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.
This invention was a commercial failure. Edison resolved that in the future he would only invent things that he was certain the public would want. ... This gave Edison the money he needed to set up his first small laboratory and manufacturing facility in Newark, New Jersey in 1871.

Lancelet is a chordate but not a vertebrate because it lacks a backbone
Explanation:
The subphyla of the phylum Chordata are - Vertebrata, Urochordata and cephalochordate
Those chordates with a structural backbone belong to Vertebrata.
Urochordates and cephalochordates lack a backbone and hence are termed invertebrate chordates.
Lancelet is an invertebrate chordate of the subphylum – Cephalochordata.
The lancelets consist of a notochord that extends right from the head till the tail at the dorsal surface. The notochord acts like the backbone and provides support and a semi-flexible structure to aid in the movement of the organism.
They lack a developed nervous system like vertebrates but only has a dorsal nerve tube
.
As photosynthesis is a process that requires sunlight, the rate of this process will be 0 in a room without any light.
However, even if the dark room has very little light, it may still not be enough for photosynthesis to occur. This process requires certain levels of sunlight.
The Miller-Urey experiment showed that simple molecules could have arisen abiotically. This chemical experiment included conditions similar to those present on the early Earth, and tested the origin of life under those conditions.
Water (H2O), methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen (H2) were the chemicals used to produce the results of the experiment, the factors needed for simple life to arise. Given similar conditions on other planets, it's possible that life could arise there as well.
