The right answer is A. Hardness.

The hardness of a material defines the resistance of a surface of the sample to the penetration of a punch, for example a hardened steel ball (Brinell hardness) or a diamond pyramid (Vickers hardness). If it resists well, it is said hard, otherwise it is soft. The hardness is measured on different scales depending on the type of material considered.

Unlike minerals whose hardness is characterized by scratching (Mohs scale), bounce or penetration tests are usually used to characterize the hardness of metals, plastics and elastomers. These tests have the advantage of being simpler to perform and give reproducible results. There is a wide variety of possible hardness tests, they are widely used in quality control to compare or estimate the strength or stiffness of materials.

Hello,

I believe you're asking which option is true. If so, A) do not require a medium. Unlike mechanical waves, electromagnetic (or light) waves do not require a medium. It has been proven that light travels in a straight line. Light waves are, in fact, electromagnetic radiation, and they can travel in a vacuum.

Answer:

The correct answer is -

1. right-handed

2. right-handed

3. positive

4. left-handed

5. negative

6. negative

Explanation:

In a circular bacterial chromosome, the structure of DNA is a right-handed double helix In a circular bacterial chromosome.

If DNA is twisted in the right-handed direction, it becomes overwound. Overwinding results in positive supercoiling takes place. If DNA is twisted in the left handd direction, it becomes underwound. Underwinding results in negative supercoiling.

f. One effect  negative supercoiling in bacterial chromosomes is to promote separation of the two strands of DNA in the double helix
