Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

The entropy is often defined as the measure of the thermal energy of a particular system per unit temperature, as a result of which energy is insufficient to do any work. It is directly related to the temperature and loss of energy to heat. In simple words, it is referred to as the degree of randomness.

The entropy is directly proportional to the temperature and inversely proportional to the loss of energy. Due to this, there occurs an increase or decrease in entropy from one trophic level to another. Each trophic level organism performs several metabolic procedures in which huge amount of energy is lost into the environment which leads to the elevation in the entropy of any system.

Thus, the entropy increases from one trophic level to another because the energy is lost as heat energy, thereby increasing the randomization of the system.

hence, the correct answer is option (B).

If a mutation results in an organism with new characteristics, what might eventually be formed?
Temka [501]

If a mutation results in an organism with new characteristics then eventually a new species will be formed if more such mutations will continue to accumulate in the individual. Mutations result into the accumulation of variations in an individual and when such variations keep on accumulating in a particular organism consistently it leads to formation of a new species or we can say that evolution has occured.

What are they five steps of cloning?
Luda [366]

Hi

Below are five major steps of DNA or gene cloning:

1: You chose the gene or specific piece of DNA you need to clone and cut the gene with restriction enzymes from the source organism.

2: You need to choose a vector for the process of cloning and you will cut the vector with same restriction enzymes through which you have cut your target DNA sequence to be inserted into the vector.

3: You place the target gene into the vector and join or seal the gene with vector by using an enzyme called DNA ligase.

4: You introduce the vector with your target gene into a suitable host organism such as yeast or bacteria through the process of Transformation. In this process host organism takes up the vector containing your target gene and starts replicating the target DNA along with their own DNA and thus creating millions of copies of target gene .

5: In the last step, the DNA or target gene is isolated from host organism and purified and is ready to be used since its quantity has been enormously increased through the process of cloning.

The cloning is also called as recombinant DNA technology and is the main process that is being used in the production of insulin for diabetes patients. You can see below image for better understanding.

Hope it help!

QUESTION 16 Why does spoiled food become more sour? Spoilage microbes produce acid The nutrients in juice react with its packagi
galben [10]

Answer:

Spoilage microbes produce acid

Explanation:

When food becomes spoiled or is unprotected, bacteria will invade the food. These types of bacteria are called spoilage bacteria. The bacteria will multiply by consuming the nutrients from the food and grows very rapidly. In certain conditions, the invading bacteria will produce acids that protects them and creates a barrier for other microbes. This acid is what gives spoiled food a sour taste.
