The correct answer is D Vitamin D. The lack of this vitamin alters bone maturation and development.
Answer:
E. lack peptidoglycan, are the smallest free-living organisms AND have sterols in their membranes.
Explanation:
Mycoplasmas are also called pleuropneumonia-like organisms (PPLO) are the smallest free-living, prokaryotic organisms. They do not have a cell wall and is bounded by a plasma membrane which contains sterol.
Since cell wall is absent in them, they lack peptidoglycan. These are present in animals, plants, insects, soil and sewage. They grow better in the aerobic environment but can also live as facultative anaerobes.
Mycoplasma cause infection, affects cell metabolism, gene expression.
Answer:
RNA was the genetic material
Explanation:
If avary, Macleod, and McCarty would have seen that only RNAse treatment of the heat-killed bacteria prevented the transformation of genetic virulence than might have concluded that RNA is the genetic material as transformation does not occur because the RNAase degraded the RNA.
But if the genetic material is DNA then RNAase will not work because RNAase can not degrade DNA and then DNA will pass from virulent heat killed strain to nonvirulent strain and will cause transformation.
a. Organism C
b. Organism D
c. Organism A
d. Organism B
Answer: The body maintains homeostasis by positive and negative feedback mechanism.
Explanation:
The body maintains the internal temperature and metabolism with respect to change in environment.
In case the temperature outside is very cold and the body starts shivering by the movement of skeletal muscles, this is done to maintain the temperature inside body. This is positive feedback.
When the temperature inside the body is maintained, then body stops shivering. This is negative feedback.
This is how the body maintains homeostasis.
