Answer:

The most appropriate answer would be D) crossing over of homologous chromosomes during meiosis.

Crossing over is the event that takes place during the pachytene stage of prophase 1 of meiosis 1.

During this event, genetic material is exchanged between the non-sister chromatids of the homologous chromosomes.

The homologous chromosomes assemble near each other in a synapsis. The tetrad or bivalent is formed during this period.

The point of contact where the actual exchange of genetic material takes place is termed as chiasma.

Crossing over results in new combination of genes different from either parent.

The ovarian cycle describes the monthly events of a post-pubescent ovary that causes a small number of primary follicles to grow
Damm [24]

Answer:

The ovarian cycle regulates endocrine tissue preparation, and egg release in female body.  

The first half of the ovarian cycle as the follicular process. Slowly growing rates of FSH and LH are causing follicle development on the ovary surface. This cycle makes the egg primed for ovulation. As the follicles develop they start releasing estrogens and low progesterone levels. Progesterone locks the endometrium in order to help ensure pregnancy. It takes about seven days to travel ovum through the Fallopian tube and to get implanted in uterus. There are 30-60 cells at this point of evolution, called the morula. If there is no pregnancy implantation the lining would be sloughed off. estrogen levels increase after around 5 days, and the menstrual cycle enters the proliferative process. The endometrium starts to regrow, replacing the weakening blood vessels and glands at the end of the last cycle.

Bacteria with the ability to break down certain types of plastic are placed with a colony of E. coli bacteria that lack this abi
zloy xaker [14]

The answer is C

Plasmids are conferred through horizontal gene transfer in bacteria.  The ‘male’ bacteria develops a structure called pili that then attaches to the ‘female’ bacteria. It then transfers it’s replicated plasmid to the ‘female’ bacteria in a process called conjugation. This bacteria will hence have desirable traits that are coded for by the transferred genetic material ,such as antibiotic resistance, after a process called recombination.

What is the current classification of bacteria formerly termed members of the Bethesda-Ballerup group? g
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

This group is made up bacteria that utilizes of citrate and are slow lactose-fermenting. They belong to the family Enterobacteriaceae which share some particular feature with the lactose-fermenting citrobacters.

Thus, they have now been included in the genus Citrobacter with no regards to how fast or slower their lactose fermentation is.

Mariana [72]

Answer:

C) Bacteria congregated in these areas because these areas had the most oxygen being released.

Explanation:

Below is the full question:

Theodor W. Engelmann illuminated a filament of algae with light that passed through a prism, thus exposing different segments of algae to different wavelengths of light. He added aerobic bacteria and then noted in which areas the bacteria congregated. He noted that the largest groups were found in the areas illuminated by the red and blue light.

What did Engelmann conclude about the congregation of bacteria in the red and blue areas?

A) Bacteria released excess carbon dioxide in these areas.

B) Bacteria congregated in these areas due to an increase in the temperature of the red and blue light.

C) Bacteria congregated in these areas because these areas had the most oxygen being released.

D) Bacteria are attracted to red and blue light and thus these wavelengths are more reactive than other wavelengths.

E) Bacteria congregated in these areas due to an increase in the temperature caused by an increase in photosynthesis.

The most efficient region of white light for photosynthesis has been found to be the blue and red region of the white light. Hence, these two regions must have had the most oxygen being released because they are the regions with the highest rates of photosynthesis.

<em>Aerobic bacteria thrived better in the regions illuminated by red and blue light because these regions had the highest oxygen production as a result of having the highest rates of photosynthesis.</em>

<em>The correct option is C.</em>

A sorting device that is useful in classifying by observation is a _____. dichotomy wedge taxon key
baherus [9]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

Key

A sorting device that is useful in classifying by observation is a <u>key</u>.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>Classification key or taxonomic key is a device that is used by scientists to identify unknown organisms. </u></em>
  • They are constructed so that the user gets a series of choices about the characteristics of the unknown organisms.Thus, by making the correct choice at each step, one is led to the identity of the specimen.
  • Therefore<u><em>, keys can be used to identify a living organism or determine which group it belongs to</em></u> by answering questions on the key about characteristics of living things.
