Answer: C) Not all scientific knowledge begins with an experiment

Explanation:

Fleming's lab was very messy, and one day when he is back from his vacations, he noticed that a colony of a fungus had grown as a contaminant on one of the Petri dishes sown with a bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus. Fleming observed a bacterial lysis, which means the death of the bacteria.

The dishes got contaminated by Penicillium, which is a mold that produces a an antibacterial substance, called penicillin. This is an antibiotic that attacks a wide range of bacteria.

At first, his findings were underestimated and he was not able to isolate this penicillin. But in 1940, Howard Florey and Ernst Chain found out that this antibiotic could be used as a therapeutic agent to fight bacteria.

So, in this case the discovery of penicillin was accidental, without planning a specific experiment.

Which of the following accurately pairs the phase of the cell cycle with its primary purpose? A. S phase–DNA replication B. G2 p

GenaCL600 [577]

The correct answer is option A, S Phase - DNA Replication

The DNA replication begin at the S phase of the cell cycle. In this phase, the cell grows and prepare itself for the DNA replication while the other components such as centro some undergo replication. The S phase occurs during the inter phase and the genetic material duplicates itself before entering the mitosis and meiosis cell division in the next stage.
