Answer: Option B
Explanation: The thin layer that forms the outer covering of the cell is known as the cell membrane. It is composed of the lipid bilayer which as embedded proteins.
This membrane is selectively permeable which means it allows only specific molecules to pass through them.
The main function of cell membrane is to protect the cell from the outer environment and by the invasion of harmful bacteria and viruses.

Explanation:
According to dispersive model of DNA replication,DNA molecules are hybrids of parental and daughter DNA;In this model each individual strand is a combination of original and new DNA
Meselson and Stahl did an experiment on DNA replication using E.coli bacteria
- E.coli was grown in a medium containing heavy isotope of nitrogen,bacteria took up the nitrogen and used to synthesize new biological molecules,including DNA
- It was grown for many generations,the nitrogenous bases of the bacteria's DNA were all labelled with heavy nitrogen
- Bacteria were then switched to light nitrogen isotope and allowed to grow for several generations
- They then measured the density of the DNA using density gradient centrifugation
- This method separates molecules such as DNA into bands by spinning them at high speeds in the presence of another molecule, such as cesium chloride
- Each DNA produced two DNA molecules each with one new strand and one old strand called semi conservative replication(half of the parental DNA conserved in daughter DNA)
- Each DNA strand act as a template for synthesis of new strand
- Hence,dispersive model of DNA was eliminated and semi-conservative model of DNA replication was proved by the above experiment
Answer:
Direct observation of evolutionary change: creation of drug-resistant bacteria.
Fossil record: discovery of transitional forms of animals, discovery of shells of extinct organisms
Homology: similarities in mammalian forelimbs, identical genetic code in fireflies and tobacco plants, vestigial pelvis in right whales
Biogeography: resemblance of endangered island species to neighboring mainland species,
Chicken, a lean protein, can be prepared in many healthy ways.
