Theodor W. Engelmann illuminated a filament of algae with light that passed through a prism, thus exposing different segments of

algae to different wavelengths of light. He added aerobic bacteria and then noted in which areas the bacteria congregated. He noted that the largest groups were found in the areas illuminated by the red and blue light.
What did Engelmann conclude about the congregation of bacteria in the red and blue areas?A) Bacteria released excess carbon dioxide in these areas.B) Bacteria congregated in these areas due to an increase in the temperature of the red and blue light.C) Bacteria congregated in these areas because these areas had the most oxygen being released.D) Bacteria are attracted to red and blue light and thus these wavelengths are more reactive than other wavelengths.E) Bacteria congregated in these areas due to an increase in the temperature caused by an increase in photosynthesis.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

The aerotaxis movement experiment performed by the Theodor W. Engelmann played an important role in understanding the photosynthesis.

The experiment was performed on the <em>Spirogyra </em>filamentous algae which were exposed to a different wavelength of light.

The other aerobic bacteria present in the test tubes started moving and accumulated near the two regions of the <em>Spirogyra</em> where they were exposed to the blue and red light of the VIBGYOR.

The region receiving red and blue light produced more oxygen through photosynthesis which indicated that these two wavelengths of the light are more active for photosynthesis than any other wavelengths.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.

Which of the following statements about wings is true?
svp [43]

Answer:

Option (A), (B), (D) and (E).

Explanation:

Wings are present in class Aves that helps the birds to fly. Wings provides the means of locomotion and also allow the sexual selection in case of birds. The wings are the modified forelimb of birds.

The bats wings are ancestral whereas birds have derived wings. Birds and reptiles (turtle) mostly have ancestor with wings. On the basis of wings we cannot construct a phylogeny tree. Hence, wings are not the ideal characteristics for the construction of a phylogenetic tree.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A), (B), (D) and (E).

Give one example of a bad mutation and one example of a good mutation.!
topjm [15]

Answer:

Bad mutation: deletion/addition mutation

Good mutation: silent mutation

Explanation:

Addition or deletion mutation results in the reading frame of codons to be changed, leading to a extensive missense mutation that will lead to a non-functional protein product to form.

Good mutation are silent mutations that leads to no change to the final product but causes codons to change in sequence. This increases genetic diversity in the gene pool that enables the species to be more resilient to environmental changes.
