Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

In the given case, a similar amount of colonies is witnessed in both control as well as the test plate. This concludes that it does not influence the organism, thus, there was no enhancement in the rate of reversion, that is, the number of colonies in the test plate does not get decrease. Thus, the compound in the disc is not mutagenic as there was no increase in the reversion rate.

You are a carbon dioxide molecule floating in the air that is about to enter the stomata of a leaf. Tell the story of your adven
fiasKO [112]
<span>A CO2 molecule found a friendly stomata on the bottom of a leaf. As the sun rose, the leaf's cells opened up to let the molecule in through the stoma. Soon, it was moving around inside with other CO2 and water molecules. Soon, the plant--powered by the sun--began re-assembling the molecule into new forms, adding and subtracting bits with other molecules, to make sweet glucose and release oxygen into the air. A curious rabbit couldn't resist a few nibbles of the sweet leaves with their glucose, and soon the CO2 molecule, in its new form as glucose, was inside the bunny's belly, being converted into energy.</span>

Why do you think people like Ben Saunders explore extreme environments? Do you think you’d like to explore an extreme environmen
adell [148]

One major reason for exploring extreme environments is to find new resources. An example of a resource is the search for a new antibiotic. Extreme environments have rare species endemic to the regions which can offer different insights from the normative environment we are used to.

No, I would not. This is because the risk of death is higher in an extreme environment. Example of these risks are deadly diseases or harsh climate. The body may be unable to adjust to the extreme environment hence may be unable to restore homoeostasis;  such as in restoring body heat in extremely cold environments hence leading to hypothermia.
