Answer:

The correct answer is D) They convert elemental nitrogen into ammonia and nitrates for uptake by the plants.

Explanation:

Plants and crops are not able to use elemental nitrogen. Most of the microorganisms that live around the roots of the plant helps in converting the elemental nitrogen into ammonia and nitrate so that plants can use and uptake the nitrogen from soil.

These bacteria are called nitrogen-fixing bacteria. They invade the roots of plants and crops and form root nodules where they grow and convert nitrogen into ammonia and nitrate which is taken by plants. Some nitrogen-fixing bacteria are <em>Rhizobium , Nostoc, Azotobacter, Beijerinckia,</em> etc. So the right answer is D.

Explanation:

Epistasis is a type of gene interaction in which one gene masks or modifies the expression of another gene at a distinct locus.

Dominance refers to the gene interaction in which one allele of a given gene masks the expression of another alllele of same gene.

The comparison of dominance and epistasis give the following  information:

  • Dominance  involves  allelic suppression while epistasis involves non-allelic suppression.
  • Dominance involves a single pair of alleles while epistasis involves two pairs of allele.
  • In dominance, the expression of recessive allele is suppressed while in epistasis, either recessive or dominant  non allele is suppressed.
  • The effect of dominance is due to the dominant allele while epistasis may be due to dominant or recessive allele.

How are melanophores an adaptation for sharks?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
Melanophores are small pigments that are present in the dermis layer of the skin of a shark. They impart a gray color to the dorsal and lateral surface area of the shark. They help in background adaptation and countershading of the body, which makes a shark difficult to be seen.
