Answer:

Redi proved spontaneous generation theory by showing that maggots come from meat, not from other flies.

Explanation:

As rightly stated in the options of this question, the theory of Spontaneous generation is a theory that life forms can be generated from non-living or inanimate objects. Several scientists including Needham, Redi, Pasteur contributed to this theory experimentally by either proving or disproving it. Their contribution are as follows:

- John Needham boiled a broth containing living matter but noticed cloudy appearance representing microbial growth. Hence, when microbes grew in Needham's flask of broth, he proposed it was an example of spontaneous generation occurring in microorganisms.

- Francesco Redi, on the contrary, disproved the theory by conducting an experiment using meat. Redi DISPROVED the theory by concluding that flies were responsible for appearance of maggots on the meat. Hence, the statement that "Redi proved spontaneous generation theory by showing that maggots come from meat, not from other flies" is FALSE.

- Loius Pasteur also disproved the theory of spontaneous generation by using swan-necked flasks. His swan-neck flask experiment demonstrated that spontaneous generation does not occur

You add the following components (in the correct volumes and concentrations) to a tube to perform a PCR reaction Buffer Magnesiu
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

b. False

Explanation:

These components are not sufficient to successfully perform a PCR reaction. Deoxynucleoside triphosphates (dATP, dGTP, dCTP, dTTP) are missing so that the PCR reaction can occur perfectly.

The PCR technique allows a specific fragment of the DNA molecule to be amplified thousands of times in just a few hours. This technique revolutionized research in molecular biology because it had taken a long time for DNA amplification. From PCR it is possible to obtain enough copies of a part of DNA to detect and analyze the sequence that is the target of the study.

For a PCR reaction to be performed a solution with some components must be prepared. These components are:

  • Magnesium chloride buffer (to optimize reaction and act as a cofactor for polymerase)
  • Forward and reverse primers (to customize the start of the enzyme reaction)
  • DNA polymerase (Enzyme required for replication of desired DNA region.)
  • DNA Template (the DNA to be copied)
  • PCR-grade water
  • Deoxynucleoside triphosphates: dATP, dGTP, dCTP, dTTP (act as bricks in the construction of DNA molecules).

Which of the following statements is true about passive transport?
user100 [1]

Answer:

No cellular energy is needed in the Passive transport.

Explanation:

A movement of atomic molecules and ions throughout the cell membrane is known as passive transport. In this transportation of molecules no cellular energy is used.

As this movement is influenced by the tendency to grow as entropy, the energy is not in need unlike the active transport. Its rate depends on the permeability of cell membrane. There are four types of passive transport- facilitated diffusion, simple diffusion osmosis or filtration.
