Answer:

C. Genetic material composed of nucleic acid

Explanation:

The information needed by every organism to perform life functions like reproduction, growth etc are held in the genetic material that the organism carries in its genome. Every genetic material of organisms is composed of nucleic acids, which are only two in nature i.e. Ribonucleic acid (RNA) and Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). This is a common feature of all organisms including bacteria and viruses that they contain genetic material which must be in form of a nucleic acid.

The viruses do not undergo a cell division, neither do they contain protein synthesis structures called Ribosomes because they do not have the ability to reproduce or perform any living process outside a living host cell. This means that they strictly depend on another organism's transcriptional, translational, replicational ability to survive.

"cell structures is the permeability layer that lets only a selective number and type of molecules into the cell?"
Montano1993 [528]

Answer: Cell membrane

Explanation:

The cell membrane has the ability to transfer the molecules from the exterior of the cell to the interior of the cell.

The cell membrane is semi permeable which means only selected molecules will pass through the cell membrane.

The molecules and substances that are synthesized inside the cell needs to be transported from inside to outside via cell membrane.

A few years after a prey species population decreases, the _____. A. prey population will exceed carrying capacity B. predator p
ikadub [295]

Answer:

D. predator population will decrease

Explanation:

If the population of prey species decreases then the competition between the predator population will increase and natural selection will act on them. So nature will select those individuals among predators who are more fit and adapted and less fit individuals will die.

So a few year after the predator population will decrease as there are not enough prey to support the large population of predators which was present when prey were abundant. Therefore the correct answer is D.
