<u>Answer:-</u> <em>Option C </em>- evidence that microorganisms cannot grow in boiled broth when new organisms were not allowed to enter.

<u>Explanation:-</u>

  • <em>Theory of spontaneous generation</em> stated that the living organisms can be created from non living matter. However, this theory was disapproved and replaced by the <em>cell theory</em> which stated that all living organisms are created from cells and new cells arise from pre-existing cells.
  • There were several experiments conducted by various scientists to disapprove the theory of spontaneous generation however, the experiment that was most successful to do so was the one conducted by <em>Louis Pasteur</em> in 1859.
  • <em><u>Description of the experiment:-</u></em>

-In his experiment, Pasteur boiled a meat broth in a flask (it was known that boiling the broth kills the micro organisms) and then heated the neck of the flask to bend into a S- shape.

The purpose of the S shaped neck was to allow the air to enter into the flask but not the micro-organisms as the micro organisms will settle by gravity in the neck and not reach into the flask.

<em>observations of the experiment</em> :-

1. Pasteur observed that even though the air entered the flask no micro organisms were growing in the flask.

2. Further,when he tilted the flask so that the broth came in contact with the part of the neck where the air borne microorganisms could have settled he was able to observe microbial growth in the flask.

These observations laid the theory of spontaneous generation to rest and proved that <em>organisms can only grow in the presence of pre-existing cells </em>which in this case were the microorganisms.

The white gene is located on the x chromosome and the cream gene is located on an autosome. bridges reached this conclusion from
Marina86 [1]
The outcome of this mating if white and cream were still different genes but both were located on the x chromosome would have been; Two red eyed females: one red eyed male; one cream eyed male. Crossing or amting a female genotype (Xw+C Xw-e ca, with a male with a genotype of Xw+C Y, would give a red eyed male, a cream eyed male and 2 red eyed females.

In eukaryotic cells, what cellular structure is composed of a neatly packaged dna molecule?
Elza [17]

In eukaryotic cells cellular structure is composed of a neatly packaged DNA molecule histone octamer.

In eukaryotes, however, genetic material is housed inside the nucleus and tightly packaged into linear chromosomes. Chromosomes are made of a DNA protein complex called chromatin this is prepared into subunits referred to as nucleosomes. A chromosome is made up of proteins and DNA organized into genes. each cell usually incorporates 23 pairs of chromosomes.

The records in DNA is stored as a code made from four chemical bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). Human DNA includes about bases, and greater than 99 percentage of those bases are the identical in every person.

DNA is tightly packed up to healthy inside the nucleus of each cell. As proven within the animation, a DNA molecule wraps round histone proteins to shape tight loops known as nucleosomes. these nucleosomes coil and stack collectively to shape fibers referred to as chromatin.
