In a chemical reaction, the atoms and molecules that interact with each other are called reactants. In a chemical reaction, the atoms and molecules produced by the reaction are called products. In a chemical reaction, only the atoms present in the reactants can end up in the products.
Answer:
Microscopes are often used to examine specimens which are too small to see in detail using only the human eye. Which of the following procedures should be followed prior to placing a specimen slide on the stage of the microscope?
Turn the objective lens to the lowest magnification setting.
Explanation:
Turnin of objective lens to the lowest magnification enhances visibility which would allow the lens to focus on the specimen clearly. It is always important to start with the lowest magnification.
Answer:
Most likely B).
Explanation:
Dominant traits are the most likely traits, although recessive traits are still possible to pass down, just less likely.
Answer:
The description is provided in the explanation section below
Explanation:
ALTERNATION OF GENERATIONS is a unique phenomenon whereby certain organisms switch between a diploid state and a haploid state in their reproductive life cycle. It is a feature of plants (higher and lower).
A plant is a diploid organism (2n) i.e. contains two set of chromosomes. This diploid state of the plant is called the SPOROPHYTE. The diploid sporophyte (2n) of a plant undergoes meiotic division (reduction division) to produce haploid spores. These haploid spores germinates and grows via mitosis (duplication division) to form the haploid GAMETOPHYTE.
The haploid gametophyte (n), via structures called GAMENTAGIA, produces haploid gametes. The male gametophyte produces male gametes (sperm) while the female gametophyte produces female gamete (egg). These haploid gametes eventually fuse in a process called FERTILIZATION to produce a diploid ZYGOTE (2n) i.e. sperm (n) + egg (n) = zygote (2n). The ZYGOTE undergoes series of mitotic divisions (growth) to form the diploid SPOROPHYTE (2n) of the plant. The cycle restarts again in that order, hence it is called ALTERNATION OF GENERATIONS.
N.B: Mitosis maintains the number of chromosomes of the parent cell while meiosis reduces the chromosomal number of the parent cell by half.
