Answer:

(B). Brown algae and dinoflagellates.

Explanation:

In a phylogenetic tree, two species are considered as most closely related if they share a more common ancestor than the others. The nodes of tree represent the common ancestor, while the tips of branches represent species originated from that ancestor.

As in given tree, dinoflagellates and brown algae share a common ancestor as they evolved from the same ancestor, they are most closely related to each other.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

What are the disadvantages of 'bio-magnification'? Give 3 points.
Elis [28]

Answer:

<u>The disadvantages of 'bio-magnification are:</u>

<u>Impact on Human Health</u>

Biomagnification makes humans more prone to cancer, kidney problems, liver failure, birth defects, respiratory disorders, and heart diseases.

<u>Effects on Reproduction and Development of Marine Creatures</u>

The toxic chemicals accumulate in the important organs of aquatic organisms that affect their reproduction and development processes.

For eg., the shells of the eggs of the sea-birds are very thin that might get crushed by the birds themselves during incubation. The toxic chemicals, mercury and selenium destroy the reproductive organs of aquatic creatures.

<u>Destruction of Coral Reefs</u>

Cyanide that is used in leaching gold and fishing is the main cause of the destruction of coral reefs. Coral reefs are the dwelling and feeding grounds for many sea creatures. Their destruction affects the lives of many aquatic animals.

<u>Disruption of Food Chain</u>

The chemicals and toxins which are released into the water bodies disrupt the food chain. The small organisms absorb the toxins which are eaten up by larger animals. These toxins, thus, get accumulated in the higher level of organisms.

Two samples of radioactive material from the same rock is prepared for testing. Sample A is cut into a 2 inch cube. Sample B is
salantis [7]

Answer:

The same

Explanation:

Half life is the time taken for the number of atoms in a radioactive sample to decrease to half of the initial number of atoms. It is also the time taken for the activity of a radioactive sample to decrease to half of its original value.

If samples A and B were obtained from the same rock, then they contain the same number of atoms having the same initial activity even though the samples were not prepared in the same way for analysis.

Hence, samples A and B have the same half life.

Diploid nuclei of the ascomycete Neurospora crassa contain 14 chromosomes. A single diploid cell in an ascus will undergo one ro
77julia77 [94]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the option which are:

A) 100, 7

B) 100, 14

C) 200, 7

D) 200, 14

E) 400, 14

Answer:

A) 100, 7

Explanation:

The ascomycetes reproduce by the forming ascospores which are formed by the process of meiosis thus from 1 Parent cell, 4 daughter cells are reproduced. The 4 ascospores then undergo the mitosis and 4 daughter ascospores form 8 ascospores.

If the parent cell of an ascospore contains  

1. Ploidy- 2n=14 chromosomes, therefore, Meiosis process will reduce the number to half and will form the n=7 in daughter cells.

2. The DNA amount- in G2 stage will be 400 ng therefore during meiosis I, two cells with 200 ng DNA and then two more cells with 100 ng will be formed after meiosis II.

Thus, A) 100, 7  is correct.
