In a hypothetical situation, a bacterium lives on the surface of a leaf, where it obtains nutrition from the leaf's nonliving, w

axy covering while inhibiting the growth of other microbes that are plant pathogens. If this bacterium gains access to the inside of a leaf, however, it causes a fatal disease in the plant. Once the plant dies, the bacterium and its offspring decompose the plant. What is the correct sequence of ecological roles played by the bacterium in the situation described here? Use only those that apply.

Answer:

1. nutrient recycler

2. mutualist

4. parasite

Option C

Explanation:

Nutrient recycler: The bacterial decompose the dead plant and release the organic elements back to soil or air. The organic matter present in the dead plant parts is decomposed and the carbon is released into the air. Similarly, other nutrients stored in the dead plant are decomposed by the bacteria and are released into the environment so that they can enter the nutrient cycles.  

Mutualist: The bacteria living on the surface of leaf obtains nutrition from it. The plant is benefited by this association since the bacteria prevents the invasion of other pathogens in the plant. An ecological interaction wherein both the species are benefited is called mutualism.

Parasite: Once the bacteria enter the leaf, it causes disease to the plant. Here, the plant is the host while the bacteria is a parasite. The plant is harmed while bacterial obtains nutrition from the plant.

Which of the following statements is true?
Paraphin [41]

Functionality of Genes and chromosomes is described below.

Explanation:

  • Genes are segments of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that contain the code for a specific protein that functions in one or more types of cells in the body. Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain a person's genes.
  • Genes are contained in chromosomes, which are in the cell nucleus.
  • A chromosome contains hundreds to thousands of genes.Every normal human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes.
  • A trait is any gene-determined characteristic and is often determined by more than one gene.Some traits are caused by mutated genes that are inherited or that are the result of a new gene mutation.
  • The body produces thousands of different enzymes. Thus, the entire structure and function of the body is governed by the types and amounts of proteins the body synthesizes. Protein synthesis is controlled by genes, which are contained on chromosomes.
  • the genotype is a complete set of instructions on how that person’s body synthesizes proteins and thus how that body is supposed to be built and function.
  • The phenotype is the actual structure and function of a person’s body. The phenotype is how the genotype manifests in a person—not all the instructions in the genotype may be carried out (or expressed). Whether and how a gene is expressed is determined not only by the genotype but also by the environment (including illnesses and diet) and other factors, some of which are unknown.
  • A karyotype is a picture of the full set of chromosomes in a person’s cells.
