If the alcohol concentration in PEA agar was increased, it would inhibit both Gram - and Gram + bacteria by breaking down membrane absorbency barrier, tolerating influx of substances that are generally blocked and leakage of cellular potassium. High alcohol concentrations would lead to disruption or halting of DNA synthesis in both Gram + and Gram - bacteria
The given scenario illustrates An emergent property.
<u>Explanation:</u>
A property that explains about the functioning of any system as a whole is an emergent property. The units of that individual system will not work to give the functionality of the entire system. Fallacy of division occurs when there is a failure in the realization of this emergent property.
For instance let us take an ant colony. Ant as a single organism will not be able to attain certain works. While when they join to form a colony they together can accomplish complex and tedious tasks. Hence, in human body also cells of heart acts as an example of an emergent property as they together can accomplish the function.
Answer:
A. Mendel observed green and yellow pea pods in a 3:1 ratio because the F1 generation was heterozygous.
Explanation:
The two true breeding plants in the parental population were homozygous (that is what true breeding means). Therefore, their cross would lead to all heterozygous offspring (see attached punnet square). Green is the dominant characteristic, so all F1 plants had a green phenotype, but Gg genotype.
The F1 cross would therefore be Gg x Gg. See attached punnet square.
The genotypes in the F2 generation are 1 GG: 2 Gg: 1 gg 1
Therefore, the phenotypic ratio is 3 green pea pods (Gg or GG): 1 yellow (gg)
If it displays the dominant genotype, we can assume that this plant would have a heterozygous (hybrid) genotype, i.e.
With a purebred recessive plant, the geneotypes would be 50% Bb and 50% bb.
With a purebred dominant plant, the genetpyes would be 50% BB and 50% Bb.
With a <span>heterozygous (hybrid) plant, the genotypes would be 25% BB, 50% Bb and 25% bb.</span>
Answer:
According to the diagram, what is occurring in step 7 is cytokinesis, with the separation of two daughter cells, following cell division.
Explanation:
Cytokinesis is a process that occurs at the end of mitosis or meiosis, being the final step of cell division. This mechanism allows the <u>separation of the two daughter cells</u>, with equal distribution of cytoplasm and formation of cell membrane, differentiating into two independent cells.
In the diagram it can be observed (step 7) that after the division process —in yellow— two arrows pointing to two cells are evident, which implies the process of cytokinesis.
Prior to the cytokinesis process, karyokinesis occurs, which is the separation of nuclei and formation of the nuclear membrane.
In animal cells, karyocinesis occurs by the effect of a ring of actin and myosin that helps to force the separation. In the plant cell, the fragmoplast is formed, a septum that induces the separation of the daughter cells.
The other options are not correct because:
- <u><em>Cell growth</em></u><em> occurs in G1 phase.</em>
- <u><em>Cell preparation</em></u><em> occurs in interphase.</em>
- <u><em>DNA replication</em></u><em> occurs in S phase.</em>
- <u><em>Mitosis</em></u><em> is represented in yellow, and involves 4 phases.</em>
