If i wanted to look at a onion cell what type of microscope would be best to use

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.

Part a which of these phases encompasses all of the stages of mitosis but no other events?

Tju [1.3M]

The appropriate response is Mitosis. Amid mitosis, the chromosomes, which have just copied, consolidate and append to shaft filaments that draw one duplicate of every chromosome to inverse sides of the cell. The outcome is two hereditarily indistinguishable little girl cores. Whatever is left of the cell may then keep on dividing by cytokinesis to deliver two little girl cells.

Autotrophs that utilize light as their energy source are

k0ka [10]

The correct answer is - phototrophs.

Some of the autotrophs are able to convert the electromagnetic energy from the sunlight into chemical energy in the form of reduced carbon (C). The autotrophs that are able to perform this are called phototrophs. The green plants and the algae are the most prominent members of the phototroph autotrophs.

In essence, the autotrophs are producers, meaning that they are able to produce their own food. The phototrophs are the part of the autotrophs that are able to use the sunlight to produce small amounts of ATP as well as the energy carrier NADHP. By producing the ATP and the NADHP the phototrophs manage to produce glucose, or rather sugars, which are actually their food.

n Drosophila melanogaster, forked bristles are caused by an allele (Xf) that is X linked and recessive to an allele for normal b

makkiz [27]

Answer:

Proportion of the F2 male with red eyes and forked bristle will be 1/4

Explanation:

forked bristles are caused by an allele (Xf) that is X linked and recessive to an allele for normal bristles (X+).

Brown eyes are caused by an allele (b) that is autosomal and recessive to an allele for red eyes (b+)

A female fly that is homozygous for normal bristles and red eyes mates with a male fly that has forked bristles and brown eyes

X+X+b+b+ x Xfbb

the F1 gives 1/2X+Xf 1/2b+b

1/2X+Y 1/2b+b

intercross of F1

Proportion of the F2 male with red eyes and forked bristle will be

forked bristle= Xfy = 1/2 and for red eyes 2/4= 1/2 = 1/2x1/2 =1/4
