Answer:

Streptococcus

Explanation:

Coccus (plural cocci) bacteria are those that are oval or spherical in shape when viewed under a microscope. Coccus bacteria end up forming different shapes when they reproduce or multiply.

When they grow in clusters, they are referred to as Staphylococci, when in chains, they are streptococci and when they are arranged in pairs, they are diplococci. Enterococci are arranged in short chains or in pairs but usually gram positive in nature.

The correct option is streptococcus.

Answer:

<em>Streptococcus</em>

Explanation:

Bacteria can be grouped based on their physical characteristics. Cocci are spherical shaped bacteria, and based on their arrangement can be grouped as:

Diplococci: they appear in pairs

Streptococci: they appear in a chain

Staphylococci: they appear as a cluster (grape-like)

<em>Streptococcus </em>is a bacteria genus known to cause many types of diseases. They grow in pairs or chains.

Note that: staphylococci and streptococci are used denote to denote the arrangement of the cells, <em>Staphylococcus </em>and <em>Streptococcus </em>are bacteria genus. They are named so based on the shape and arrangement of their cells.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

In Labrador dogs, black coat is dominant to chocolate, normal vision is dominant to progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), and normal hip joint is dominant to hip dysplasia. All these genes assort independently. Two dogs that are heterozygous for alleles of all three genes are crossed. Using rules of probability (not a Punnett square), what is the chance that the first pup born to these dogs will be chocolate, have normal vision, and have normal hip joints?

BbVvHh x BbVvHh= BBVVHH, BbVvHh, BbVvHh, bbvvhh

Bb= black coat dominant

Vv= Normal vision dominant

Hh= Normal hip join dominant

probability of having a first born of these dogs will be chocolate, have normal vision and have normal hip joint is 0

Explanation:

As the punette square gives 3:1 phenotype having three black coat, normal vision and normal hip joint and one chocolate, progressive retina altropy and hip dysplasia
