Who provided experimental evidence to eupport the theory of origin of life from inanimate matter? |
|
Answer» The evidence for the origin of life from INANIMATE matter, was provided through an experiment, conducted in 1953, by Stanley L. Miller and Harold C. Urey. In experiment, they ASSEMBLED an ATMOSPHERE containing molecules like ammonia, methane and hydrogen sulphide, but no oxygen, over water. This was similar to atmosphere that thought to exist on early earth . This was maintained at a temperature just below 100°C and sparks were passed through the mixture of gases to SIMULATE LIGHTNING. At the end of a week, 15% of the carbon from methane, had been converted to simple compounds of carbon including amino acids which make up protein molecules and support the life in basic form. Thus, amply suggesting that life arose afresh on earth . |

Why drosophila is known as cinderlla of genetics |
|
Answer» In ADDITION, many genetic studies and experiments have been conducted on what is known as the “Cinderella” of genetics – Drosophilla Melanogaster (Fruit FLY). ... Drosophila has been used as model organism right from the beginning of the 20th century, in the very EARLY years of the development of the field of genetics. There are over 2,500 species of Drosophila and, of these, D. melanogaster is the one that has been extensively exploited for research. Drosophila is one of the most suitable model systems for genetic work due to its short life cycle of about 10 to 11 days at 22 degree C, and high reproductive POTENTIAL. It produces a large number of PROGENY, which is required for statistical analysis of the results. |

What are the major division of kingdom plantae , write 2 features of each with the example of plants in each, what are the basic criteria to divide kingdom plantae into the division |
|
Answer» Answer: Genral characteristic They are eukaryotic and multicellular Their cells have cellulose walls Majority have transport system. They have photosynthesis hence autotrophic. Reproduction is both asexual and sexual They show alternation of generation This kingdom is divided into three divisions namely Bryophyta, Pteridophyta and Spermatphyta. 1. DIVISION Bryophyta These include mosses and liverworts. General characteristic They are thalloids as in liverworts or differentiated into simple-leaf like and stemlike structures They lack vascular transport system They contain chlorophyll hence photosynthetic. They have developed rhizoids for anchoring and absorbing water together with dissolved mineral salts. Show alternations of generations Male gametes are produced by antheridia and female gametes by archegonia. Fertilisation depends on availability of water. They are terrestrial growing on dump substratum eg rocks, walls and marshes 2. Division Pteridophyta These include the ferns and horsetails. They show a greater variety and a greater ability than bryophyte. General characteristics They have roots, stems and leaves but no flowers Leaves are compound with leaflets known as pinna. They posses clearly defined vascular system( Having xylem and Phloem) They show alternation of generations Sexual reproduction They have spirongira Spermatophyta 3. Division Spermatophyta This division comprises all the seed bearing plants. They are familiar green plants which produce seeds through flowers or cones. General characteristics The plant has roots, stems, leaves and seed bearing structures They produce seeds They have chlorophyll hence photosynthetic They have vascular tissue is highly developed with xylem tissue consisting of both xylem tissue and tracheids. The division SPERMATOPHYTE consists of two main subdivisions: Gymnospermatophyta Angiospermatophyta. Gymnospermatophyta Characteristics They bear cones of two TYPES, male and female After fertilization seeds are not enclosed in a fruit wall. They show some xerophytic characteristics such as rolled leaves, needle-SHAPED leaves, sunken stomata and thick waxy leaves Xylem consists mainly tracheids while phloem does not have companion cells. This subdiviosn has three main classes Class Coniferales They include all the common gymnosperms naturally found in areas with little water. They have needle-like shaped leaves with a thick waxy cuticle Mature naked seeds occur at bases of female cones some months after pollination Class Cycadales Cycadeles resemble palms superficially. They have long compound leaves which are clustered at the apex of a thick ussualy short and unbranched stems. They have cones which are borne at the apex of the trunk among leaves. Class Ginkgoales Members of this class are very rare. They have deciduous with fan-like leaves. Examples include Ginkgo biloba species in china 2. Angiospermatophyta. This is the most advanced group found almost everywhere. They include grasses, herbs, shrubs and trees. Characteristics They are flower bearing and are usually bisexual. Seeds are enclosed in an ovary which develops into a fruit. Xylem has tracheids and vessels while phloem has companion cells. They exhibit double fertilization. This group is divided into Two Classes a) Class Dicotyledonae These are plant whose embryo of seeds has two cotyledons. Their leaves are broad and have networks of veins Cross section of stems REVEALS vascular bundles arranged in rings They have taproot system Centrally placed star-shaped xylem with phloem alternating with arms of the xylem Their flowers have floral parts in five or fours Examples are herbs, shrubs, and trees. The herbs include plants with all stems such as beans, cabbages, tomatoes and black jack while the shrubs include plants with fairly thick stems such as coffee, tea and cocoa b) Class Monocotyledonae Their seeds have an embryo with one cotyledon Relatively narrow leaves with parallel veins The cross section of the stem reveals scattered vascular veins No vascular cambium hence no secondary growth |

Virus is classified into which kingdom |
|
Answer» Viruses are the smallest biological particle (the tiniest are only 20 nm in diameter). However, they are not biological organisms so they are not CLASSIFIED in any kingdom of living things. They do not have any ORGANELLES and cannot respire or perform metabolic functions. Viruses are MERELY strands of DNA or RNA surrounded by a protective PROTEIN coat called a capsid. Viruses only come to life when they have invaded a cell. Outside of a host cell, viruses are completely inert. |

Main differrence between fungi and algae |
|
Answer» Algae and fungi both are EUKARYOTIC organisms, which are classified under kingdom Protistaand kingdom Fungi. Kingdom Protista contains protozoans and MOLDS in addition to algae. Algae play a VITAL role in ecosystems as primary producers and producers of oxygen GASSES. Fungi grow as chains of cells called fungal hyphae. Both algae and fungi form thallus. The main difference between algae and fungi is that algae are autotrophs, containing chlorophyllsfor photosynthesis whereas fungi are heterotrophs, obtaining organic material from the sources in the external environment... |
