Healthy individuals of Paramecium bursaria contain photosynthetic algal endosymbionts of the genus Chlorella. When within their hosts, the algae are referred to as zoochlorellae. In aquaria with light coming from only one side, P. bursaria gather at the well-lit side, whereas other species of Paramecium gather at the opposite side. The zoochlorellae provide their hosts with glucose and oxygen, and P. bursaria provides its zoochlorellae with protection and motility. P. bursaria can lose its zoochlorellae in two ways: (1) if kept in darkness, the algae will die; and (2) if prey items (mostly bacteria) are absent from its habitat, P. bursaria will digest its zoochlorellae. Theoretically, P. bursaria can obtain zoochlorellae either vertically (via the asexual reproduction of its mother cell) or horizontally (by ingesting free-living Chlorella from its habitat). Consider a P. bursaria cell containing zoochlorellae but whose habitat lacks free-living Chlorella. If this cell subsequently undergoes many generations of asexual reproduction, if all of its daughter cells contain roughly the same number of zoochlorellae as it had originally contained, and if the zoochlorellae are all haploid and identical in appearance, then which statement is accurate?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Zoochlorellae also reproduced asexually at a nearly constant rate

Explanation:

Zoochlorellae (singular Zoochlorella), also referred to as Chlorella-like algae, is a genus of algae that live inside freshwater protozoans (e.g., Paramecium bursaria), exhibiting a symbiotic association with their hosts. Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that produces new individuals without the fusion of gametes and does not involve a change in the number of chromosomes. In consequence, a haploid parent, i.e., an individual who contains a single set (n) of chromosomes, will produce haploid (n) offspring. Moreover, and since the question indicates that daughter cells contain approximately the same number of zoochlorellae cells as parent cells, it is expected to observe an asexual reproduction rate at a fairly constant rate over time.

In Asia, human population growth and land development have fragmented forest habitats. Because of this fragmentation, tigers have become geographically isolated in small populations, and the tigers repeatedly mate within the same small population of tigers. What is the most likely impact this isolation will have on tiger populations?

Answers

Answer:

Isolation of the tigers´ populations will cause an increase in inbreeding events, meaning a significant reduction in genetic diversity in each population. The loss of genetic variability will cause a reduction in the fitness of individuals. The population's survival will be threatened, with high chances of getting extinct.

Answers

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The correct answer is C because it puts equivalent measurements in the equivalent cup size. Both cups in answer C are the same measurement: 200 mL. The water in both cups is also the same measurement: 100 mL of 70 degrees Celsius. This is important because equivalent measurements for everything mean the experiment will be fair, equal, and accurate. If the measurements were not equal to each other, your experiment would not be as accurate.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - ventricles

Explanation:

A normal human heart has four chambers, two upper and two lower chambers. The upper chambers, known as the right atria and left atria that get incoming blood into the heart.

The lower chambers knowns as right ventricles and left ventricles that push the blood out of your heart to the rest of the body. Ventricles receive the blood from the atrium and pump or expel the blood to the rest of the body.

Thus, the correct answer is - ventricles.

List 3 uses of biology in Jurassic park that are unrealistic. Explain how you know those uses are unrealist using information youve learned at any point in the year.

Answers

Answer:

he raptors in the novel, following through to the film raptors, were larger than the species going by the name because during the writing of the novel, a previously discovered dinosaur named Deinonychus (closely related to Velociraptor, but larger) was rechristened as a Velociraptor species by some scientists, notably Gregory S. Paul.[1] Crichton wrote his novel based on the idea of a human sized raptor, but after the publication—when the movie was already in production—the idea of Deinonychus being a Velociraptor species was dropped.

During the movie's production, the effects supervisors acknowledged that the Velociraptor featured in the movie were sized identically to the larger Deinonychus. However, during the filming paleontologists came across a larger dromaeosaurid species named Utahraptor and the larger raptors remained, even though Utahraptor was substantially larger (21 feet long) than most of the movie's raptors. It should be noted, also, that at the start of the film a Velociraptor skeleton is uncovered in Montana - no examples of the dinosaur have yet been uncovered in the USA (although both Deinonychus and Utahraptor are American dinosaurs). The fossil skeleton is similarly inaccurately large. It is possible that the Velociraptor in the movie are re-classified Deinonychus, though in the book they are said to be Velociraptor mongoliensis.

The high intelligence of the film's Velociraptor is considered somewhat unlikely by scientists, given the relative size of their brains and comparisons with modern animals.[

Halloween es ese día que apenas hace unos años ni siquiera celebrábamos en España. El día de los muertos, de los monstruos y el truco o trato. Por si eres de aquéllos a los que les parece una noche inquietante, aquí estamos en Estamos Seguros para garantizarte un sueño reparador.

Si te andas preguntando si un apocalipsis zombie es posible, la respuesta es sí, pero puedes estar tranquilo: el Apocalipsis Zombie en la noche de mañana es altamente improbable. De hecho, su probabilidad es apenas del 0,00014%.

Otras veces te hemos explicado en Estamos Seguros que una prima de seguro es el resultado de multiplicar la probabilidad del percance asegurado por el capital asegurado, esto es, lo que el asegurador deberá pagar si se produce. Esto quiere decir, lógicamente, que si se conoce el capital asegurado y la prima, se puede derivar la probabilidad. Asumiendo que un posible Apocalipsis Zombie acabaría con la raza humana (o, por lo menos, con la que está asegurada), puede asumirse que un hecho así equivale a una situación tal que obligaría a las aseguradoras a indemnizar todos los capitales que tienen asegurados sobre las personas.
