Answer:

B. He controlled pollination.

Explanation:

The statement that best described Mendel's experiment is that he controlled pollination.

Mendel carried out several experiments to study the pattern of inheritance of traits in pea plant. He cross bred phenotypically different pea plants and he was able to make certain conclusions based on how traits are inherited. He could only have been able to crossbreed plants by controlling pollination in the plant.

Mendel did not begin with hybrid plants. A hybrid plant is a product of crossbreeding two different organisms and often carry a mix of traits from the two organisms. Rather, Mendel started with pure breeding pea plants.

Mendel also observed more than one generations. He advanced several of the crossbreeding experiment to F2 generation before propounding the laws of genetics.

Mendel used a plant with short life cycle. They reproduce fast and as such, he was able to study different generations within a short period.

The correct option is B.

Which component is responsible for initially stimulating a muscle contraction?

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Option B, electrochemical signals

Explanation:

The first process that initiates the muscle contraction is the binding of calcium ion with troponin protein. After this chemical interaction, the active binding sites of actin gets exposed. After this myosin binds to the actin sites thereby forming a high-energy head bridge and releasing the pi. Mysosin now goes to a lower energy state by undergoing conformational change. This causes power stroke and actin filament is pulled towards the M-line. Later on the muscle contracts by shortening sarcomere.

This entire process is an electrochemical process. hence option B is correct.

How does food concentration affect yeast activity

jarptica [38.1K]

Yeast food is sugar and its concentration affect yeast’s growth and activity. The process by which yeast metabolize sugar is called fermentation. A sugar concentration that is not very high (up to 3%), increase the fermentation rate. But, with over 3% sugar, the fermentation rate no longer increases. Above 6%, sugar actually decreases the rate because it begins to dehydrate the yeast cells. This effect is called crenation.
