Answer:

Option (d).

Explanation:

Mutation may be defined as the sudden, heritable change in the nucleotide sequence of the organism. Mutation may occur due to the errors in DNA replication or may occurs due to the mutagens.

Joshua and Lederberg experiment explains that mutation is the non adaptive and random process that occur in the organism. He used the replica plating of E.coli and grows them on streptomycin drug. The bacteria was grown on the the primary plate and they are transferred to the secondary plate with streptomycin drug in the growth environment. The resistant strain of bacteria grows in the streptomycin environment.The pattern of bacteria growth on the plate explained that mutation occurs randomly and it is a non adaptive process.

Thus, the correct answer is option (d).

All organisms in the kingdom Fungi can be described by which of these characteristics?
loris [4]

Answer:

cell walls made of chitin

Explanation:

Fungal cells differ from mammalian cells in that they have cell walls that are composed of chitin, glucans, mannans, and glycoproteins. Both mammalian and fungal cells have cell membranes; however, they differ in their lipid composition.

Camille and her friends enjoy experimenting with different foods. During a camping trip, they decide to fry bacon using nothing
natima [27]
<span>The two sentences that accurately describe the girls' experience with heat transfer are "Camille heats a rock in the campfire for 30 minutes, and then removes it with tongs. She greases the rock and lays the bacon strips directly on it." By heating the rocks in the campfire and laying the bacon on the rocks, the girls transferred the heat from the fire to the rocks, and the heat from the rocks to cook the bacon.</span>

When a singly ionized potassium ion moves through a channel in the membrane passing from the outside to the inside, what is the
Korolek [52]

The magnitude of the work done by the electric field of the membrane is <u>W = 1.28 × 10⁻²⁰ Joules</u>.

We start with the necessity to take into account a value for the voltage present there in order to solve this problem by first considering that the membranes have two layers, one internal and one external, each responsible for producing a potential difference between the two levels.

As a result, in order to find a solution, it is necessary to take into account the potential difference between the two surfaces. In this instance, we'll assume a particular value for the load, but the recipient is free to substitute a different value if they prefer.

The product of the potential difference and the charge is used to define the work that an electric field performs. The charge of the potassium ion will be equal to that of its electron, so,

q = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ Coulombs

Then the Work would be:

W = Vq

Here,

v = Potential difference

q = Charge

The 80mV potential difference we will have is quantified as follows:

W = (80mV (1V/1000mV))( 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C)

W = 1.28 × 10⁻²⁰ Joules is the amount of work that the membrane's electric field has produced.
