Why dont we get the transister action by connecting two diodes back to back?
Because two diodes is not a transistor. There is an interaction between the junctions in the transistor, because of their proximity, that you don't get in the two diodes. The only use of modeling a transistor as two diodes back to back is to test a transistor with a multimeter as a quick go-nogo test for basic operability.
What types of diodes are used in high frequencies?
Two types used at microwave frequencies are gunn and PIN diodes.
Is transistor a rectifier?
there are two diodes there but to use them as rectifiers never
Why is the direction of diodes in alternator diode trio is opposite to the direction of diodes in the rectifier bridge?
A three phase alternator will have six diodes in the rectifier bridge, three with their anodes connected to the phases, and cathodes commoned to the positive terminal, and three with the cathodes connected to the phases, and anodes commoned to the negative terminal, which is likely the housing of the alternator. The trio diodes arrangement will match the positive rectifiers, i.e. anodes to the phase connections, cathodes (denoted usually by a stripe around the body on small diodes), connected to the D+ terminal
How many diodes can be used in center tap type rectifiers?
There are two diodes in a standard center tapped configuration of a rectifier. This is per phase, so if you had a three phase system, each winding having a center tap, all of which are connected together, you would have six diodes.
What is a true statement of diodes?
There are several types of diodes; the only thing they have in common is that they have two electrodes - hence the name.
What are the classifications of diodes?
a diode is a device that alows current to flow in one direction you have power diodes which are used in rectification processes and high current operations but the two main families of diodes are solid state diodes or valve operated diodes.

What is true about diodes?
Lots of things are true about diodes. There are different types of diodes; their general characteristic is that they have two electrodes (electrical contacts). They conduct current in one direction only.
How can you designed transistor using diode because no available transistor?
You cannot build a transistor with two diodes. Even though the static junction characteristics of a transistor "looks like" two back to back series diodes, there is a relationship between the two junctions that cannot be matched by just connecting two diodes together.
Can you make a transistor by connecting two diodes back to back?
Two diodes, whether or not discreet, cannot work together as a transistor. The diodes and transistor have different profiles to optimize them for their specific functions
Is it possible to design a transistor by using two diodes practically?
No.

Why to use four diodes when two diodes also can serve the purpose in bridge rectifier?
Four diode rectifier not require a center tapped transformer.
What was the major effect of replacing the two diodes with resistors?
As I have no information on the circuit I can make no valid predictions as to the effect of replacing diodes with resistors. However I assume the effect(s) will resemble that of having very defective diodes in the circuit.
