Answer:

Correct answer is a pleomorphism

Explanation:

Some bacteria have the ability to change their shape and size which is called pleomorphism. The bacteria which change their shape and size are called pleomorphic bacteria.  

These bacteria change their shape due to the change in the external environment condition. For example, bacteria can from rod to coccus shape as their environmental condition changes.  

Some examples of pleomorphic bacteria are mycoplasma, some members of the Deinococcaceae family, helicobacter pylori, etc. So the correct answer is a.

Movement of the chromosomes during anaphase would be most affected by a drug that
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

The options are missing, the options are:

A) prevents the duplication of centrosomes. B) prevents nuclear envelope fragmentation C) prevents shortening of microtubules. D) prevents attachment of the microtubules to the kinetochore. E) prevents nucleosome formation

The answer is C

Explanation:

Cell division is a characteristics of all living cells. Whether meiosis or mitosis, the chromosomes separate in the Anaphase stage. Prior to the anaphase stage is the metaphase, where spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of each chromosome and aligns them at the centre of the cell called METAPHASE PLATE.

Thus, since the aligning of chromosomes at the metaphase plate has to do with attachment of microtubules to chromosomes' kinetochores, the drug that will hinder movement of chromosomes to opposite poles will not stop formation of microtubules. Instead, it will prevent the formed microtubules attached to each chromosome from shortening, as it is the shortening of microtubules that facilitates the pulling apart of the chromosomes they are attached to.

Gold has a specific heat of 0.129 J/(g×°C). How many joules of heat energy are required to raise the temperature of 15 grams of
Elodia [21]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 121.905 \ J  }}

Explanation:

We are asked to find the energy given mass, specific heat, and change in temperature. Therefore, we must use this formula;

q= mc \Delta T

The mass is 15 grams and the specific heat is 0.129 J/(g×°C). Let's calculate the change in temperature.

  • ΔT= final temperature - initial temperature
  • ΔT= 85 °C- 22°C = 63°C

Now we know all the values:

m= 15 \ g \ \\c= 0.129 \ J / (g* \textdegree C) \\\Delta T= 63 \ \textdegree C

Substitue the values into the formula.

q= (15 \ g)( 0.129 \ J / (g* \textdegree C)) ( 63 \ \textdegree C)

Multiply the first numbers together. The grams will cancel.

q= (1.935 \ J/ \textdegree C) ( 63 \ \textdegree C)

Multiply again, this time the degrees Celsius cancels.

q= 121.905 \ J

<u>121.905 Joules</u> are required.
