The answer is A. <span>much more; much shorter than
</span>
Torpor is a short sleep that aims to conserve energy of the animal. In torpor state, the animal will have much lower temperature because the metabolic rate is decreased. Hibernation basically a multiple and longer torpor. The animal will be easier to wake in torpor than hibernation.

There are so many microbes in a single mL of culture, it is very difficult to perform one dilution to produce countable cells. M
Feliz [49]

Answer:

cumulative dilution = 0.000001

Explanation:

A serial dilution is a stepwise kind of dilution repeated a certain number of times, in which the concentration reduces exponentially each time.

The cumulative dilution is the final dilution gotten depending on the number of times dilution has been done and the dilution factor. The formula is given as:

Cumulative dilution = (F)ⁿ

where:

F = dilution factor = 0.1

n = number of serial dilutions = 6

∴ cumulative dilution = (0.1)⁶ = 0.000001

A researcher has developed two stains for use with seed plants. One stains sporophyte tissue blue; the other stains gametophyte
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

A) The pollen grains will be pure red.

Explanation:

Plants have alternation of generations, this means that there are two different stages in their life-cycle: a sexual haploid (n) phase and an asexual diploid phase (2n). These phases occur in different individuals, so there is an haploid plant called gametophyte that carries gametes and after fecundation, it will rise a diploid sporophyte (asexual).  

In seed plants, the sporophyte is the plant that we normally see, and the gametophyte is reduced into an organ of the sporophyte. The male gametophyte is the pollen that is produced in the sporangium in anthers (parts of sporophyte).  When a pollen grain fecundes a female gametophyte (egg), it will produce a diploid embryo or new sporophyte.

Therefore, if the researcher exposes pollen to both stains, these grain will stain red, because red stain identifies gametophyte tissue.
