<u>Answer</u>: Option A) convergent.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • <em>Convergent evolution</em> is a type of evolution in which the organisms evolve independently and attain <em>similar traits</em> in order to adapt to similar environments even though they are<em> not closely related.</em>
  • The similarity can be in terms of body forms, body color, organs, and adaptations.
  • The structures formed due to convergent evolution are analogous structures that perform a similar function but have a different origin.
  • <em>So green and blue algae show convergent evolution as they look similar but are not closely related.</em>

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

a) and b) All the 12 plates taken by the food controller for the analysis are test plates in light of the fact that the food inspector is trying distinctive spinach from 10 unique bundles and do try different things with every one of the 12 plates.  

C) and D).only #11 plate is a negative control since he utilized the spinach which isn't cleaned. so microorganisms can develop on that pate because they have the positive condition to develop themselves.  

e) and f). all #1 - #10 and #12 plates are positive control plates since he swipes all the plates and spinach that can be the reason for the development of microbes so there is an excess of fewer opportunities to the defiling of spinach and he is playing it safe.

Explain why DNA replication is more complex in eukaryotes than in bacteria.
svet-max [94.6K]
In eukaryotes, the DNA strands are linear, and DNA polymerase can't replicate the very ends of the DNA strands! These ends are "protected" by repeated sequences called "telomeres." Either the chromosome gets shorter with each replication, or else a special enzyme-nucleic acid complex called telomerase adds new telomeres to the ends. A prokaryotic chromosome is circular and thus does not have the problem of having ended. 

<span>Eukaryotic DNA is wound around histones, coiled, and supercoiled -- to replicate it, there have to be unwinding mechanisms, and mechanisms to reduce the degree of coiling. In prokaryotes, the winding problem is much less, and there aren't any histones.</span>
