Answer:

Endospores

Explanation:

Autoclaving is a sterilization method that involves the use of high temperature and pressure.  In medical application, it is used for the sterilization of medical equipment and also used for vulcanizing rubber and curing coatings in the chemical industry.

Autoclaving process destroys living cells as well as bacterial endospores. Endospores are tough non reproductive structures produced by some bacteria. They have the ability to be dormant, hence can enable bacteria to survive environmental stress.

Answer: Endospores.

Explanation:

Autoclaving is a sterilization method that is used to sterilize nutrient media,laboratory materials and uses high pressure to kill infectious agents and denature protein. It works base on the fact that the boiling point of water increases under high pressure. Autoclaving destroys living cells and endospores of bacteria. The endospores of bacteria are hard or tough in reproductive part.

Answer: Phenotype ratio is two heterozygous round pea : two homozygous wrinkled pea

Probability of getting a wrinkled pea is 1/2

The number of flowers that are homozygous is 2

The probability of getting a round pea is 1/2

Genotype ratio = 2 Rr : 2 rr

Explanation: From the information provided, round pea R is dominant while wrinkled pea r is recessive. A monohybrid cross between a heterozygous round pea Rr and a homozygous wrinkled pea rr will produce four offsprings, two of which are heterozygous round pea Rr and the other two are homozygous wrinkled pea rr.

The genotype ratio is 2 Rr : 2 rr while the phenotype ratio is two heterozygous round pea : two homozygous wrinkled pea. Heterozygous round (Rr) peas will manifest outwardly as round pea because R is dominant while r is recessive.

Since two out of the four offsprings are homozygous wrinkled pea, therefore the probability of getting a wrinkled pea is 2/4 = 1/2. Also, two out of the four offsprings are heterozygous round pea, therefore the probability of getting a round pea is 2/4 =1/2.

Since, only the two wrinkled peas are homozygous, therefore the number of flowers that are homozygous is 2

Given the living conditions of Archaea, what mechanisms do they have to regulate homeostasis?
Lesechka [4]
Although there are mesophile archaea (live in mild conditions), most of the archaea live in extreme conditions (e<span>xtremophiles). These extreme conditions may be related to high salt concentrations (halophiles), high temperatures (thermophiles), very alkaline conditions (alkaliphiles), or very acidic conditions (acidophiles).
In order to regulate homeostasis:
Halophiles </span><span>uses aerobic respiration in waters that can go up to 25%NaCl concentration.
Thermophiles have </span>heat shock proteins whose purpose is to refold denatured proteins to their functional conformation. These heat shock proteins also restore damaged proteins. There are several other mechanisms aiming to protect DNA. For example, some archaea have a protein that stabilises the DNA double-helix conformity raising its DNA melting point by 104ºF. Also, the cell membrane structure is heat-resistant - instead of simple phospholipids, their membranes are made of di-bi-phytanyl diether lipids.
Acidophiles can use carbon dioxide for as a carbon source. They can also, for example, in environments with oxygen process organic molecules by using TCA cycle reversely in order to convert sulfur and oxygen into sulfuric acid.
