Due to the presence of mycolic acids in the cell wall of Mycobacterium spp., the staining procedure can be used as a diagnostic tool to identify this genus.

The question is incomplete as it does not have the option which are:

-acid-fast

-DAPI

-lipo

-Gram

Acid-fast  staining

Explanation:

Acid-fast staining is the technique used to stain and identify the species of the mycobacterium.

During the acid-fast staining, the carbolfuchsin stain is used to color the bacteria as carbolfuchsin solubilizes the lipid of the bacterial wall and the pink stain enters the cell. When these cells are treated with the methylene blue counterstain, the mycobacterium due to the presence of thick cell wall does not allow the entry of the methylene blue as a result of which they appear red o pink.

Thus, acid-fast staining is correct.

hey, i believe your answer would be d. sugar ribose and the base uracil. i believe this is the answer, because rna consists of sugar ribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

your first option is incorrect, because that's dna. where it consists of sugar deoxyribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.

your second option is also incorrect, this is because sugar deoxyribose is in dna, and uracil is in rna. these two do not make sense together.

your third option being incorrect, because sugar ribose is in rna, but not the base of thymine. rna consists of uracil, not thymine.

lastly your fourth option being correct! this answer is correct, because both sugar ribose, and the base uracil are in rna! ~

answer is d. sugar ribose and the base uracil.
