacterium lividum (Jl), chytrid infection seems to be in

ira [324]

Answer:

C: Take infected amphibians and assign them to two populations. Leave one population alone; inoculate the other with Jl. Measure the rate at which infection proceeds in both populations.

Explanation:

In scientific investigations, the best way to determine the effect of certain experimental factor on the population of study is to have a baseline for comparison. This is usually referred to as controlled experiment.

<em>In the case of the observation that chytrid infection in amphibians seems to be inhibited by Janthinobacterium lividum, the best way experimental design is to get a population of amphibians suffering from the disease, divide them into two groups and subject them to the same conditions except the introduction of Janthinobacterium lividum to the skin of one of the groups.</em>

<em>A suitable method can thereafter be employed to measure the rate at which infection proceeds in both population. If indeed, the bacterium has the capacity to inhibit the infection, the rate of infection in the group with the bacterium will be significantly less than that of the group without the bacterium. </em>

The correct option is C.
