Answer:

Carl Richard Woese

Explanation:

He was an American microbiologist and biophysicist. His main focus was upon genetic codification.

in 1977, Carl Woese and George E. Fox discovered a kind of microbial life which they called the “archaebacteria”. It composed "a third kingdom" of life different from bacteria, plants and animals. His three-domain system, divided life into 23 main divisions, incorporated within three domains: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eucarya.

Answer:

Carl Woese

Explanation:

Earlier scientists used to divide organisms in two major groups, the prokaryotes which consisted of bacteria and the eukaryotes which consisted of all the other higher organisms. Carl Woese divided organisms in three groups: Bacteria, Archaea and Eukaryotes. He concluded that Archaea are more similar to eukaryotes than to bacteria. Previously Archaea were thought to inhabit only hostile extreme places but now they have also been discovered in other less hostile environment.

Archaea are similar to bacteria when it comes to morphology. But the process of translation and transcription is significantly different from bacteria and resembles eukaryotes more. Their cell membrane have unique ether linked lipids for more stability and they have some unique metabolic pathways like methanogenesis.

❖ Prokaryotic DNA isn't surrounded by a membrane like Eukaryotic DNA is. The DNA in a prokaryotic cell floats around freely.

PLZZZZZZ HELPPP how do we obtain energy from wind PLZ WRITE A PARAGRAPH ABOUT ITTT PLEASEEEEE
sladkih [1.3K]

Explanation:

Wind energy, or wind power, is created using a wind turbine, a device that channels the power of the wind to generate electricity. The wind blows the blades of the turbine, which are attached to a rotor. The rotor then spins a generator to create electricity . Wind energy is a renewable energy source that is clean and has very few environmental challenges. Wind power actually starts with the Sun. In order for the wind to blow, the Sun first heats up a section of land along with the air above it. That hot air rises since a given volume of hot air is lighter than the same volume of cold air. Cooler air then rushes in to fill the void left by that hot air and voila: a gust of wind. The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy describes a wind turbine as “the opposite of a fan.” Simply stated, the turbine takes the energy in that wind and converts it into electricity. So how does it do that? First, the wind applies pressure on the long slender blades, usually 2 or 3 of them, causing them to spin, much like the wind pushes a sailboat along its path through the water. The spinning blades then cause the rotor, or the conical cap on the turbine, and an internal shaft to spin as well at somewhere around 30 – 60 revolutions per minute. The ultimate goal is to spin an assembly of magnets in a generator which will, well, generate voltage in a coil of wire thanks to electromagnetic induction. Generators require faster revolutions, however, so a gear box typically connects this lower speed shaft to a higher speed shaft by increasing the spin rate to around 1000 to 1800 revolutions per minute. These gear boxes are costly as well as heavy, so engineers are looking to design more “direct-drive” generators that can work at the lower speeds.

Answer:

For an individual who is heterozygous for two genes, Aa and Bb, what does independent assortment predict? Offspring inheriting the recessive allele

of the first gene will also inherit the dominant

Explanation:

Aa x Bb= AB, Ab, aB and ab

so the first gene will also inherit the dominant gene
