Answer:

B. The pathogen must be grown in pure culture.

Explanation:

Virus, and also some bacteria can not be cultured in "lifeless media". In the case of bacteria, we refer to the obligate intracellular ones, and all virus. Thus, this postulate can not be fulfilled in all cases. Virus can be propagated on tissue cultures, but certainly this was not considered by Koch. Moreover, these methods often result in spontaneous genetic alterations, which leads to adaptation and even attenuation in animal models of disease, so, the cultured virus perhaps does not induce the same disease when introduced to another specimen.

What is traslocation​
stira [4]

Answer:

The exchange of chromosome segment between non-homologous chromosomes is called translocation.

It is of two types:

  • Reciprocal translocation

There is an exchange of chromosome segments between two non- homologous chromosomes in reciprocal translocation.

  • Non- reciprocal translocation

A part of chromosome is translocated from one non-homologous chromosomes to other so that one chromosome becomes deficient and another non-homologous chromosome gains the piece of chromosome and becomes long.

Hope this helps...

Which the following statements typifies tropical rain forests? A. They are usually composed of at least ten distinct layers, or
Novosadov [1.4K]

        The right answer here is option C. They occur in areas with ancient, mineral-poor soil.

         An example of that is Amazonia in Brazil, it's one of the biggest forests on earth, and at the same time, we know its soil is poor, but at the same time it has some special materials that can be found there, such as niobium. This forest is, too, rainy almost all the time, and this many trees maintain the temperature of the whole earth stabilized. These kinds of forests can grow in this soil because of the burlap, that's organic materials from its own trees. It's consumed by them, and through this way, it survives and extends its size when humans don't use its resources too much.

State 4 ways by which through which a soil is depleted ​
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Explanation:

Leaching – Plant nutrients are lost beyond the reach of plant roots. Usually caused by excessive rainfall washing nutrients deep down into sub-soil beyond new roots reach.

Soil erosion – Top soil is lost by the agent of erosion e.g. wind, water.

Monocropping – This utilizes only specific nutrients from a particular zone making it exhausted. -It also causes accumulation of certain pests and diseases.

Continuous cropping –This continuously exhaust the fertility of land unless the the land if fallowed.

Change of soil PH -Use of either acidic or basic fertilizers affect soil pH and Consequently the presence of micro-organisms hence soil fertility affected.

Burning of vegetations –Destroys organic matter and soil structure. Nutrients are lost and soil exposed to erosion.

Accumulation of salts – Common in waterlogged areas and semi-arid areas in which poor drainage causes evaporation during the dry periods, making the soil saline.
