Chimpanzees are more closely related while orangutans are the least closely related of the apes. Gorillas are in the middle of the two.
<h2>Koch's Postulates.</h2>
Explanation:
The next step should be isolate the microorganism from the mice and check if it is identical to the original microbe.
According to Koch's postulates, a microbe can be considered as a causative agent of a disease only after all the following are established:
- The microorganism should be present in all the organism suffering from the disease.
- The isolated microorganism should be grown in pure culture.
- The organism grown in the culture should be reintroduced in the susceptible but healthy host.
- Finally the microorganism must be re-isolated from the experimental host an cultured to see whether it is identical to the original specific microorganism.
The original roots of dodder usually die. As a parasitic plant that cannot produce its own chlorophyll, it breaks away from its root system as the roots has no apparent root cap nor apical meristems. Hence the "root" is not performing its very function of water and nutrient uptake. It then produces haustoria, a root-shaped fungi which penetrates host plant which makes the dodder parasitic.
