The teacher was most likely using the Backbone.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option D (Backbone).

Explanation:

DNA is a large molecule made up of monomer units called nucleotides and serves the function of genetic material of organisms.

Each nucleotide is made up of 5-C sugar (deoxyribose), phosphate group (PO₄³⁻) and nitrogenous bases (adenine,cytosine,guanine and thymine). Sugar and phosphate molecule forms the backbone of the DNA while nitrogenous bases are stacked perpendicular to the backbone which pair with another complimentary base by hydrogen bonds forming a double helical structure of DNA in organisms.

Since teacher was modeling the DNA with the coiled springs, she was modeling the backbone of the DNA formed of sugar and phosphate which twists after every 10 bp or 3.4 nm length.

Thus, option D is the correct answer.

You are given a 1 liter bacterial culture in exponential stage of growth. The generation time of the bacteria is known to be 30
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Option-A

Explanation:

A bacteria divides by binary fission which divides a parent bacteria into the two daughter cells and generation time refers to the average time difference between two consecutive generations.

The bacterial cell grows by the exponential function that is by 2^{number of generation} x initial population of bacteria.

In the given question,

<u>Initial population</u>

the initial population of bacteria - 2x 10³ per ml

So per liter, the bacterial population will be 2 x 10 ⁶

<u>Generation time</u>

1 generation time of bacteria is 30 min.

so 5 hours will have- <u> </u>\frac{300}{30}= 10 generations

<u>New bacterial population</u>

Using formula<u>  </u>2^{number of generation} x initial population of bacteria

2^{10} x (2 x 10⁶)

= 1048 x (2 x 10⁶)

2048 x 10⁶

Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.

The transfer of genes from one organism to another is called genetic engineering. This is new technology used to change the gene
nikklg [1K]

Answer: C) GMOs, genetically modified foods engineered in a lab to produce desirable traits.

Explanation:

The genetic engineering involves the insertion of genes from other organism to the host organism so as to make up genetically modified organism. Some unwanted and default genes are also removed from the organisms so that their body function properly.

The genetically modified foods are the examples of genetic engineering. This is done to produce desirable traits in the food crops. In plants both plants and animal genes are inserted to improve the yield of crops, and to improve their quality. In animals, the insertion of genes of other animals is likely to improve the milk and meat yield.

frez [133]

The correct answer is - No.

The Cambrian explosion is a term used for the big and rapid diversification of the animal species, but it is not the period in which the animal life started. The animal life started in the period between 620 and 550 million years ago, in what is known as the Vendian Period. In the Vendian Period, the first complex animal organisms appeared, started to develop and evolve, though it is not a period where there was a high diversification of the species. The later Cambrian Period provided better living conditions, and that resulted in a so called ''explosion of life'', which resulted in much more new species developing and evolving.
