Answer:

It is named SF for <em>Streptococcus faecalis.</em>

The genus Streptococcus will be cultured.

Explanation:

  • A selective media is the one which allows the growth of only certain organism with selective properties to ensure that any other organisms do not grow on the media.
  • <em>Streptococcus faecalis</em> is a gram-positive cocci which contaminates milk and water through the fecal route as it inhabits the gastrointestinal tracts of several mammals including humans.
  • The media in which <em>Streptoccous faecalis</em> grows is termed as SF indicating the first letter of the genus and second for the species and being a selective media it can only culture the genus Streptococcus.

Explanation:

Color blindness is a common hereditary condition which means it usually passes from parents. Red green color blindness is passed on from the mother to the son.

The chromosome number 23 is the sex chromosome also responsible for colorblindness. As it is sex linked the son can receive the recessive allele from the mother.

The mother of the child had a recessive allele which she transferred into her son. As it is sex inherited disease the son is affected by gene carried from mother.

Answer:

Signal transduction pathways

Explanation:

Plant hormones act by directly affecting the activities of signal transduction pathways.

Signal transduction pathways are involved in the transfer of signals from outside of the cell to the inside of the cell for the regulation of various cellular activities. For this, the extracellular signalling molecules bind to the receptors that are located on the cell membrane. After their binding due to some change in the receptor molecule, a signal is triggered in to the cell and thus information from outside of the cell is transferred to the inside of the cell through these transduction pathways.

Plant hormones affect these pathways and as a result membranes, enzymes, and genes are also influenced by the plant hormones.
