<span>Streptococcus is a genus of coccus (spherical) Gram-positive bacteria belonging to the phylum Firmicutes[3] and the order Lactobacillales (lactic acid bacteria). Cell division in this genus occurs along a single axis in these bacteria, thus they grow in chains or pairs, hence the name—from Greekstreptos, meaning easily bent or twisted, like a chain (twisted chain). Contrast this with staphylococci, which divide along multiple axes and generate grape-like clusters of cells.)</span>
There should be options for this question. I manged to find them elsewhere. They are:
A) the period during which tremendous growth occurs and the organs continue to develop and become functional
B) the period during which the umbilical cord develops
C) the period during which the major organs and structures of the organism first develop
D) the period during which the zygote moves down to the uterus and begins to implant in the lining
The correct answer is C. The embryonic period is the period during which the major organs and structures of the organism first develop. The embryonic period lasts from implantation of the egg in the uterus until about 8 weeks from the time of conception. It is the second major stage of prenatal development, prior to embryonic is the germinal stage and lastly is the fetal stage.
Maria and craters are explained below:
<u>Explanation:
</u>
- The Moon is divided into light area lunar highlands and a dark area called Lunar Maria.
- Lunar Maria is large, dark, basaltic plains formed on earth's moon formed by ancient volcanic eruptions.
- Craters are formed when an impacting object falls and hits the moon's surface with greater speed and also formed as a result of the outward explosion of rocks.
- Craters are often caused by asteroids and meteorites with the lunar surface.
- Unlike earth-moon does not have an atmosphere to protect itself from impacting bodies. This is the reason for more number of craters formed on earth.
