Answer:

Earthworm - have a coelom and a closed circulatory system.

Scallops or clams - has a mantle and an open circulatory system.

Starfish - has an endoskeleton made of calcium-rich plates.

Spider - exhibits the phenomenon of molting.

Explanation:

Earthworm belongs to Phylum Annelida. They are metamerically segmented, triploblastic and bilaterally symmetrical. They have a closed circulatory system and a coelom (true body cavity).

Scallops or clams belong to Phylum Mollusca, the second largest animal phylum. They are coelomate, triploblastic, bilaterally symmetrical organisms having an open circulatory system. They have a calcareous shell covered body with a distinct head, muscular foot, visceral hump and a mantle (soft and spongy layer of skin) over the hump.

Starfish belongs to Phylum Echinodermata, which consists of exclusively free-living marine organisms. They have an endoskeleton made up of calcium carbonate structures. They are coelomate, triploblastic and have a water vascular system that is used for respiration, locomotion, food capture and transport.

Spiders belong to Phylum Arthropoda. They have chitinous covered segmented bodies, jointed legs and exoskeletons (hard external shells). Arthropods periodically shed their exoskeletons or shells in order to grow, this process is called molting. They are coelomate, triploblastic, bilaterally symmetrical organisms having an open circulatory system.

Traits controlled by recessive alleles on the X chromosome are more common in males than in females. Explain why. (i dont unders

GaryK [48]

Males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome whereas females have 2 X chromosomes. Hence females have 2 genes one on each of the X chromosome controlling the respective phenotype(appearance).Males only have one gene on the X chromosome controlling the phenotype because the Y chromosome is not known to control any phenotype linked to the X chromosome. Hence traits controlled by recessive alleles on the X chromosome are more common in males than in females. For a recessive trait to show in a female, she should inherit two X chromosomes that contain the recessive genes.Where as for a male to inherit a recessive trait, he only has to inherit one X chromosome which contains the recessive gene. Hope this helps!

How does interphase prepare cells for mitosis? rest prior to cell division rest prior to cell division growth of cell and replic

Sloan [31]

Answer:

Growth of cell and replication of DNA.

Explanation:

The cell cycle has three stages, the interphase, mitosis, and the G0 phase.

Interphase is before mitosis, and it prepares the cell for its division. Interphase has three phases:

G1, where the cell grows in size due to the growth of organelles and components, which the cell will need later.

In the S phase, the cell synthesizes a copy of the DNA.

The G2, where the cell keeps growing and producing organelles and other elements that will need for mitosis.

In conclusion, in the interphase, the cell grows and replicates its DNA.

Climate change is expected to alter the ocean’s temperature, salinity, acidity, and currents. What would you want to investigate

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Even though an individual phytoplankton is tiny, there are many of them in the ocean. Their combined effect on atmospheric CO2 is comparable to that of every plant on land. ... Then they exude altered dissolved organic carbon into the water (the bacterial equivalent of pee and poop) and respire carbon dioxide into the air.

Explain mendel's experiment with peas on inheritence of characters considering only one visible contrasting character.

m_a_m_a [10]

➜ Mendel conducted breeding experiments with garden peas:

[i] He studied plants (pure) of a tall/short varities.

[ii] He crossed them and obtained F1 progeny.

[iii] He found that F1 progeny was all tall plants.

[iv] He selfed the (hybrid) plants if F1 progeny.

[v] He found that in F2 progeny there were tall as well as short plants.

[vi] The three quarter plants were tall and one quarter was short.

(or any other contrasting character may be taken).

Note: Here, F1 means First fillial generation and F2 means Second fillial generation.
