A very useful term to describe Bacteria that can't synthesize their own food energy is called a Heterotroph. A Heterotroph relies on other organisms for nutrition, whether plant or animals. There are two types of Heterotrophs: <em><u>Photoheterotroph</u> and <u>Chemoheterotroph.</u></em><em><u /></em><u /> Photoheterotrophs use light for energy,but can't use carbon dioxide as their carbon source. They get their carbon from compounds such as carbohydrates, fatty acids, and alcohol. Chemoheterotrophs get thteir energy by oxidation of preformed organic compounds such as animals, fungi, bacteria and almost all pathogens.

Think and discuss: Suppose there are two homologous chromosomes. Each chromosome contains a single mutant allele in different pa

Effectus [21]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

When the crossing over results in both mutant alleles on one chromosome and the other chromosome will be mutation free.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

During the meiosis chromosomes are present in homologous form in a pair.

They exchange their genetic material with each other. This exchange is random and usually genetic material on the ends/telomere changes with the homologous chromosome.

In given condition the exchange is in such manner that the mutant allel of one chromosome shifts to other during crossing over. While other chromosome also contains its own mutant allele and does not exchange it during crossing over.

Devise a method for determining the molecular weight of the fragment you amplified and describe that method below. make sure to

11111nata11111 [884]

The method used here is agarose gel elecrtrophoresis in which DNA ladder is used which is a set of standard used to determine the size of DNA used .The DNA ladder is put adjacent to the DNA fragments to be visualized Suppose if the ladder shows 300 basepair so the DNA adjacent to this number will be of this size.These are the set standards used to determine the size of DNA or RNA. For a range we can take 2% of agrarose to run DNA fragments upto 500 Basepair. Most of the amplified DNA falls into this category size.

What does the Thermosphere represent.

inna [77]

I’m pretty sure this is right
The thermosphere is the layer in the Earths atmosphere directly above the mesosphere and below the exosphere. Within the layer of atmosphere, ultraviolet radiation causes photoionization of molecules creating ions the thermosphere continues the larger part of the Ionosphere.

The event that leads from the haploid stage to the diploid stage in alternation of generations is ________.

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Fertilization

Explanation:

Fertilization may be defined as the process of formation of zygote by the fusion of male and female gamete. Fertilization is an important event of the sexual reproduction.

The haploid stage (gametes) that fuse together and forms the diploid stage (zygote) in alternation of generation. The zygote is the individual offspring of the result of fertilization.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).
