Summary Introduction
To explain:
Did Redi’s experiment convincingly demonstrate that flies produce maggots?
Introduction:
A classic experiment by Francesco Redi, Italian physician in 1600 demonstrated the scientific method by illustrating scientific principles. He explained that all events can be traced to natural causes.

In Aplysia, (a) why does a gentle touch on the siphon lead to pronounced gill withdrawal after electric shock on its tail? (b)
why does a gentle touch on the syphon lead to even more pronounced gill withdrawal after pairing electric shock on its
tail with siphon touch? (c) you found an Aplysia mutant that cannot make functional adenylyl cyclase in the brain. How
would this affect part (a) and (b)? Briefly explain your reasoning.

PLEASEEEEEE HELP MEarrow_forwardYou are using nitrosoguanidine to “revert” mutant nic-2(nicotinamide-requiring) alleles in Neurospora.You treat cells, plate them on a medium without nicotinamide, and look for prototrophic colonies. You obtainthe following results for two mutant alleles. Explainthese results at the molecular level, and indicate how youwould test your hypotheses.a. With nic-2 allele 1, you obtain no prototrophs at all.b. With nic-2 allele 2, you obtain three prototrophiccolonies A, B, and C, and you cross each separately with awild-type strain. From the cross prototroph A × wildtype, you obtain 100 progeny, all of which are prototrophic.From the cross prototroph B × wild type, you obtain100 progeny, of which 78 are prototrophic and 22 arenicotinamide requiring. From the cross prototrophC × wild type, you obtain 1000 progeny, of which 996 areprototrophic and 4 are nicotinamide requiring.arrow_forward
