Answer:
Option (2).
Explanation:
Ames test is used to identify the mutageneicity of the compound. The bacteria are treated with chemicals in the nutritive environment to determine whether the substance can acts as a mutagen or not.
The bacteria that can restore the biosyntheic activity in the environment can be considered as mutagen. The mutant bacteria can be easily identified in the Ames test.
Thus, the correct answer is option (2).
2 is correct all animals have a similar goal is survive and reproduce
Answer:
What are stinkhorns? Stinkhorns are mushrooms that are found from the tropics to more temperate regions such as Wisconsin. They can suddenly appear in mulch, lawns, and areas with bare soil. These visually-shocking fungi get their common name from their characteristic, unpleasant odor. Although they are often unwanted additions to home gardens, stinkhorns do not cause plant disease. Because stinkhorns can grow on dead organic material, they actually are beneficial in that they contribute to the recycling of plant debris into nutrients that improve soil fertility and can be used by garden plants.
What do stinkhorns look like? Stinkhorns grow into various shapes, but they are bestknown for looking like horns or penises. A few species grow several appendages, resulting in an octopus-like appearance. Some species have a veil attached below the cap that resembles a lacey skirt flowing from the mushroom’s hollow stalk. Stinkhorns can range in color from white, beige, and olive to bright orange or red with black accents. The tips of mature stinkhorns are usually coated in a spore-containing slime. Gardeners often discover immature stinkhorns as they dig in the soil. The immature forms appear as whitish to pink or purple, egg-shaped masses. Stinkhorns develop rapidly sometimes growing up to four to six inches per hour, and can generate enough force to break through asphalt.
Where do stinkhorns come from? Stinkhorns are often first introduced into a garden in organic materials (e.g., soils and mulches) that contain microscopic hyphae (i.e., fungal threads) of stinkhorn fungi. Once stinkhorns mature, they produce a pungent, off-putting odor that is reminiscent of rotting flesh or dung. This smell may disgust people, but it attracts insects, particularly flies. Flies and other insects eat the slimy material at the tips of stinkhorns and carry spores in this slime to new locations as they move around in the environment. In many ways, this process is comparable to the distribution of pollen by bees (but of course without the more appealing scents associated with most flowers).
Answer:
The mouse and shrew bones were common to all three owls so they were not useful in identifying environments. The gopher bones were unique to the great grey owl of Alaska. Gophers are rodents that are successful in areas with soft soil and lots of grass, so the gopher and this owl would be found in the meadows and evergreen forests of Alaska. The bat was unique to the barking owl of Australia. The bat would be found in woodland habitats where there are many trees the bat can hang from. The gull bones were unique to the short-eared owl of Cuba. Gulls are wetland birds, so the gull and this owl would be found in marshes and coastal areas.
