<span>A mature sporophyte produces spores by meiosis, a process which reduces the number of chromosomes to half, from 2n to n. Because meiosis is a key step in the alternation of generations, it is likely that meiosis has a fundamental adaptive function. The nature of this function is still unresolved (see Meiosis), but the two main ideas are that meiosis is adaptive because it facilitates repair of DNA damages and/or that it generates genetic variation.
The haploid spores germinate and grow into a haploid gametophyte. At maturity, the gametophyte produces gametes by mitosis, which does not alter the number of chromosomes. Two gametes (originating from different organisms of the same species or from the same organism) fuse to produce a zygote, which develops into a diploid sporophyte.</span>
The flu vaccine changes every year. The flu vaccine is based on a predicted strain that is anticipated to be the most infectious that year. Thats why people who sometimes get the vaccination still get the flu, they don't have the antibodies for the strain they were infected with. Strains for viral disease don't change very much and usually the vaccination for them cover them well.
DNA microarray uses 20-40 sequence-specific oligonucleotides as probes to identify the SNP.
DNA microarray is a technique used to measure gene expression. It works on the principle of hybridization.
The genome of the reference organism is attached to a solid surface (silicon chip). The DNA of the test organism is made to hydride with the reference organism. Depending on the level of hybridization the fluorescent or the chemiluminescent is measured to identify the expression.
Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is the change in the single nucleotide of the genome. SNPs can be identified with the help of DNA microarray.

Explanation:
Well, one could use a magnet to see if it's ferrous. One could melt it to check which type it is, use a metal detector, or just use their senses: If it dings or clinks like metal, and feels like it’s texture. If it polishes with metal polish, is reflective, can be shaped or shape when heated… It usually is a metal. If it rusts, or oxidizes, it is or contains metal. If it “smells" like metal, most likely, it is metal. Finally, if it walks like metal, and quacks like metal, most likely we have a metal
