Answer:

 C) 128

Explanation:

In binary fission each bacterial cell will divide into two parts.

1. Since the bacteria divides divides after every 20 min , We have to find the number of division in two hours two hour(2x60=120 min) which will be;

120÷20=6

It will undergo 6 divisions.

2. To calculate the number of bacteria at the end of 2 hours

Bacteria in the beginning x 2∧ Number of division

1× 2∧6= 128 Bacteria

A. The Sex.
This is because of the last pair int he Karyotype. which is used to determine the sex of a human (XX or XY). In this case because there are 2 long chromosomes, this is a female (XX), but if there was one long and one short, that would be a male (XY). This can also be seen if the chromosome types are labeled like in this diagram. <span />

Using the illustration above, why are the chromosomes in two of the sex cells different from the chromosomes in the parent cell?
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer: A  the chromosomes from another parent cell were introduced

Explanation: A child is created when the male sex cell joins the female cell. If the male and female sex cells had the standard number of chromosomes, as is found in body cells then the zygote (baby) would have double that number of chromosomes. The number of chromosomes would keep doubling every generation. To avoid this doubling the parent's body cells split by miosis which halves the number of chromosomes and so when the sex cells join the total number of chromosomes is the same as that found in the parent's body cells.

During transcription, enzymes bind to a molecule of DNA. Then, the enzymes unwind and separate the DNA's double helical strands.

MRNA or messenger RNA. As the central dogma of biotech goes, DNA is transcribed to mRNA which is translated to tRNA, after which the amino acids form peptide bonds and form proteins. So when you see transcription, the first thing you think of is DNA to mRNA.

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D.

Explanation:

In the given question doctor used the scientific method to understand and explain the natural phenomenon.

The scientific method involves various steps like making an observation followed by background research, predicting a hypothesis and performing tests to test the hypothesis. These steps have been performed by the doctor.

After these steps the doctor will analyse the result and reach to the conclusion. This would be followed by publishing the results in a scientific journal where it would be reviewed by the fellow scientists.

Therefore, the next step will be publishing the result and thus option-D is the correct answer.

By leaving crop roots in the ground and stalks on the surface, no-till plowing helps prevent ____________________.
shusha [124]

Answer:

Soil erosion.

Explanation:

No-till plowing can be defined as a farming method or technique which typically involves planting crops (seedlings) without tilling the soil rather the farmer would only open a narrow or very shallow trench of sufficient depth and width to cover up the seedlings. Thus, the no-till plowing makes crop residues to be left on the soil and by extension preventing soil erosion through the absorption of water by the crop residues.

Hence, by leaving crop roots in the ground and stalks on the surface, no-till plowing helps prevent soil erosion.

Additionally, the water retention ability of no-till plowing is usually a boon to farmers because it slows down evaporation and serves as a good protection for drought-stricken environments.
