This evidence suggests that the bacteria reproduce asexually

Explanation:

Bacteria reproduce asexually by binary fission. In binary fission the nucleoid and cytoplasm gets divided into 2 cells and cells produce are identical.

Binary fission is a programmed division in which first replication and then cell division or fission takes place.

The bacterial cell undergo semi-conservative mode of DNA replication. In this mode the DNA is exactly the parents as half of the DNA from parent strand is replicated via two strands of DNA.

Peripheral ring of plasma membrane forms invagination forming double membranous septum. This led to the equational division of the cell.

The colony of bacteria after 16 generation remains identical to parents because of the asexual reproduction in which semi conservative DNA replication and equal division of cell takes place

mash [69]

The potential ecological niche of an organism is its fundamental niche, while the niche an organism actually occupies is its realized niche.

<h3>What is called Ecological Niche?</h3>

Ecology uses the term "niche" to describe a species' role in a community. A species' niche is defined by the physical, environmental, and interactions with other species requirements (such as temperature or topography) (like predation or competition) Ecology defines a niche as the compatibility of a species with a certain environmental circumstance. It explains how an organism or population reacts to the distribution of resources and rivals (for instance, by expanding when resources are abundant and shrinking when predators, parasites, and pathogens are scarce), as well as how it changes those same factors.

Imagine that you are a genetic counselor, and a couple planning to start a family comes to you for information. Charles was marr
storchak [24]

Answer:

1/6

Explanation:

Assuming the disorder is not sex linked, Charles is a carrier so he will be Ff.

His wife Elaine can be a carrier or not because her parents must have been both Ff

Possible F1 generation for her was FF, Ff, Ff and ff. She does not have the disease.

Therefore the total chance of her having FF was 1/3 whereas Ff will be  2/3

Probability of the kid having the disease will be calculated by;

(2/3×1/4) +(1/3×0)= 1/6
