Biology
1 answer:
Stels [109]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The answer is the 2nd picture: the coccyx bone in humans.

Explanation:

Vestigial Structure:

Structures or anatomical features that do not currently serve a function is the bodily processes of a living organism. Vestiges are believed to have performed active functions in the organism's ancestors throughout its evolutionary history.

Coccyx Bone:

The coccyx or tailbone is an evolutionary remnant of our tree dwelling ancestors. Coccyx has no use in modern humans as we do not need to climb trees.

The coccyx in modern humans serves as an anchor for muscles.

Members of the Deinococcus genus present an interesting conundrum to scientists who try to classify them as either gram-positive
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Bacteria can be classified traditionally into two broad categories according to their cell wall, which are Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negitive bacteria.

Gram-positive bacteria are bacteria that produce a positive result when Gram stain test is performed. It takes up the crystal violet stain of the test, and then show a purple-coloured appearance when seen through an optical microscope. This is as a result of the thick "peptidoglycan" layer in the bacterial cell wall which retains the stain used in the cell after washing it away from the rest of the sample.

Gram-negative bacteria after the decolorization don't retain the violet stain,the outer membrane of gram-negative cells is degraded by the alcohol.The peptidoglycan layer is positioned and between the membrane and a bacterial outer membrane, causing them to take up the counterstain and made appear red or pink.

Therefore, Deinococcus is one genus of the bacterial phylum that have resistant to environmental hazards. They posses thick cell walls that give them Gram-positive stains, but they also posess second membrane that made them them closer in structure to Gram-negative bacteria, which present an interesting conundrum to scientists who try to classify them as either gram-positive or gram-negative.

Explain Segregation of alleles, using pea plant triats in your example. Help
earnstyle [38]
Segregation of alleles happens when the pair of alleles of each parent separate and only one allele passes from each parent on to an offspring. So if you had heterozygous tall plants and mated them (Tt x Tt), they would each separate into T and t, allowing each offspring to get either a T or a t from each parent. The possible genotypes would be TT, Tt and tt.
