The Oxidation-Fermentation Test is used to differentiate bacteria built on their capability to oxidize or ferment specific sugars.
Once microbes are inoculated,-One tube is sealed with a layer of sterile mineral oil to promote anaerobic growth and fermentation.-The other tube is left unsealed to allow aerobic growth and oxidation.
Organisms able to ferment the carbohydrate or ferment and oxidize the carbohydrate will turn the sealed and unsealed yellow throughout.
Organisms able only to oxidize the sugar will turn the unsealed yellow medium and leave the sealed medium green or blue.
Fragile fermenters will convert both tubes slightly yellow at the top.
Organisms not able to metabolize the sugar will either produce no color change or will turn the medium blue due to alkaline products from amino acids degradation.
Since Pair #1 showed complete yellowing for sealed and unsealed, these Organisms able to ferment the carbohydrate or ferment and oxidize the carbohydrate. So our interpretation will be that the organism has: Oxidation and fermentation OR fermentation only.
For tubes #2 and #3, the sealed tubes were green throughout suggests that they need oxygen for aerobic growth, and the fact that their unsealed tubes showed light yellowing is evidence for oxidation. Sealed - Green and Unseal - Yellow. Our interpretation for these pairs of tubes would be : Oxidation
Tube 1 can be either Oxidation and fermentation OR fermentation only. So reliability of this needs to be confirmed more with additional testing.
Tubes 2 and 3 are most reliable because they can only be oxidation only and no fermentation.
the correct answer is Evaporation
hope this helps :)

Answer:
Natural selection is one of the mechanisms by which an organism evolve. In the natural selection when the trait of an organism allows the organism to grow and reproduce in an environment and nature selects it, it is then passed on to the generations and become permanent.
Artificial selection is also one of the mechanism of evolution in which instead of nature, the selection is made by humans like the breeding experiments on dogs and plant crops.
The artificial selection and natural selection are interlinked as in the artificial selection the trait selected by the humans were also selected by nature like the case of crops, the crossing between desired plants produced results which were useful to the humans but grew and reproduced only when the environment selected it to grow and reproduce.
The total amount of sea ice showed a decline from 2012 to 2019. The correct option would be D.
<h3>Graphical illustration</h3>
Looking at the graph, from February to June 2012, there is a decline in the amount of sea ice.
A similar decline in the amount of sea ice can be observed in the year 2019.
However, the sea ice levels for the various months in 2012 remain generally above the sea ice levels in the various months in 2019.
Thus, overall, one can say there is a general decline in the ice level from 2012 to 2019.
