galben [10]3 years ago
5 0

Mercury is the only one in liquid state at room temperature.It's used in thermometers because it has high coefficient of expansion. Hence, the slightest change in temperature is notable when it's used in a thermometer. It also has a high boiling point which makes it very suitable to measure higher temperatures.

blagie [28]

Answer:

b) spontaneous reverse mutation

Explanation:

Spontaneous mutations are produced by natural biological processes, while induced mutations are produced by mutagenic agents that trigger nucleotide errors in the DNA sequence. In the first phase of the experiment, Sally generated an induced mutation by using 5-bromouracil. The resulting strain required a constant supply of tryptophan to grow.

A reverse mutation restores the wild-type phenotype modified by a forward mutation, thereby reversing the phenotypic alteration to its original state. In a second step of the experiment, the colonies grew without the supply of tryptophan, thereby evidencing that the mutation was reversed in the original colony.
