Answer:

An autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals. Because autotrophs produce their own food, they are sometimes called producers. Tiny organisms that live in the ocean are autotrophs. Some types of bacteria are autotrophs.

I hope this helps :)

Explanation:

Those who can make their own food by the help of abiotic components like light , sun and water are called autotrophs. Such as Green plants. They make their own food. They don't depend on any other biotic for food. Autotrophs can make their own food cause they contain chlorophyll.

I hope u will understand it :-) :-)

Answer:

0 meters

Explanation:

When we talk about displacement, think that the think of it as the measure of the distance between the starting point of the object, from its end point.

Since we are talking about a lap around a track, it would mean that the starting point is also the end point. So if you started and end at the same point, the distance between it would be 0.

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Codominance

Explanation:

Codominance occurs when two heterozygous allele for a trait is expressed equally in the an organism's phenotype with neither allele being dominant or recessive. In codominance, none of the allele hides the expression of the other allele. So when two alleles are crossed, the offspring carries a combination of the parents phenotype without anyone masking the other.

From the question, the type of genetic pattern of the leopard geckos display is codominance.

UNO [17]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the option which are:

-acid-fast

-DAPI

-lipo

-Gram

Answer:

Acid-fast staining

Explanation:

Acid-fast staining is the technique used to stain and identify the species of the mycobacterium.

During the acid-fast staining, the carbolfuchsin stain is used to color the bacteria as carbolfuchsin solubilizes the lipid of the bacterial wall and the pink stain enters the cell. When these cells are treated with the methylene blue counterstain, the mycobacterium due to the presence of thick cell wall does not allow the entry of the methylene blue as a result of which they appear red o pink.

Thus, acid-fast staining is correct.

Many organisms can reproduce asexually through mitosis, while other organisms reproduce sexually, and their cells carry out meio

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mitosis is a growth division unlike meiosis which an organism undergoes to produce gametes or sex cells during sexual reproduction.

Mitosis is a kind of cell division that results in two daughter cells, identical in genetic composition. An organism can undergo mitosis in asexual reproduction. For each mitotic division, two daughter cells emerge (duplication division), which will propagate the number of the species.

In a case of heavy predation, the prey organism will depend on diverse number to keep its species from getting extinct. Hence, undergoing mitosis to duplicate itself asexually will be most beneficial in this scenario as a large number will increase the chance that some of them will not be a victim of predation.
