Name two conditions that must be met for a reliable Gram staining result.

Biology
1 answer:
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.

Air moves from the larynx, through the _____, and then into the lungs. answers
Kaylis [27]
I believe that Air moves from the larynx, through the Trachea, and then into the lungs. Trachea also known as the windpipe provides the flow of air to and from the lungs for cellular processes such as respiration. The lower respiratory system is made up of the trachea, larynx, the bronchial tree, the right lung and the left lung.

A widows Peak is dominant over straight hairline the genotypes of The Offspring are WW, Ww, ww and ww. What are the phenotypes o
anastassius [24]

Phenotypes are the physical characteristics that result from the genotype, which is the genetic makeup of the organism. In this case, either straight hairline or Widow's peak will be the phenotype, as they are the physical characteristics being discussed.

The questions states that a Widow's peak is dominant over straight hairline. So we are going to assume that the Widow's peak allele is W (dominant), and the straight hairline allele is w (recessive).

A dominant allele will mask the presence of a recessive allele unless both of the alleles are both recessive (both ww).

So for the WW genotype, we are going to see the dominant phenotype: Widow's peak.

For the Ww genotype, we are also going to see the dominant phenotype since the dominant allele is going to mask the presence of the recessive allele, so we are going to see: Widow's peak.

Lastly, for the ww genotype, we are going to now see the recessive phenotype, since both alleles are recessive: straight hairline. Note that their are two of these type of offspring as stated in the question.
