Answer:
the correct answers are C and D: "<em>Both partners are able to grow on substrates on which each would not be able to grow on their own</em>", and "<em>The fungi receive carbohydrates and, in some cases nitrogen, from the algae, while the algae gain a "home" that anchors them on the substrate</em>".
Explanation:
Lichens are the result of a symbiotic association between algae and a fungus. These two organisms must cooperate to survive in places under certain inhospitable conditions, where otherwise, they would not be able to survive by themselves. Algaes are the photosynthetic organisms that provide carbohydrates to fungus. These last ones, get the carbon and energy they need to grow, and in exchange, they protect the algae from dehydration and radiation, and they might also provide minerals for their survival. Algae can also get a way to get attached to the substrate. When instead of regular algae, there is a prokaryotic cyanobacterium, these can also supply with fix nitrogen to fungus, in the form of nitrogenous compounds.
Answer:
The correct answer to the question, 'which of the following scenarios is representative of how agricultural practice can affect the environment' is A. Option A is chosen because it is the only option that refer to another environment which is different from that of the farm. When fertilizers are washed to nearby ponds as a result of erosion, it causes a lot of negative changes in the pond. For instance, the chemicals in the fertilizer can be poisonous to some of the smaller organisms in the pond, this will result in the death of these organisms. Fertilizer run off can also cause excessive growth of plants such as algae in the pond. This may block out the light necessary for the survival of the organisms in the ponds and may also reduce the amount of oxygen available to the organisms living in the pond.
Explanation:
DNA fingerprinting is where DNA is used to create a profile for someone often in crimes. The STR or Short Tandem Repeats are used for this. STRs are non-coding sections of DNA which repeat themselves for example CACACACACACACACACACA the location of this STR and the length of the STR (how many times it repeats) are used to identify a specific person
