In the second step the gravel and sand sink to the bottom.

Explanation:

There are various techniques used for cleaning the water they are coagulation, sedimentation, filtration and disinfection.

Coagulation:

The process in which chemicals are added to water and the positive charge of the chemicals neutralizes the negative charge of dirt and other particles in water.

Sedimentation:

During this process the tiny mineral particles settle at the bottom of the water supply. This process of settling is known as sedimentation.

Filtration:

When the tiny particles has settled to the bottom of the water supply, the clear water will pass through the filters of varying compositions and pore sizes to remove the dissolved particles like dust, bacteria, viruses and chemicals.

Disinfection:

After filtration process a disinfectant like chlorine, chloromine are added to kill any remaining bacteria and viruses. The quality of water is tested and they are piped to all homes.

Explanation:

(A) Only eukaryotes have a nucleus.

(B) Both replicate the DNA before performing cell division, so each cell keeps a copy.

(C)  This structural feature is called centromere in eukaryotes and in bacteria this role is played by the origin of replication.

(D) Centromeres are eukaryotes exclusive.

(E) Only bacteria have a replication origin.

Plants that evolved vascular tissue are more advanced than plants without vascular tissue. Most importantly, possession of vascu
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

The evolution of vascular tissues in plants from non-vascular plants was an adaptive feature to survive in the terrestrial environment.  The group of plants in which vascular tissues evolved and developed is the Pteridophytes which contained stellar organization of the vascular bundles.

The pteridophytes exhibited xylem and phloem which allows the rapid uptake of the water and nutrients from the soil which allowed the growth of the plant and since plants got enough water and nutrients from the soil, they adapted to grow tall so that they can maximize the output of photosynthesis in bright sunshine.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.

exis [7]

Answer:

D. some components of the cycle are used as building blocks for certain anabolic pathways

Explanation:

Kreb's cycle starts when pyruvate enters the cycle in the form of acetyl CoA. The cycle completely breakdown acetyl CoA into CO2 and H2O. The released energy is stored in the form of NADH and FADH2 which enter oxidative phosphorylation to drive ATP synthesis. Kreb's cycle is an amphibolic pathway as it is involved in both catabolic and anabolic processes.

Some of the intermediates of Kreb's cycle serve as precursors for other anabolic pathways. For example, alpha-Ketoglutarate and oxaloacetate from Kreb's cycle enter the anabolic processes of synthesis of amino acids aspartate and glutamate respectively. Succinyl CoA from Kreb's cycle serves as one of the intermediates for the synthesis of porphyrin rings present in "heme" groups. The heme group is a structural and functional part of hemoglobin and myoglobin proteins.

Black coat color in horses is conferred by the presence of a dominant B allele. Chestnut horses are genotype bb. A population of
AysviL [449]

Answer:

Frequency of B allele is 0.6681

Explanation:

If p represents the frequency of dominant allele and q represents the frequency of  recessive allele, according to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium:

p + q = 1

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where p² = frequency of homozygous dominant genotype

q² = frequency of homozygous recessive genotype

2pq = frequency of heterozygous genotype

Given that number of recessive chestnut horse = 28

Total horses = 226 + 28 = 254

frequency of b² genotype = 28/254 = 0.1102

frequency of recessive b allele = √0.1102 = 0.3319

So, frequency of B allele =

1 - 0.3319 = 0.6681

Hence frequency of B allele is 0.6681
