List the various reagents in Gram staining in correct order.

Biology
1 answer:
dedylja [7]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Gram staining procedure is used to differentiate between the gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. various reagents used in the gram staining are crystal-violet, iodine, ethanol, and safranin.

1. First, the primary strain that is crystal violet is used to stain the bacterial cells present present on the slide.

2. Then the iodine solution is added over the bacterial culture and held for 1 minute. Iodine makes a complex with the crystal violet in the cell wall of bacteria.

3. Then acetone is used as a decolorizer that decolorizes the gram-negative bacteria by dissolving its lipopolysaccharide cell wall but do not decolorize gram-positive bacteria because its cell wall is made up of peptidoglycan layer.

4. The last reagent is safranin which is used to stain decolorized gram-negative cells pink. Therefore the correct order of staining is:

         Crystal violet→Iodine→acetone→sefranine

Explain Mendel's law of segregation and how it predicts the 3:1 dominant-to-recessive phenotypic ratio among the F2 generation o
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Mendel is known as the father of genetics. He explained the law of segregation by the monohybrid cross. The monohybrid cross involves the cross of a single trait at a time.

Law of segregation explains that at the time of formation of gametes, the allele pairs get separated from the pairs of trait. The concept of dominance was also explained. The traits that express itself even in the heterozygous condition is known as dominant trait (T). The trait that can not express itself is known as recessive trait (t).

For example:

Parents TT        ×       tt.   (Laws of segregation)

Gamete   T                  t

F1 generation  Tt.

Selfing of F1 generation

Tt       ×        Tt

Offspring :   TT (tall) , Tt (tall) , Tt (tall) , tt (dwarf).

The phenotypic ratio is tall : dwarf (3 : 1)

How will increased temperatures affect water in California?
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Rising temperatures also increase the rate at which plants transpire water into the air to keep cool, so irrigated farmland would need more water.

How is prophase, metaphase and anaphase of mitosis, meiosis I and meiosis II different or the same?
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The two main processes of cell division, meiosis and mitosis, have in common their main steps. In both cases the metaphase ( pairing of homologous chromosomes), anaphase (migration of chromosomes to the ends) and telophase (beginning of DNA decondensation and cell division) are very similar.

The greatest difference occurs in prophase I of the meiosis, which involves the process of recombination (cross over), resulting in variability in the gametes.

Another difference is that meiosis is a reductional process, where the final result of meiosis will be gamens with half of the genetic information, and in mitosis both cells will be equal.
