Step One - Obtain a clean microscope slide.
Step Two - Place a drop of liquid on the slide. This is the “wet” part of the wet mount. The liquid used depends on the type of cell being viewed:
If examining a plant cell, tap water can be used.
If examining an animal cell, physiological saline (or contact lens solution) must be used, because if plain water is used, the cell will explode from osmotic pressure. Unlike plant cells and bacteria, animal cells have no cell wall to structurally support them.
Step Three - Obtain the specimen to be used. Some introductory biology classics for viewing include:
Skin of an onion bulb: In order to view the cells, a very thin layer of skin must be obtained. Take a single layer of onion and bend it towards the shiny side. After it snaps, pull gently, and a transparent layer of skin, similar to Scotch tape, will appear.
Elodea leaf: Elodea leaves are two cell layers thick. The cells in one layer are smaller than the cells in the other, so elodea leaves can be used to better understand a microscope's depth of field.
Cheek cells: Human epithelial cells can be obtained by gently rubbing a toothpick on the inside of the mouth, and then swirling the toothpick in the physiological saline on the slide.
Pond water: Obtaining some water from a pond makes wet mount preparation a breeze, since the water and the specimens are both included.

Answer:
The main difference between relative dating and radiometric dating is that relative dating is the method used to determine the age of rock layers according to their relative depth whereas radiometric dating is the method used to determine the absolute age with the use of decaying products of the natural radioactive. Also, absolute dating is more precise than relative dating because it tells the exact age of the fossils. Both are ultimately based on the fossils found in the strata.
Both. You can use it as singular or plural.
The answer is, different versions of the same gene are called alleles
A three banded isoenzyme pattern with a 1:2:1 intensity ratio indicates a <u>dimeric</u> protein.
- Isozyme is a multimeric forms of enzyme having similar specificity of the substrate but differences in kinetics and molecular weights of the enzymes.
- The banding patterns of isozyme observed from electrophoresis is related to the genetic conditions in which different combination of polypeptide chains exhibited under the mendelian principles.
- Hence with the intensity of 1:2:1 ratio, three banded phenotypes are formed having two homomeric and one heteromeric form from the dimeric protein in both multiple alleles at single loci and multiple /single allele at multiple loci.
