Hatshy [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The two important conditions that must be met before gram staining are-

1. The age of the culture should not exceed 24 hours.

2. Over heating, decolonization should be avoided.

Explanation:

Gram staining is a technique developed to distinguish the bacteria on the basis of the composition of the cell wall around the bacteria.

The gram stain is a sensitive technique so must be performed carefully.  The precautions should be taken to avoid any error while gram staining that is-

1. Age of the culture- The culture should be freshly prepared just 18-24 hours before the experiment as above 24 hours bacteria lose their ability to retain the color so one would not be able to differentiate between the cultures.

2. While performing the experiment one should avoid overheating and decolorization with ethanol as both the factors lead to the loss of crystal violet stain from the cell and they take pinkish color after safranin staying.

Meiosis is a process that produces gametes. Using the diagram, what do you notice about the cells produced in meiosis?
Verizon [17]

Answer:

<u><em>The correct option is C) Meiosis produces 4 daughter cells each with half the number of  chromosomes of the original cell.</em></u>

Explanation:

There are two main processes by which cell divides:

1) Mitosis

2) Meiosis

All the cells of the body divide by the process of mitosis except the sex cells.<em> Sex cells divide by the process of meiosis.</em>

Meiosis can e described as a type of cell division in which four daughter cells are formed each having half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. This is because the cell has to attain half of the maternal and half of the paternal chromosomes at the time of fertilization.

Crossing over and independent assortment are the phenomenon of meiosis which bring genetic diversity among parent and children.

Vladimir79 [104]
Answer:
            The right option for blanks is mRNA, amino acids and polypeptide chain (protein).

Reason:
             During protein synthesis first of all mRNA formation occurs from DNA template. Then mRNA come out from nucleus into cytoplasm and bind with ribosome, where tRNA come and binds to mRNA codon with the help of anticodons. and add amino acids. In this way a chain of polypeptide is formed.
