Number the steps of the binary fission process in the correct order

Biology
1 answer:
Naya [18.7K]3 years ago
5 0

Most bacteria rely on binary fission for propagation. Conceptually this is a simple process; a cell just needs to grow to twice its starting size and then split in two. But, to remain viable and competitive, a bacterium must divide at the right time, in the right place, and must provide each offspring with a complete copy of its essential genetic material. Bacterial cell division is studied in many research laboratories throughout the world. These investigations are uncovering the genetic mechanisms that regulate and drive bacterial cell division. Understanding the mechanics of this process is of great interest because it may allow for the design of new chemicals or novel antibiotics that specifically target and interfere with cell division in bacteria.

A direct indication that the white blood cells of the body are functioning would be
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

B. a decrease in the number of pathogens in the body

Explanation:

White blood cell includes immune cell like monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, etc. These cells are responsible for fighting with the pathogens or foreign molecules and eliminate them from the body.

So when any pathogens get enter in the body these cell kills those pathogen and protect us from them. Therefore the decrease in the number of pathogens in the body is a direct indication that the white blood cells in the body are working. So the right answer is B.

What is a pacu fish's predators/dangers
Zepler [3.9K]

he Piranha is one of the most efficient predators on the face of the earth. Granted it is not a large animal, with most only reaching about 5 1/2 to 10 inches (14 – 26 cm), but it is known world wide for its ferocious nature. They have razor sharp teeth and are opportunistic carnivores.

A frenzied attack by a group of Piranha will set the water churning. They will attack and eat all sorts of aquatic animals, insects, lizards and amphibians. They will also devour rodents, carrion (dead meat), and sickly or weakened land animals that venture into the water.

The teeth of the Piranha are triangular in shape with an exact fit in their jaw, comparable to a bear-trap. They are designed to puncture and slice the flesh from their prey. They can strip their prey to the bone in a matter of minutes.

These fish are a great source of fascination. Their natural behaviors have become fodder for the scripts of moviemakers looking for a sensational twist to excite and entice an audience. What could be more intriguing than creating a 'fear factor' from the behaviors of these provocative fish found in the "wild". Yet just like the Great White Shark and the Anaconda constrictor, also popular subjects of thriller movies, the Piranha’s behaviors are over-fantasized.

The Piranha does engage in a feeding frenzy that will "make the water boil" if only because a hungry school of fish are trying to reach the same limited food source. All that activity is bound to create water turbulence. A Piranha school generally only consists of about 20 or so fish, but in a feeding frenzy it can reach up to several hundred..

Piranhas are not always that deadly. Many species live solitary lives once they reach maturity and only four or five species pose any significant danger. Piranhas rarely attack people. Many experts believe they are actually timid fish, and shoal for protection. Even the most aggressive are thought to be not really dangerous until they are trapped and confined, and then attack in self defense. As a pet they are fascinating and beautiful fish, yet you can't hold or pet them. They are not affectionate and owners must be extremely careful, especially when handling them. They do have sharp teeth and an aggressive/defensive nature. Most Piranha bites are sustained when the fish are being handled, though that's not to say a hungry fish is never dangerous.

After a dye diffuses uniformly throughout a glass of water, the dye molecules are no longer moving. True or false?
Anton [14]
The answer is false, liquid molecules continue to move even after the concentration is uniform.

Diffusion happens because there’s a concentration gradient between the dye and the water, therefore dye molecules moves to the water area. But note that this is only the net movement of the molecules, which means, even if more molecules are moving towards water, there are still some dye molecules that are moving in the opposite direction.

So, after the concentration is equal, the motion of the dye molecules does not stop, they still move in random directions, but there’s no net movement instead, as there’s no concentration gradient. Remember molecules are always moving in all directions , it just depends on whether there’s a net movement or not. If there’s no net movement, the amount of molecules moving to each and every direction is always equal.

Which layer in Figure 4-1 forms the cap rock for the oil trap?
aleksklad [387]
I am pretty sure that the layer in figure 4-1 which forms the cap rock for the oil trap is the layer  F that shows an example of stratigraphic traps that includes unconformity, lens, pinch-out in which you can see how t<span>he oil is stuck inside the porosity of the rocks. 
Do hope you will find it helpful! Regards.</span>
