It is best to use regular light microscopes to observe that.

For simple structures, onion cells doesn't require a very large magnification. Magnifications for such as 100X or 150X is already enough to determine the different structures of onion cells such as cell walls or cytoplasm.

It is not very suitable to use a electron microscope especially as high school or college students, as electronic microscopes can be really expensive, usually only top universities have them. Also, it is quite complicated to control the microscope comparing to the common light microscope that we can easily find in many school laboratories. They're easy to function and they're a lot cheaper.

So, it's best advised to use a light microscope, unless if you're really into studying very detailed structures and you're experienced in doing these sorts of things, then you should use a electron microscope.

Iteru [2.4K]

Ingestion of foreign substances by macrophages and yeast cells by an amoeba is known as <u>Phagocytosis</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Phagocytosis that is the name given to the process of ingestion of foreign particles by macrophages. In human body the white blood cells does this function. Macrophages is found in all the tissues. Any foreign particle entering the body is engulfed by this process hence protecting the organisms.

Once a bacteria enters the body it is at once detected and recognised as the foreign particle. Then it is attached to the phagocyte. Then it is engulfed into a vesicle called phagosome. Then this is killed by the process of phagocytosis.

Coat color in a dog breed is determined by incomplete dominance where three colors are produced (Brown, tan and white), and the

8_murik_8 [283]

Genotypes of the dog color are:

BB dominant homozygous-brown phenotype

bb recessive homozygous-white phenotype

Bb heterozygous-tan phenotype

Cross between brown and pan dog would be:

P: BB x Bb

F1: BB Bb BB Bb

The ratio would be 1:1 (brown dog:pan dog).

The post mortem interval of a body enclosed in a plastic bag could be best estimated by the insects found in the body, in that case forensic science need to listen to what those little creatures have to say, insects could tell if the body has been moved from the crime scene, how long it´s been in an specific place, and how long it´s been since death until found, every group of insects can tell something different, from worms, arachnids to flyes, each one of them has a time to get into the body, so it could tell you for how long it´s been dead.
