Answer: living things such as “human beings”, “animals”, “plants”, and “microorganisms”.. Nonliving things do no exhibit any characteristics

Explanation: Nonliving things do not grow,respire, need energy, move, reproduce, evolve, or maintain homeostasis. They are made up of non living materials

Answer:

well essentially  living things

  • respire/breath
  • reproduce
  • eat
  • and grow

we move, we respond to situations and we feel.

while non-living things

  • don't breathe
  • don't reproduce
  • don't eat or grow
  • and they don't feel or respond

examples of living things are humans, animals, plants and germs

and examples of non-living are plastic, water, buildings etc

Hope this helps (✿◠‿◠)

If meiosis failed to occur in both male and female worms the zygote nucleons would resemble diagram
den301095 [7]

Tetraploidy will occur.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

The process of sexual reproduction is very necessary to maintain the genetic setup of the species over the races.

The normal chromosome content of a cell is called diploid state of cell. Its represented by the expression 2n. The cell division that takes place before the gamete formation is called meiosis. This cell division makes the chromosome number of the cells halved. So haploid cells are produced. Its represented by n.

Now as the gametes fuse, both the n becomes 2n and diploid state is regained.

But if the meiosis don't occur in the gametes, the gametes will remain 2n. So after fertilization, it becomes 4n. This state is called tetraploidy.

An unknown bacterium produces colorless colonies when inoculated onto an EMB plate. Predict what you would see if you inoculated
marshall27 [118]

The EMB (Eosin Methylene Blue) agar is a selective and differential agar medium. It contains sucrose and lactose as fermentable substrates together with Eosin Y and methylene blue dyes which in combination gives the agar its characteristic color when prepared and serves as a pH indicator as well as an inhibitor of growth of Gram-positive bacteria. Hence, it is primarily used to isolate Gram-negative fecal coliforms while some positive fecal coliforms such as Staphylococci are also able to grow.

These coliforms are of two types:

  • Lactose or sucrose fermenting coliforms form metallic sheens on the agar as a result of acid production and the response of the indicator to the increased acidity.
  • Non-lactose/sucrose fermenters are only able to produce acid by protein deamination. Hence they either form colorless or pinkish colonies on the agar

On the other hand, Mannitol salt agar is a selective and differential agar medium that is primarily used to isolate Staphylococcal bacteria. The presence of sodium chloride in the medium makes it a partial or complete inhibitor of other bacteria.

Hence, an unknown bacterium that forms colorless colonies on EMB will either be a non-lactose fermenting, Gram-negative coliform that will hardly grow on Mannitol salt agar, or a Gram-positive fecal Staphylococcus.

Staphylococci bacteria are of two types:

  • Coagulase-positive will form yellow colonies on the Mannitol salt agar.
  • Coagulase-negative will form red colonies on the Mannitol salt agar.

Briefly explain what clues to look for to tell if a cell is in each of the following phases of mitosis:
k0ka [10]

Answer:prophase----the chromosomes shorten and thicken.the nuclear membrane has open up and the nucleolus has disappeared

Metaphase----the chromosomes migrate to the central plane of the cell and attach to the spindle fibres microtubules

Anaphase---the chromatids of each chromosomes part and move towards opposite poles of the spindle as the spindle fibres shorten

Telophase----the chromatids are in the polar end of the spindle .the spindle breaks down,the centrioles replicate,the nuclear membrane is reformed,the chromosomes gradually uncoil.
