Answer: SPORES are defined as haploid (1n) cells which develops into gametophytes.
Gametophytes inturn produce either haploid (1n) male or females GAMETES that can fuse to form diploid ZYGOTES.
This basically explains what goes on in Meiosis.
Answer:
d. alcohol inhibits the release of ADH
Explanation:
Alcohol play an opposite role in water reabsorption. ADH is made in supraoptic nuclues of hypothalamus and transfers fby neuron to posterior pituatry where it gets stored and secreted. Alcohol stops the release of ADH from posterior pituatry which decreases the serum level of ADH. As the ADH level lowers it wont be able to reabsorb water from the distal/collecting tubules of kidneys leading to increase in urine volume and urination.
Answer:
<h2>5 minutes
</h2>
Explanation:
1. In bidirectional replication; there are two replication forks, and each proceeding at a rate of 100,000 (as given in the question) nucleotides per minute.
2. So, by the given rate of replication, we can calculate that, it would require 5 minutes for the circular DNA molecule to be replicated by bidirectional replication because each fork synthesize 500,000 nucleotides in 5 minutes ( 100,000 per minute) ( as given, in 5 minutes × 100,000 nucleotides per minute= 500,000 and by 2 forks= 1,000,000) within the time period.
Answer:
The correct answer is A) Biochemical test
Explanation:
In microbiology biochemical test is used to examine the metabolic activities performed by bacteria to identify that microorganism. So in biochemical test enzymatic reaction of cell is usually investigated because there is difference in enzymatic activity of different species of bacteria.
For example, catalase test that is used to differentiate between catalase-positive and catalase-negative bacteria is an example of biochemical test. Catalase-positive bacteria have the catalase enzyme that breaks hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen which is confirmed by bubbles that appear on glass slide.
Catalase negative bacteria do not form bubbles when they are put in hydrogen peroxide which shows that they lack catalase enzyme. So the right answer is A.
Answer: The correct answer is -
d) a dominant trait that depends on the presence of only one of many dominant alleles.
Glaucoma is an autosomal dominant trait, meaning that presence of single copy of the defective gene is enough to cause the disease.
It corresponds to a group of diseases, which cause damage in the optic nerve, leading to loss of vision and if not treated, it ultimately leads to blindness.
Thus, option D) is the right answer.
