Answer: The correct answer to the question bus option B

DISSIMILATORY NITROGEN REDUCTION .

Explanation: When we talk about Dissimilaritory nitrogen reduction we simply mean an alternate form of respiration which occurs in the anoxic grown bacteria example purple photosynthetic bacteria.

Dissimilaritory nitrogen reduction is actually a type of denitrification which entails the denitrifying bacteria using nitrates or nitrites as electron acceptor and then reduce them to nitrogen gas. A series of intermediates are formed in this process of which Nitrous oxide is one of them, Nitrous oxide is a green house gas.

However,the main difference we can see between assimilatory and dissimilatory nitrogen reduction is that in the assimilatory pathway of nitrate reduction, ammonia will be formed which is utilized for the biosynthesis as a source of nitrogen. While in dissimilatory pathway, ammonia formation do not take place.

sergij07 [2.7K]

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.
