Explanation:

The DNA could be dried -through the process of lyophilization- or stored, as a precipitate of ethanol, in liquid nitrogen (temperatures below -80 degrees Celsius). The aim is to reduce water in the stored samples as much as possible because the water can be involved in natural hydrolytic reactions (depurination, depyrimidination, deamination, and hydrolytic cleavage) that could degrade the nucleic acids of the DNA.

If the DNA is stored while being used regularly it is not advisable to store it as a precipitate of ethanol. It should be stored in aqueous form but in a slightly alkaline pH of about 8.5 to prevent acid-catalysed degradation processes.

Which are come of the advantages of body segmentation?
Len [333]

Answer:

b. Segments can become specialized on a particular function

Explanation:

Segmentation conditions virtually every aspect of the structure and functioning of animals with a consecutive body. Generally speaking, we can say that the main advantage of segmentation is that each segment can become specialized in a specific function.

One of its advantages is related to locomotion and comes, on the one hand, from the fact that the volume of celiac fluid remains constant in each compartment, acting as an antagonistic force against which muscles can act and, on the other, from the possibility of independently control each segment . This allows the peristaltic movement (circular muscle contraction wave followed by longitudinal muscle contraction) to be localized and involve only those muscles that are strictly necessary, making the movement's energy needs considerably more profitable.

The compartmentalization of the body led to the repetition of structures, namely excretory, nervous and circulatory in each segment. This can be seen as another advantage of segmentation as it may lessen the impact of damage to the animal's body; Undamaged segments can maintain their normal functions and thus increase the likelihood that the animal will overcome the damage sustained.

Another advantage is that segmentation allows modification of certain portions of the body to perform specialized functions such as feeding, locomotion and reproduction.

In aquatic ecosystems, phytoplankton and other photosynthetic organisms appear in the upper layer of the water, but not deeper l
Stels [109]

Answer: alternative A

Explanation: The deeper the layer in water, the <u>less light reaches it</u>. In deeper layers, therefore, it becomes difficult, if not impossible, to photosynthesis to occur. Having in mind that <u>phytoplankton  and photosynthetic organisms depend on photosynthesis to survive,</u> they won't appear in such dephts.

Other than shape, what characteristics are used to identify the various bacterial species?
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

One major characteristic used to identify bacterial species is by Gram staining. This makes bacteria to be classified into two broad classes; Gram positive bacteria (appear purple after stain) and Gram negative bacteria (appear pink after stain).

Another characteristic used is the presence or absence of capsule.

Other characteristics include there motility (which can be due to the presence of flagella), bonding tendency (which can be individually or in pairs) and also pathogenic bacteria can be classified as intracellular or extracellular bacteria.
