Water can "defy gravity" and climb uphill? True or false. Why or why not

Biology

The answer is actually <u>true</u><u>.</u>

The starting point of all rivers is higher than their end point. However, under the right conditions, small amounts of water can be drawn upwards, against the tug of gravity, through a phenomenon known as "capillary action". For this to occur, however, the water must be confined into a small flow space.

Hope this helps!  If it does, would you mind marking my answer as Brainliest? Thanks :D

Is Mycobacterium plei gram positive or gram negative or not either or?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer is they show weak positive gram staining reaction.

Explanation:

<em>Mycobacterium phlei </em>is a rod-shaped species of the genus Mycobacterium. They are acid-fast bacteria with mycolic acids rich cell wall due to which gram stain cannot penetrate easily and show light purple color while staining.

When gram staining is performed on the <em>M.phlei </em>, they take light purple color which indicates that it is a gram-positive bacteria and is related to Actinobacteria phylum of the gram-positive bacteria.

Thus, <em>M. phlei</em> is a gram-positive bacteria.

You are studying two traits in fruit flies:eye color where there are two colors, brown and redwing shape where there are straigh
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

e. Red segregated from brown in meiosis I, and straight segregated from curled in meiosis I.

Explanation:

A cross between two flies heterozygous for both genes produced an offspring with the phenotypic ratio of 9:3:3:1. This ratio is expected according to Mendel's law of independent assortment, which states that alleles of the same gene assort independently during gamete formation.

Before meiosis starts in flies, a single diploid cell duplicates its DNA, so each chromosome has 2 sister chromatids that contain the same information.

  • During meiosis I, <u>the homologous chromosomes separate</u> into two daughter cells. The chromosome number is reduced by half, but each chromosome has two sister chromatids.
  • During meiosis II, <u>the sister chromatids separate</u> and each daughter cell from meiosis I divides into two new daughter cells (to get the total of 4 haploid cells).

In a heterozygous fly, each homologous chromosome contains a different allele, and the sister chromatids are copies that carry the same allele. For that reason, both traits were segregated during meiosis I.
