Answer:
Biodiversity is important because it boosts an ecosystems productivity where each species, no matter how small, all have an important role to play.
Explanation:
It could be active transport or passive transport
Answer: The correct option is B (self-replicating molecules, such as RNA and DNA)
Explanation:
The current theory of the process of evolution makes use of present day knowledge of genes and chromosomes to explain the source of genetic variation upon which natural selection works. These genes are discrete units of inheritance which determine hereditary characteristics. All the information for the inheritable characteristics of an individual are contained in these genes.
When a cell divides, the genes duplicate themselves so that each daughter cell has an identical set of genes as the original parent cell. These genes are passed from parents to offspring in the gametes of the parents.
Gene are found in the DNA( Deoxyribonucleic acid) molecules or RNA (Ribonucleic acid) molecules. These molecules are capable of self replication due to a process called mutation. Mutations are random changes in DNA that alter genetic information and sin introduce new characteristics. They may occur
--> in body cells or
--> during gamete formation.
Thus, evolution from vesicles to true cells is through self replicating molecules through the process of mutation which is the raw material for evolution

Answer:
by testcrossing with a homozygous recessive partner
Explanation:
<u>If a pet cockroach exists whose zygosity is unknown, this can be determined by a test cross. A test cross involves crossing an organisms whose zygosity is unknown with a partner that is homozygous recessive for the same trait.</u>
Let us assume that brown body is represented by the allele B, the dominant allele. The homozygous recessive version would be bb.
The genotype of a brown cockroach whose zygosity is not known can be denoted as B_, where '_' can be a 'B' or a 'b'.
When B_ is crossed with bb:
B_ x bb
Progeny
2 Bb
2 _b
The phenotype of Bb would be brown (since B is dominant over b) while the phenotype of _b would depend on the zygosity level of the cockroach.
If the unknown genotype is BB, then _b becomes Bb and the phenotype will be a brown body. This means that all the progeny will appear brown. (<em>see the first attached image for the Punnet's square</em>)
In other word, if the unknown genotype is bb, then _b becomes bb and the phenotype will be a alternate color (non-brown) body. This means that 50% of the progeny will appear brown while the remaining 50% will be in the alternate color. (<em>attached</em>
