Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C.

Explanation:

Hydrolysis is a type of chemical reaction where a water molecule is utilized or consumed to rupture the chemical bonds. In these reactions, water acts as a nucleophile and separate the larger molecules into its components.

In the given question, the process of cellulolysis or the breakdown of cellulose to smaller polysaccharide like cellodextrins or glucose units is a hydrolytic reaction.  This reaction requires an ionic solvent as cellulose molecules bind strongly to each other and cellulolysis Is difficult.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

1. In pea plants, tall (T) is dominant to dwarf (t). Show the cross
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Tt - 2/4 = 1/2 or 50%            Heterozygous TALL

tt - 2/4 = 1/2 or 50%             Homozygous Dwarf

Explanation:

So let's make a Punnett for this so you can see what the outcome is yourself:

Tall is <u>dominant</u> - T

Dwarf is <u>recessive</u> - t

Heterozygous means that they have one of each allele. The genotype of one parent would be then Tt.

***It is heterozygous tall because Tall is a dominant trait so if it is accompanied by the recessive trait dwarf, then the Tall allele would mask it.

The other parent is a dwarf plant. The genotype would then be tt.

*** Now for a recessive trait to appear, it should not have a dominant trait mixed with it, which could mask it. The result then is homozygous recessive or homozygous Dwarf.

So now that we know the genotypes of the parent plants, we can put it into a Punnet:

    t      t

T  Tt   Tt

t   tt    tt

As you can see, out of the 4 outcomes we have:

Tt - 2/4 = 1/2 or 50%            Heterozygous TALL

tt - 2/4 = 1/2 or 50%             Homozygous Dwarf

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Option 1,  Robotic arms used aboard the ISS are now used in delicate surgeries on Earth.

Explanation:

The robotic arm on the international space station is used in conducting surgery. The first space robotic arm was launched in 2001 and its name was “Canadarm 2”. Though the aim of this arm was to construct space station but now a days it is used in imaging the surgical work area and instruments through its camera. The best feature of this hand is that it follows the instruction with high efficiency and precision level.

Hence, option 1 is correct.
