Sometimes even the most careful food preparation can lead to tragedy. For many generations, humans have made sausages, but on oc

casion the sausages have become contaminated with Clostridium botulinum, and individuals have developed a deadly disease known as botulism (botulus = “sausage”). How do you think sausage becomes contaminated, and what characteristics of C. botulinum make it attracted to sausage?

<em>Clostridium botulinum</em> gets into food such as sausages through spores which grow on the humid environment of sausages.

<h3>What is food contamination?</h3>

Food contamination may be due to chemicals or microorganisms.

The microorganism <em>Clostridium botulinum</em><em> </em>caused botulism.

In garden peas, long stems are dominant to short stems, and yellow seeds are dominants to green seeds, too long/yellow pea plant
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

A) 300

B) 3:1

C) 9 long yellow : 3 long green : 3 short yellow : 1 short green

Explanation:

Long stems (L_) are dominant to short stems (ll)

Yellow seeds (Y_) are dominant to green seeds (yy)

We interbred pea plants with long stems and yellow seeds (L_Y_), but they had a short green parent (llyy) that could have only produced <em>ly</em> gametes, so our plants are heterozygous <em>LlYy</em>.

C) We interbred them LlYy x LlYy. If the two genes are unlinked, this is a typical dihybrid cross and from Mendel's law of independent assortment we know that the offspring will have the following phenotypic ratios:

  • 9/16 L_Y_ (Long, yellow)
  • 3/16 L_yy (Long, green)
  • 3/16 llY_ (short, yellow)
  • 1/16 llyy (short, green)

A) 3/16 × 1600 = 300 plants will be long and green.

B)

9/16 + 3/16 = 12/16= 3/4 plants will be yellow;

3/16 + 1/16 = 4/16= 1/4 plants will be green.

The ratio will be 3 yellow : 1 green

Vesna [10]
The answer is 'Cambrian' explosion. This took place approximately 541 million years ago. 'Explosion' refers to the evolution of a large range of new major animal phyla. Scientists know this by the large number of diverse fossils from this period. Prior to this period, organisms were single-celled, but over the Cambrian Explosion, lasting about 80 million years, life forms diversified rapidly to resemble the life forms existing today.
