The right option is A. hydrofluorocarbons
Hydrofluorocarbons are pollutants that are likely to be produced from air conditioning.
Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are synthetic fluorinated strong greenhouse gases that are strongly accumulating in the atmosphere. Hydrofluorocarbons are mainly used as refrigerants. Hydrofluorocarbons are used to replace ozone depleting substances such as chlorofluorocarbons and hydrochlorofluorocarbons which are being phased out in air conditioning, refrigeration, foam blowing agents, and solvents. Hydrofluorocarbons are responsible for about 20% of climate pollution by 2050
Answer:
The correct answer is: Attachment.
Explanation:
- Pilus are thread like structures which are present on the surface of the bacterial cell.
- They are mainly responsible for attaching the bacterial cells to a substrate, for obtaining food or to an eukaryotic cell for the purpose of infection.
- Pilus also mediate the process of conjugation in some bacterial cells.
- Conjugation is a process by which genetic material or plasmids are transferred from one bacteria to another through a channel formed in between the two bacteria by the help of the pilus.
- Pilus also helps the bacteria by preventing them from getting recognised by the immune cells in the host.
- A defective pilus will affect all the above processes, resulting in death of the bacteria.
Answer:
Lose water and plasmolyze
Explanation:
- When a plant cell is placed in a solution with a lower water potential it will lose water osmotically and plasmolyze.
- During the process of osmosis water moves from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential.
- <u>Loss of water by the plant cells makes it to shrink or reduce in size and consequently, the plasma membrane pulls away from the cell wall, producing plasmolysis.</u>
Answer:
1/4
Explanation:
Cystic fibrosis is a recessive disorder and therefore, is expressed only in homozygous recessive genotype. Let's assume that the allele "c" is responsible for the disease in the homozygous state. Since the couple already has a child with cystic fibrosis (cc), they both are heterozygous carriers for the disease.
The genotype of male and female each is "Cc". A cross between Cc x Cc gives progeny in the following phenotype ratio=1/4 diseased: 1/2 normal carriers: 1/4 normal. Therefore, the probability of getting a diseased child for them is 1/4.
