Answer:

New moon and Full moon

Explanation:

The phase of the moon refers to the time when the Moon appears to be in a particular shape relative to the position of earth and sun. The different stages of the moon are such as-

It starts initially with the new moon through sequential events which are crescent (waxing), 1st quarter, gibbous (waxing), and further continue with the full moon, gibbous(waning) and last quarter and the cycle repeats again with the new moon.

In the case of a new moon, the moon is not visible because of the exposure of the unlit half of the moon. It takes place when the moon comes in between the Sun and the earth. It is usually marked by the occurrence of a solar eclipse.

The full moon phase refers to the fully exposed, lit part of the moon. It takes place when the moon is oriented towards the opposite end of the earth from the Sun and is often marked by the occurrence of a lunar eclipse.

Thus, the phases of the moon that are directly opposite to one other in terms of both appearance and position are the full moon and the new moon.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - nitrficiation, denitrification, nitrogen fixation, and decomposition.

Explanation:

Thiobacillus denitrification is a facultative, obligate chemolithoautotrophic anaerobic bacterium that is well known for its ability to couple the oxidation of inorganic sulfur-based compounds to denitrification.

The name of the bacterium is derived from its function or the metabolic ability as it performs denitrification on thio (sulfur) based inorganic compounds by the process of oxidation. This process helps in bioremediate groundwater by these processes of nitrogen fixation by oxidation of inorganic compounds of sulfur.

Thus, the correct answer is - nitrification, denitrification, nitrogen fixation, and decomposition.

9. Look closely at the illustration above. a. What process is occurring? b. What is being made? c. How can you tell?
mars1129 [50]
The answers are:

A. DNA replication in the nucleus of a cell
B. From one helix of DNA in a replication process, we get two: The DNA is a double helix and it consists of two strands of specifically connected amino-acids. When the time for replication comes, a set of enzymes unwind the two strands and leave them as a base for additional two strands attaching to them - the green line is an example of that. The free nucleotides - adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine are left open and the enzyme called DNA-polymerase helps to produce a new strand on the template of the old parental one (one of the blue ones in the picture) 
C. By the location on the smaller picture - replication takes place in the nucleus. And the most important hint are the letters A - adenine, G - guanine, T- thymine, and C-cytosine. A connects with T, and G connects with C.

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

They do not belong to the same population

These two similar birds do not belong to the same population because a population is made up of groups of similar organisms of the same species that occupy the same geographical region including the capability to interbreed. This two birds despite the similar markings, they do not have the capability to interbreed thus they are not of the same population.
