Culture independent techniques is simply the use of methods in microbiology that are not based on or relies on cultivation inorder to study a microorganism in a defined ecosystem.

Independent based techniques offer a variety of advantages over the culture dependent methods.

The primary advantage of using culture independent techniques in microbiology is that culture independent techniques has the ability to identify or point out a large proportion of the microbial diversity readily and that identification on a normal state will be difficult to be observed using culture based studies or culture independent techniques.

MaRussiya [10]

Rock A = It is a metamorphic rock that  experienced tremendous heat  and  pressure due to massive,  moving tectonic plates.

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have been somewhat squished and transformed by heat and pressure. These rocks often have different layers as the rocks go through pressure and are literally look like rocks that have been piled up and then stuck together. The best indicator of this rock being a metamorphic rock is the wavy elongated stripes. The stripes are created from the different rock elements being pressed together over time.

Rock B = It is a sedimentary rock made  primarily from lithification of  organic material.

Sedimentary rocks are rocks that have been formed by different substances that come together due to the different weather conditions. The best indicator of this being a sedimentary rock is how the rock came together and looks like a bunch of shells were glued together.

Rock C = It is an igneous rock that  was formed above  Earth’s surface.

Most igneous rocks have smooth outer layers. These rocks are often made with solidified magma from volcanoes. The best indicator of this being an igneous rock is the indication of it being a solidified piece of magma.

Which sequence correctly depicts the development of offspring?
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The correct answer would be zygote...blastocyst...embryo...fetus.

The fertilization of sperm and egg results in the formation of zygote. It receives genetic material from a male as well as a female parent.

It divides with the help of mitotic divisions and results in the formation of 2, 4, 8, and 16 celled stages.  

It results in the formation of the hollow spherical ball of cells termed as a blastocyst.  The cells are distributed to form the outer layer termed trophoblast and inner cell mass which gives rise to the embryo.

Trophoblast help in the implantation of the blastocyst into the uterine wall.

The cells of the embryo undergo organogenesis during different organs such as heart, brain, lungs et cetera are formed.

In humans, almost 9 weeks after the fertilization the developing embryo is considered a fetus.  

The fetus development continues until birth.

lawyer [7]

Answer:

The correct answer would be 30 million years.

The molecular clock is a technique used to determine the time when the two species diverged from a common ancestor. It uses the mutation rate to determine the same.

Mutation rate is the rate at which a number of mutations take place in a given unit time.

For example, the mutation rate in a given question is one mutation per 10 million years, that is, one nucleotide is mutated in 10 million years.

If we compare the DNA sequence of the given two species, we would find that three mutations have taken place.

Species A: CTTAAGCTAGTAAGGACC  

Species B: CATAAGTTAGTAAGGTCC  

Thus, 30 million years would have passed to evolve three mutations.

Hence, they must have shared a common ancestor around 30 million years ago.
