Coral reefs are part of the marine and oceanic ecosystem that are hard and made up of calcium carbonate. Planulae is not the major structure of coral reefs.

<h3>What are coral reefs and Planulae?</h3>

Coral reefs are the hard calcium structures that are of three major types barrier, fringing and atoll.  They feed on the planktons and algae that are the small structures inhabiting them.

Planulae is a freely swimming larvae of the jellyfish and other species of Ctenophores. They are solid, flat and have cilia over their body.

Therefore, option a. Planulae is not a structure or type of coral reef.

tall heterozygous pea plants were crossed and the resulting seeds grown. Out of 360 plants, 270 were tall and 90 dwarf. What des
lozanna [386]

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A. All 270 tall plants were heterozygous

B. All 270 tall plants were homzygous.

C. Only 90 plants were homzygous.

D. All dwarf plants were homzygous.

The answer is D.

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for height in pea plants. The allele for tallness (T) is dominant over that of dwarfness (t). This means that a dwarf plant can only be homzygous recessive (tt) while a tall plant can either be homzygous (TT) or heterozygous (Tt).

According to the question, two tall heterozygous pea plants were crossed i.e. Tt × Tt. Based on this cross, a phenotypic ratio of 3:1 is expected, which is in accordance with the 270 tall plants and 90 dwarf plants (360 total) that was obtained in the cross. Since dwarfism in pea plants is a recessive trait, this means that all the dwarf plants produced in this cross (90) were homzygous (tt).

You test a strain of bacteria, Strain X with an antibiotic and all of the bacteria are killed. Overnight there is an accident
Kaylis [27]

Answer: C. When they mixed, some of the bacteria from strain X obtained plasmids from strain Y, these plasmids gave them DNA that allowed  them to resist the antibiotic.

Explanation:

Conjugation is a mode of sexual reproduction used by some strains of bacteria to reproduce. In this the bacteria transfers the genetic material to another bacteria through direct contact. In this one bacteria act as a donor and another one act as a recipient.

The strain X which was affected by the antibiotic might have mixed with the strain Y, as a result of this strain X being not resistant with the antibiotic died. But when this bacterial strain got mixed with the strain Y, which is antibiotic resistant. The strain X might received the antibiotic resistant property from strain Y through sexual reproduction by the mode of conjugation. In this plasmid DNA transfer from strain Y to strain X, helped strain X to develop antibiotic resistance, and further helped strain X to survive.
