Light is one of the fastest growing pollutants for the natural environment which is created by humans. The impact of light on animals is negative which are active during day, crepuscular or nocturnal species also have influence in their general behavior. The DNA of the living organisms is encoded according to the Earth’s natural rhythm of day and night. Scientific evidences have shown negative as well as deadly effect on plants, insects, birds, mammals etc. The plant and animal physiology is negatively impacted by the artificial light and specially the nocturnal species by altering the predator-prey relationship, migratory pattern of birds and animals is affected and the humans also have serious health effects. Light pollution basically interferes with natural biological activities of plants and animals according to the biological clock.

When a single cell of E. coli reproduces, it first duplicates its DNA. Next, the cell elongates as each copy of DNA is pulled to

Advocard [28]

The options are:

A. They are genetically different from the parent because they are produced by sexual reproduction.

B. They are genetically identical to the parent because they are produced by sexual reproduction.

C. They are genetically identical to the parent because they are produced by asexual reproduction.

D. They are genetically different from the parent because they are produced by asexual reproduction.

Answer:

The correct answer is- C. They are genetically identical to the parent because they are produced by asexual reproduction.

Explanation:

E. coli reproduces through binary fission in which the genetic material of cell of E. coli first duplicates and then the cell elongates and each of the copies of their genetic material is moved to opposite poles.

After this, the cell gets divided into two equal daughter cells. As binary fission is an asexual reproduction so there is no mixing or combination of genetic material from other E.coli therefore the resultant daughter cells are identical to the parent cell.

Therefore the correct answer is option c.

Sauron [17]

A pedigree shows the genotypes of the family members
in autosomal recessive disorders, the diseased genes are inherited from the parents. For the person to get the disease both diseased genes should be there in the genotype as its a recessive disorder.
the dominant gene - H
recessive gene - h
for a person to get a disease, genotype should be hh, as its autosomal recessive. If the person is normal he/ she could have the genotype HH or could be Hh and thats called a carrier.
the offspring will receive one gene from the mother and one from the father
