Gram's staining is a differential staining technique that employs a primary stain like crystal violet and a counter stain like safranin along with the decolourizing agent alcohol and a mordant called the Gram's iodine.

Iodine is a mordant added after the primary stain. It fixes the stain by combining with it to enchance the staining ability. This forms an insoluble crystal violet iodine complex appearing purple under the microscope. These microorganisms are classified as Gram positive.

If addition of iodine is skipped, crystal violet is not fixed on the slide and the insoluble complex is not formed. The cells are decolourized by alcohol and are stained by the counter stain safranin making the Gram positive cells wrongly indentified as Gram negative due to its pink colouration. Thus, the slide will show all the cells as pink coloured Gram negative cells.

why was it imporatnt for mendel to study such a large sample of pea plants to determine the probability of inheritance

 I<span>t is important for Mendel to study such a large sample of pea plants to determine the probability of inheritance because</span> higher sample size gives more accurate results.

>>>Mendel coined the terms “recessive” and “dominant<span>” in reference to certain traits.One best association to this is is his study about pea plants. According to him, green peas are recessive and yellow peas are dominant.</span>

Fossil fuels are usuallyFossil fuels are usually formed from:
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer: b. Remains of formerly living things buried by sediments in regions with little oxygen.

Explanation:

Fossil fuels are underground geological fuel deposits which are formed from the decaying of organic materials (animals and plants) over hundreds of millions of years in the earth's crust, which furthur processed into coal, crude oil, heavy oils or natural gas by exposure to pressure and heat

Fossil fules are present only in sedimentary rocks under litte oxygen the provide temperatures and pressures that do not kill fossil remains, unlike most igneousand metamorphic rocks.

Hence, the correct option is b.

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

The answer to your question is ACUCTTCUGGUCCCAACA

Explanation:

Base sequence

                         TGAGAAGACCAGGGTTGT

Nitrogenous bases change from DNA to RNA

                   DNA                      RNA

                      Adenine                 Uracil

                      Thymine                  Adenine

                      Guanine                 Cytosine

                      Cytosine                 Guanine

Then from left to right, the new sequence the RNA is

                       

                           ACUCTTCUGGUCCCAACA

In ATP, which bond is broken when energy is released and when energy is added which bond forms?
Marrrta [24]
Energy is released from ATP by the breaking of the phosphate bond. A<span>denosine triphosphate, or ATP, consists of a sugar called ribose, the molecule adenine and three phosphate groups. During the hydrolysis of ATP, the last phosphate group is transferred to another molecule, thus breaking the phosphate bond. This reaction causes energy to be released to power other activities within the cell.</span>
