Six fingered offspring are formed from normal fingered parents . why?
Alex777 [14]
<span>Polydactyly in its most common form, is an autosomal dominant mutation. Let's represent the mutation as P and the normal state as +. Thus, if both parents are heterozygous (P+), both would have the mutation (and thus have six fingered). They have 3/4 chances of having a child with the extra digit, 1/4 normal. </span>

Show the following as a food chain: omnivore, autotroph, herbivore
Thepotemich [5.8K]

omnivore⇒herbivore⇒autotroph

this is because an autotroph makes its own food (photosynthesis) so it doesn't have the need to eat other organisms. Herbivores eat only plans (remember this with the word herb is a type of plant) and an omnivore will eat either meat or plants so it can eat either of the things below it.

A student inoculates a gelatin tube and places it at 37C for the week. When he comes back he takes the tube out of the incubator
ycow [4]
<h2>Gelatin </h2>

Explanation:

Gelatin is a differential medium which tests the ability of an organism to produce an exoenzyme, called gelatinase (this enzyme hydrolyzes gelatin)

When gelatin is at a temperature below 32°C (or within a few degrees thereof), it is a semisolid material and at temperatures above 32°C, it is a viscous liquid

When gelatin is broken down, it can no longer solidify and if an organism can break down gelatin, the areas where the organism has grown will remain liquid even if the gelatin is refrigerated

No the conclusion by student is not right because the tube must be runny after incubation followed by refrigeration to be considered gelatinase positive
