Nails are made of iron because, iron is strong and sturdy; although nail rust when it undergoes oxidation when expose to water but it is not explosive. 
Barium and phosphorus are not suitable for nail making because of their properties.
Barium is an element which reacts with virtually all non metals, forming poisonous products which are dangerous to health and to the environment. It also reacts explosively with water.
Phosphorus is not found in its pure form in nature, it conducts electricity and it is combustible in nature.<span />

Answer:

Genetic mapping for unequivocal identification of the potentially causative mutation  

Explanation:

Galactosemia is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the Galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (GALT) gene, which encodes an enzyme involved in the metabolism of galactose. Gene mapping is a technique widely used in genetics to identify the position of one locus a chromosome by using molecular markers to estimate genetic distances. Genetic mapping provides useful evidence in order to identify when a disease that is transmitted from parent to offspring can be associated with one or more genes and then determine which gene/s is/are responsible for this condition.

Which of the following consist of prokaryotic cells?
Ad libitum [116K]

The correct answer is D. Bacteria and archaea

Explanation:

In biology, cells can be mainly classified into prokaryotic and eukaryotic. The prokaryotic cells are cells with no nucleus or centrioles but they do have a cell wall, usually one chromosome and complex cilia and flagella. On the other hand, prokaryotic cells have a defined nucleus, multiple chromosomes, and centrioles and some have a cell wall. Due to the differences between these two type of cells they are part of different organisms, in the case of eukaryotic cells, these are part of the complex organism that includes animals, plants, and fungi while prokaryotic cells are those found in bacteria and archaea which are organisms with only one cell. Considering this, the ones that consist of prokaryotic cells are bacteria and archaea.
