En microscopía óptica, la inmersión (generalmente en aceite, aunque también se puede efectuar en agua o con medios sólidos) es una técnica utilizada para aumentar el poder de resolución de un microscopio. Esto se consigue mediante la immersión en un aceite transparente de alto índice refractivo tanto de la lente del objetivo como del espécimen a observar, aumentando así la apertura numérica de la lente del objetivo.

Los aceites de inmersión son sustancias transparentes con las propiedades ópticas y las características de viscosidad necesarias para su uso en microscopía. Los aceites típicos utilizados suelen tener un índice de refracción de alrededor de 1,515.1​ Un objetivo de inmersión es una lente especialmente diseñada para ser utilizada de este modo. Muchas lentes condensadoras también proporcionan una resolución óptima cuándo están inmersas en aceite.

El primero en desarrollar está técnica a mediados del siglo XIX fue el óptico italiano Giovanni Battista Amici (1786-1863).

Someone please calculate the ratio of offspring please help pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Over [174]

Answer:

2. 1 Pink : 1 white

3. 1 Red : 1 Pink

4. 1 Red : 2 Pink : 1 White

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for flower colour in snapdragon plants. The alleles of the gene exhibits incomplete dominance i.e. the red allele (R) ia not completely dominant over the white allele (W), hence an intermediate pink phenotype (RW) is formed. Based on this, a red snapdragon will have genotype, CRCR while a white one will have genotype, CWCW. The intermediate pink phenotype will have a genotype, CRCW.

The image attached to this question shows four crosses between different traits.

In the second cross between a pink (CRCW) and white offspring (CWCW), 2pink and 2white offsprings will be possibly produced in the ratio 1:1.

In the third cross between a red (CRCR) and pink (CRCW) snapdragon, 2 red and 2 Pink offsprings will possibly be produced in a ratio 1:1.

In the fourth cross between a pink (CRCW) and pink (CRCW) snapdragon, red, pink and white offsprings will be produced in the ratio 1:2:1.

See attached image for the complete punnet square. Note that, there was a mistake in the Genotype of the last cross i.e. pink has genotype CRCW not CWCW.

Where does energy first come into an ecosystem?
Zinaida [17]

Answer:B. Sunlight provides energy to producers

Explanation: photoautotrophs (plants) produce energy from sunlight by photosynthesis. This is the only energy production based on an external source of energy. Plants, whether alive or dead, are consumed by heterotrophs - bacteria, fungi and animals. The nutrients and energy from dead heterotrophs (and some live ones) are recycled by both autotrophs and heterotrophs.
