    During their inactive stage, certain bacteria, such as the anthrax and tetanus bacilli, form:

    • Flagella

    • Daughter cells

    • Spores

    • Toxins

    Correct Answer
    A. Spores
    Explanation
    During their inactive stage, certain bacteria, such as the anthrax and tetanus bacilli, form spores. Spores are a dormant and highly resistant form of bacteria that can survive harsh conditions such as extreme temperatures, lack of nutrients, and exposure to chemicals or radiation. This allows the bacteria to remain viable for extended periods until conditions become favorable for growth and reproduction. Spore formation is a survival mechanism that enables bacteria to persist in the environment and potentially cause infections or diseases when conditions become suitable for their reactivation.

    Permanent hair color breaks up or diffuses :

    • Disulfide bonds

    • Melanin

    • Cortex

    • Eumelanin

    Correct Answer
    A. Melanin
    Explanation
    Permanent hair color breaks up or diffuses melanin. Melanin is the pigment responsible for the color of our hair. Permanent hair color works by penetrating the hair shaft and breaking down the existing melanin molecules, allowing the new color to be deposited. This process permanently changes the color of the hair. Disulfide bonds are not broken or diffused by permanent hair color, as these bonds are responsible for the hair's structure and strength. The cortex is the middle layer of the hair shaft and eumelanin is a type of melanin found in the hair, both of which are not directly affected by permanent hair color.
