Question
Chapter 2, Problem 5E.1RQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: The reason why the body tube of the microscope should not be lowered while looking through the ocular lens.
Introduction: Microscope is an optical instrument that is used in visualizing objects that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. Minerals, microbes, plant cell, animal cell, and many more can be magnified and viewed with a microscope.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The body tube is present just above the stage of the microscope and attached to its arm. It houses the objective lens and eyepiece lenses that magnify the specimen. The body tube can be lowered or raised with the help of coarse-adjustment as well as fine-adjustment knobs. These knobs are located above or below the microscope’s stage. The body tube must not be lowered while looking through the ocular lens because it might cause the slide to break.

To study genes that create the purple flower color in peas, you isolate 4 amorphic mutations. Each results in a flower with a different color, described
mutant a = blue
mutant c = pink
mutant b = white
mutant d = red
A. In tests of double mutants, you observe the following phenotypes:
mutants a and b = blue
mutants b and c = white
mutants c and d = pink
