In 1668 Francesco Redi did a series of experiments on spontaneous generation. He began by putting similar pieces of meat into ei

ght identical jars. Four jars were left open to the air, and four were sealed. He then did the same experiment with one variation: instead of sealing four of the jars completely, he covered them with gauze (the gauze will exclude the flies while allowing the meat to be exposed to air). In both experiments, he monitored the jars and recorded whether or not maggots (young flies) appeared in the meat.
Refer to the paragraph on Redi's experiments. In both experiments, fies appeared in all of the open jars and only in the open jars. Which one of the following statements is correct?
A. The experiment was inconclusive because it did not nun long enough
B. The experiment supports the hypothesis that spontaneous generation occurs in rotting meat.
C. The expertment supports the hwpothesis that maggots arise only from eggs laid by adult flhes
D. The experiment was inconclusive because Redi used only one kind of meat

Answer:

The experiment supports the hypothesis that maggots arise only from eggs laid by adult flies; that is  only from reproduction and development.

Explanation:

The objective of this experimental set up by Francesco Radi  was to demonstrate the concept of spontaneous generation. He concluded that, Maggots are not spontaneous generated from rotten meats, rather they are products of eggs laid by houseflies who visited the rotten meat to lay eggs. The maggots (larva) are products of complete metamorphosis, from egg to larva to pupa and adult. This is an indication that, new organisms are not formed form spontaneously, but are products of well-defined process of reproduction and development which in this case is a  complete metamorphosis.

Based on this premise he concluded that, if maggots were products of  laid eggs, then they should appear only  when rotten meat is exposed to  open air.However,if they are f products of spontaneous generation they should appear irrespective of  the meat exposure to air or not.

What is the difference between fusion and fission reactions? select 2 that apply
Mumz [18]

Answer:

Difference between fusion reaction and fission reaction.

Explanation:

Fission reaction produce energy while fusion reaction absorb energy.This happens because fission reaction deals with the breakdown of one larger nucleus which result in the generation or liberation of energy.Whereas Fusion reaction combines two smaller atomic nuclei,as a result of which it requires energy for the joining of two smaller atomic nuclei into a larger nucleus.

Answer:

Template strand = complementary strand

GCA AG = CGT TC

TTA CG = AAT GC

GAT AC = CTA TG

CGG AT = GCC TA

DNA strand = mRNA strand

CGA TT = GCU AA

GCT TA = CGA AU

GCA TC = CGU AG

TTC AT = AAG UA

It is more important for DNA replication to be exact than transcription or translation because any error that occurs during DNA replication if not repaired will become permanent and will be transferred to the next generation.

Explanation: In DNA base pairing, G pairs with C and T pairs with A. But in RNA base pairing, G pairs with C and U pairs with A. DNA contains four bases G, C, T and A while RNA contains four bases G, C, A and U.
