You are not supposed to begin the observation of specimens with oil immersion lens.

The microscope is an instrument used in science laboratories to study specimen that cannot be seen with the naked eyes.

The specimen for viewing through a microscope are usually prepared as thin slices or sections.

Among the various parts of the microscope are the x10, x40, and x 100 objective lens.

The x100 objective lens is known as the oil immersion lens because oil is added while using the lens to reduce the amount of light refraction thereby allowing more light to pass through the narrow diameter of the high power objective lens.

The x10 objective which is of lower power, should be used to focus the specimen while the higher power objective which is the x100 oil immersion used for closer observation.

Therefore, you are not supposed to begin the observation of specimens with oil immersion lens.

Over time plants and animals have developed defenses against being eaten. What are some examples of these defense mechanisms?

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

The thorns on a rose bush.

The white coat of a snowshoe hare.

The speed of a gazelle.

Explanation:

Defense mechanisms are the adaptations and modifications in a living organism to counterattack or provide a defense in response. Some modification in the plant and the animals helps them to provide a counterattack to save themselves from the attack. The defensive function of the thorns in the roses helps them from being eaten or crushed. Snowshoe hares have furry feet that are large. The white fur helps them to camouflage during winter in the snow and be safe from the predators. Gazelle is an antelope found in South Africa that is able to make long jumps and make sharp turns while running and saving itself from the predators.

The use of restriction enzymes and electrophoresis to generate a map of the DNA molecule is known as

Lerok [7]

The use of restriction enzymes and electrophoresis to generate a map of the DNA molecule is known as RESTRICTION MAPPING. This technique is used to map an unknown fragment of DNA.

Restriction enzymes are enzymes that cut a DNA fragment at specific nucleotides sites, thereby generally smaller fragments of DNA.

Restriction mapping is a strategy used to map unknown fragments of DNA by digesting them into smaller fragments and then identifying the specific sites of the DNA breakpoints.

Restriction mapping can then be used to create a diagram of fragments of DNA marked with specific sites where they are cut by specific restriction enzymes.
