Answer:
c. bivalents.
Explanation:
In Meiosis a bivalents are formed during the first stage of meiosis which is the prophase. The bivalent consist of a paired chromosome and four chromatids i.e two chromosomes in a tetrad. one chromosome comes from each parent.
In mitosis, a bivalent is not formed. There is the presence of chromatids, homologs, centromeres and spindles during mitosis and meiosis.
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
a) Genes b and c are farthest apart.
Explanation:
Transformation occurs when a competent bacteria cell takes up genetic material from the environment. Usually a donor cell donates its gene fragment  which is then incorporated into the chromosome or plasmid of recipient bacterial cell. 
Cotransformation occurs when two genes are taken up together by the recipient. The closer the genes lie to each other, more are the chances of them being taken up together. Contransformation frequency will be higher if two genes are close to each other. Here, cotransformation frequencies between three genes are given. Amongst them, the lowest frequency is 0.0064% which is present between gene b and c. Hence, gene b and c are the farthest apart. 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
a. Let us consider that L is responsible for late and l is responsible for early. From the mentioned data, it can be concluded that allele L or late is dominant over early. By crossing plants 1 and 4 we get the expected ratio of 3: 1, which shows that it follows Mendel's law of dominant.  
b. The genotype of all the four plants are:  
1st plant = Ll
2nd plant = ll
3rd plant = LL
4th plant = Ll
c. If the plant 1 is self-fertilized then the expected progeny will be 3 (late): 1 (early).  
In case if the 2nd plant is self-fertilized, the expected progeny will be only early.  
In case if the 3rd plant is self-fertilized, the expected progeny will be only late.  
In case if the 4th plant is self-fertilized, the expected progeny will be 3 (late): 1 (early).  
 
        
             
        
        
        
Mutation can cause instant adaptation while natural selection is the process by which adaptation occurs over a series of generations.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Biological augmentation, bioremediation , or reforestation are names for the method.
