Answer:

B. Plants and animals can both reproduce sexually.

Explanation:

In addition to studying several phenotypic characteristics of the pea in isolation, Mendel also studied the combined transmission of two or more characteristics. In one of his experiments, for example, the color of the seed, which can be yellow or green, and the texture of the seed husk, which can be smooth or rough, were considered simultaneously. In this way Mendel studied independent assortment, he used as evidence the animals' ability to reproduce sexually.

Plants originating from yellow and smooth seeds, both dominant traits, were crossed with plants originating from green and rough seeds, recessive traits. All seeds produced in the F1 generation were yellow and smooth.

The F2 generation, obtained by the self-fertilization of plants originating from F1 seeds, was composed of four types of seeds: 9/16 yellow-smooth, 3/16 yellow-rough, 3/16 green-smooth, 1/16 green-rough.

Mendel concluded that independent factor segregation for two or more characteristics was a general principle, constituting a second law of inheritance. Thus, he called this principle the second law of inheritance or the law of independent segregation, later called Mendel's second law: The factors for two or more characteristics are segregated in the hybrid, being distributed independently to the gametes, where they combine at random.

If you were an electron, and your home town was your nucleus, what would you need to do in relation to your home town to emit li

Scilla [17]

Answer:

Option B, Move closer to your home town

Explanation:

The options for the given question are as follows -

A) Knock down your previous house and build a bigger one.

B) Move closer to your home town.

C) Move further away from your home town.

D) Stay where you are but speed up your daily life

Solution -

Electrons carry negative charge while nucleus carries positive charge due to the presence of positively charged proton ions and neutral ions (which has no charge). All the electrons are attracted towards the nucleus due to its positive charge. The orbit on which an electron revolves around a nucleus has higher energy level as compared to the energy levels located in between the space of electron and nucleus.

While moving from a high energy orbital to a low energy level orbital, an electron releases some energy. Hence, in order to move closer to home, electron needs to push itself toward the nucleus by releasing energy

Hence, the given option is B

What is mixed-acid fermentation? how is methyl red used to determine if a microbe has undergone mixed-acid fermentation?

Vika [28.1K]

Mixed Acid Fermentation is a biological process by which a six carbon sugar is converted into complex mixture of acids. It is an example of anaerobic fermentation reaction which is commonly seen in bacteria.

The fermentation produces lactate, acetate, succinate, formate, ethanol, $H_{2}$ and $CO_{2}$ and their formation depends upon the presence of certain key enzymes in the bacterium.

The Methyl Red test is used in detecting occurring of mixed acid fermentation pathway when glucose is provided to microbes by using ph indicator. If the fermentation pathway has taken place, the mixture of acids will make the solution very acidic and causes red color change. The Methyl Red test belongs to the group called as IMViC tests.
