Answer:

The Laura tried to grow micro-organisms in culture broth medium in Petri-plates but the microbial growth was not observed even on the fourth day of culture which could be due to:

1. Laura could have not provided the correct broth medium maintaining the with pH and salt concentrations.

2. Microorganisms did not get optimal growth conditions.

3. The bacterial source could have died after the collection which could have lysed after their death and thus no longer visible.

Who discovered the monomers of nucleic acids? Phoebus Levene James Watson, Francis Crick, and Rosalind Franklin Friedrich Miesch
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Phoebus Levene( 1896, Sagor Russia - Septemeber 1940, New York)

Explanation:

These were developed by Phoebus Aaron Theodor Levene ,he was a russian who studied medicine, with keen interest in organic chemistry.

He migrated to the US in 1891, and started practising medicine  in 1892.Due to his strong interest in research he combined research(1894) in  molecular structure of sugars with medical practice,But this was cut short when he contracted tuberculosis.

Between 1896- 1906,he collaborated with many nucleic acids  and protein exoperts  e.g Albrecht Kossel and Emil Fischer to  wok on the structure of DNA.And headed the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research.

He works included :the isolation of  Nucleotide-monomers of DNA

:the isolation of D-ribose sugar from ribonucleic acid molecule.(RNA)

Discovery of 2-deoxyribonucleic ,

How the components of Nucleotide(phosphate group,sugars, and organic bases) combined to form nucleotide, and how the latter undergo condensation reaction to form DNA.

Oduvanchick [21]
Option A is correct. After making a punnet square, we can see that the genotypic ratio would be 1:2:1, being 25% dominant, 25% recessive and 50% heterozygous. However, we are asked for the phenotypic trait percentage. The phenotypic ration is 3:1, with 75% polka dotted tail (dominant gene active) and 25% solid tail (recessive gene active).

Use the following example for the question. A species of fish can withstand a narrow range of temperature. Above 100°F there are
RUDIKE [14]
<h2>Zone of physiological stress</h2>

Explanation:

For this particular species I would label 90°F to 94°F as the temperature zone of physiological stress.

We find that within this temperature range the number of individual in the population lessens. This means they are under certain physiological stress which limit there growth.

Again within 95°F–96°F  we find that the number of individual is maximum. This means that the population can utilize the available resources to their maximum efficiency at this range. So, it is the optimum range.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option B is correct.

B. How ecologically sensitive the area is, and how the activity would impact the benthic organisms.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Being the marine biologist It will be my first concern to see and bind its impact on marine life and benthic organisms. It will find that how ecologically sensitive this area is and how it is going to affect the activity of marine life. Because marine life is my priority being the marine biologist.
