Because of their biological point of view which showing their structural resemblance (morphological resemblance) and can interbreed under natural conditions(favour condition) which allow them to produce fertile offspring freely.that's why Asian and African elephants have capable to survive.

True / Fasle
nydimaria [60]

Answer: True, both of the given statements are true.

Explanation:

1. Nearly all the environment contains microorganism whether it is soil, air, water or any other surface. They have the ability of live in the extreme conditions.

There are different forms of bacteria found at different places. Some of them are thermophiles that at found in extremely hot conditions such as thermal vents.

The organism like Psychrophiles are the microorganisms that have the ability to survive at lower temperatures. Example: bacteria found in polar regions.

2. A culture can be defined as a pure culture if it has an unadulterated species of bacteria. It has no contamination and if a small inoculum from the pure sample is streaked on a plate then a pure culture of the sample is obtained.

This should be done in an aseptic condition so that the bacterial species should be free from contamination.

Assume that the mother's genotype is AZ/az, and the father's genotype is Az/aZ, and the recombination rate is 10%. What are the
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

0.45 from mom and 0.05 from dad.

Explanation:

The recombinant progeny might occur due to the crossing over at the time of meiosis in which the exchange of chromosomes occur in the homologous chromosomes of non sister chromatids.

The progeny receives half of their chromosome from the mother and half from the father. The mother 50% AZ and 50% az chromosomes respectively. The 10% recombination has occured due to which the mother chromosomes is reduce upto 45%. The recombinant  10% will be aZ and Az and has 5% frequency. Mom has the ability of az chromosomes is 0.45 %. The father has the genotype 50% Az and 50% aZ. The 10% recombination has occured due to which the father chromosomes is reduce upto 45%. The recombinant will be az and AZ with 5% frequency. So, father has az with 0.05 % probability.

Thus, the answer is 0.45 from mom and 0.05 from dad.

CAM photosynthesis limits CO2 fixation to nighttime hours in order to (A) allow water to enter leaf spaces during the daylight h
bixtya [17]

Answer:

(B) open stomata only at night, limiting water loss because of heat and low humidity.

Explanation:

CAM plants are found in the regions characterized by very hot and dry environmental conditions. These plants reduce the water loss through transpiration by exhibiting CAM photosynthesis.  

They open the stomata during night time when the air is cooler and rich in moisture. They take in CO2 during night time and fix it into the oxaloacetate which in turn is converted into malate and is stored in the vacuoles.  

During day time, stomata remain closed to prevent water loss and the CO2 trapped during night time (released by decarboxylation of malate) enter the Calvin cycle.

Protists are very diverse, and many different classification schemes have been used to define relationships between the protists
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

D. heterotrophic by ingestion, pseudopods

Explanation:

Protists are generally classified  as all eukaryotic organisms that are not plants, animals or fungi. Example is amoeba, paramecium etc.They may be unicellular or multi cellular in nature.Most exist in colonies.

Their mode of nutrition can be photosynthetic or hetrotrophic. Hetrotrophic  protists   can be divided into  phagotrophs and osmotrops/saprotrophs. The phagotrophs  makes use of the cell body to engulf the food materials as  in amoeba ,carry out extracellular digestion before swallowing it.

Osmotrops absorbed dissolved food from surrounding liquid environments directly. (Some photosynthetic protists can also be heterotrophic.

Amoeboid movement is the mode of locomotion of protists and some  other eukaryotes. It involved the protrusion of cytoplasm, which exert pressure on the cell membrane to form pseudopodia and  the posterioly  evolved  <u>Uropods. </u>

<u />

<u>  </u>

<u>Sol-gel theory has been proposed to expalin this movements, The ectopalsm of amoeba is gelly-like , while the endiplams is less viscpus   and said to be sol. The interchange of the cytoplasmic fluis between the endo-and ecto plasm gives the SOL-GEL propulsion of the protopalms for the amoebic moveemnts .</u>

<u />

<u>The false feet(psuedopodium) drags the amoeba  along in the direction of the flow of the cytoplasm.</u>

Therefore option D is  the right option
