The correct answer is option B. The scientists were studying if the mud snails can reproduce both sexually and asexually. The characteristics in the study included parameters such as the mating season, number of offspring, effect of environmental stress conditions and lack of mates. Out of all the parameters being studied can affect asexual reproduction in the mud snail but lack or presence of mates is a parameter required to be studied to determine the mode of reproduction i.e. sexual or asexual because need for mates or mate dependent reproduction occurs in case of sexual reproduction.
Answer & Explanation:
The term for the process of gathering information through images taken at a distance would be remote sensing.
This is because the seven-sugar intermediate is synthesized by sugar addition to cytosolic-facing dolichol phosphate. The intermediate is flipped from the cytosol face of the ER membrane to the the luminal face. Additionally, the sugar additions then occur within the lumen of the ER. The short forms of the intermediate are on the wrong side of the membrane to add to nascent polypeptides within the ER lumen. Incomplete adductants within the ER lumen are located appropriately to N-glycosylate nascent polypeptide.
It will be Control. Part of the experiment used to show that the results of an experiment is really due to the conditions being tested.
