Ningaloo Reef is a fringing coral reef located off the west coast of Australia, approximately 1200 km north of Perth. The reef is 260 km long and is Australia's largest fringing coral reef and the only large reef positioned very close to a landmass.Ningaloo Reef is a two hour flight north of Perth.

Stretching 300 kilometres, the Ningaloo Marine Park begins at Bundegi Reef in the Exmouth Gulf, skirts around North West Cape and ends at the southern gateway to Ningaloo Reef at Red Bluff (north of Carnarvon). It extends 10 nautical miles seaward and encompasses over 5,000 square kilometres of ocean.

Wildlife of the Ningaloo

Flora. The flora of the Cape Range Peninsula is incredibly diverse with over 630 plant species recorded. ...

Birds. The Emu is the largest bird native to Australia and can reach up to 2m in height. ...

Marsupials. Black-footed Rock Wallaby. ...

Whales and Dolphins. ...

Turtles. ...

Manta Rays.

Ningaloo Reef is a fringing, rather than a barrier reef, because it is closer to the shore with shallow water separating the land and reef. ... Lots of these polyps live together in colonies and build the hard coral skeletons which form the basis of coral reefs.

Bacteriophage .They used the radioactive isotope sulfur-35 to label the of the virus and phosphorus-32 to label the of the virus
puteri [66]

Answer:

Bacteriophage  

Explanation:

Bacteriophage is nothing but a virus that harms and kills the bacteria.

The Hershey-Chase Experiments is a well known experiment done by scientist, Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase. They conducted the experiment in the year 1952.

It was an extra ordinary experiment which made the world believe that the DNA is the genetic material and not a protein. In their experiment, they tried to find out if the protein coat or the core of the DNA of the virus which enters into the infected cells would help them to understand whether the genes were made of DNA or of protein.

They used sulfur-35 and phosphorus-32 radioactive isotopes to trace the DNA and the proteins.

In what ways fertilization different in angiosperms stay in another place
Tema [17]

Fertilization is done by germination of pollen on the pistil, without need of moisture as in the case of ferns (character they share with other Spermaphytes).

In Angiosperms fertilization has three essential characteristics:

* it is siphonogamous: the apertured pollen grain possessing two or three cells sees its vegetative cell germinate and form a pollen tube which will convey, with the help of its cytoskeleton, the male gamete (case of the tricellular pollen) where the generating cell ( case of the bicellular pollen) which will carry out its second division of meiosis. In this siphonogamy corresponds to a total franking of water for fertilization.

* it is anisogamous: the female gamete is by far the most massive of the two (the pollen grain is often very dehydrated, the cells it contains have a very small cytoplasmic space).

* it is double: the male gametes conveyed by the pollen grain will merge their nuclei (caryomixis) with those of two different cells. It's a special function for the reproduction of angiosperms. The pollen grain contains two nuclei (all haploids), whereas for example the mammalian spermatozoa contains only one.
