Carbon is the only element that can form so many different compounds because each carbon atom can form four chemical bonds to other atoms, and because the carbon atom is just the right, small size to fit in comfortably as parts of very large molecules.

One fish of this type has alleles 1 and 3 (S1S3) and its mate has alleles 2 and 4 (S2S4). If each allele confers a unit of color
otez555 [7]

Answer:

The options to the question are:

A) 1/4

B) 1/5

C) 1/8

D) 1/2

E) 0

The answer is D (1/2)

Explanation:

If each fish can possess only two allele types, a cross between a fish with allele types S1S3 and S2S4 will produce four possible offsprings using a punnet square.

S1S3 will produce S1 and S3 gametes while S2S4 will produce S2 and S4 gametes.

Each allele type confers a particular number of unit color to the fish i.e. S1 confers one unit color, S2 confers two, S3 confers 3, S4 confers 4 and so on........

A cross between S1S3 and S2S4 will yield offsprings S1S2, S1S4, S2S3 and S3S4. Combining these allele types, we will realize that only S1S4 and S2S3 will produce fishes with 5 units respectively. Hence, the probability of producing offsprings with five units of color is 2/4 or 1/2.

Which of the following describes a cell structure that a Gram-negative bacterium has that a Gram-positive bacteria does not have
Furkat [3]

A Gram- negative bacteria has a thin cell wall of Peptidoglycan which is sandwiched between the cell membrane and outer membrane. Where as, the Gram positive bacteria has a thick layer of Peptidoglycan outside their cell membrane.

Hence Gram- negative bacteria is different from a Gram- negative bacteria in because it has an extra layer that is outside the Peptidoglycan layer.

Hence the right option is D

This feature of the Gram-negative bacteria does not let crystal violet solution to soak into its Peptidoglycan layer because it is covered by the extra layer where as an Gram- positive bacteria will easy soak into crystal violet solution due to the exposed Peptidoglycan layer.
