Answer;

-Gene

A specific stretch of DNA that programs the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide is a gene.

Explanation;

-Genes are a section of DNA that are in charge of different functions like making proteins.Genes are responsible for all aspects of life. Long strands of DNA with lots of genes make up chromosomes. DNA molecules are found in chromosomes.

-Each gene occupies a specific position on a chromosome. Because genes provide instructions for making proteins, and proteins determine the structure and function of each cell in the body, it follows that genes are responsible for all the characteristics you inherit.

The DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the hereditary material present in an organism. The DNA is divided into different segments, which codes for specific traits.

The stretch of the DNA, which codes for a specific sequence of amino acids is known as gene. The gene is the basic functional unit of the hereditary, and codes for a specific protein (not all the genes are involved in protein formation).

Hence, the given blank can be filled with gene.

A student investigates the effect of temperature on gas production in yeast. The student uses this apparatus to count the number
tigry1 [53]

The effect of temperature on gas production in yeast;

As the temperature gets higher, the yeast will produce more carbon dioxide, until at some point carbon dioxide production will decrease, that is when the yeast cells have become denatured due to the increase in tempmoreerature.

<h3>An experiment to show the effect of temperature on gas production in yeast.</h3><h3 />

If temperatures affect the growth of yeast and the amount of carbon dioxide gas produced then when the yeast is placed for instance in 75 degrees, the carbon dioxide levels will be than the carbon dioxide levels at room temperature (69 degrees), and 40 degrees, because heat activates the enzyme molecules to move faster

Yeast at an optimal temperature to produce the same amount of CO2 as yeast below or above it. ... Enzymes involved in yeast cell metabolism start to denature above-optimal temperatures, resulting in a decrease in both metabolic rate and CO2 production.

AleksAgata [21]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which have been provided in the attached file.

Explanation:

1. Dura mater: the dura mater is the most superficial layer which is characterized by the folds. The dura mater forms the walls between the hemisphere of the brain that is between right and left halves of the cerebellum. The structure present in the dura mater is tentorium cerebelli and super sagittal sinus.

2. Pia mater: the deepest layer present which is adhered to the tissues of the brain. The cortical gyri blood vesicle are superficial to the pia mater.

3. Arachnoid mater: the middle layer which is characterised by transparent and gelatin-like appearance.

A microbiologist plated a bacterium on a specific medium. After incubation, she noted that the previously yellow medium was now
alexdok [17]

Answer:

A differential medium

Explanation:

Bacteria require nutrients for growth, and in order to culture (grow) them and study their characteristics, different types of media are used.

A selective media is used to grow a particular group of organism while suppressing another. So a selective media usually has an inhibitory agent, which will inhibit the growth of the undesired group. An antibiotic can be added to a medium to make it selective.

A general purpose medium as the name implies can be used to grow any group of bacteria. It has no inhibitory agent and indicator that differentiates between organisms. An example of general purpose media is nutrient agar .

A non-synthetic media is made from natural ingredients.

A differential media differentiates between groups of organisms. Example of differential media is MacConkey agar and Mannitol Salt agar. On MacConkey agar, lactose fermenting bacteria turn pink while non-lactose fermenting bacteria are colorless.

On Mannitol Salt agar, mannitol fermenting bacteria turn yellow while non-mannitol fermenting bacteria are colorless. Mannitol Salt agar is also a selective medium. It has a high salt concentration which inhibits certain organisms.
