<span>A parasite is an organism that lives in or on another organism (its host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the host's expense. Hope I helped!</span>

A parasite is an organism that survives in a non-mutual relationship by obtaining nutrients from the host organism or lives off the host organism. In the case of parasitism, the host is harmed while the "parasite" receives benefits that could range from nutrients to shelter. This strange sickness the Angelfish is receiving is most likely due to the parasite in this instance deriving nutrients from the organism and depleting it's immune system or a disease passed on by a parasite. Hope this helped! :)

Without bacteria in the environment
timurjin [86]

Answer:

e. All of the choices are correct.

Explanation:

Bacteria are present almost everywhere on Earth. Many bacteria like cyanobacteria play an important role in fixing the atmospheric carbon in the form of an organic molecule. These organic molecules then used to gain energy.

Many nitrogen-fixing bacteria like Rhizobium,  Azotobacter, etc plays an important role in providing nitrogen to plants which is important for their growth. Many bacteria decompose organic matter into simpler form and recycle the nutrients present in them.  

So bacteria like <em>Pseudomonas putida</em> decompose waste and clean the environment, therefore, they also help in bioremediation. So the correct answer is e. All of the choices are correct.

Duroc Jersey pigs are typically red, but a sandy variation is also seen. When two different varieties of true-breeding sandy pig
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The dihybrid proportion for Mendelian example of legacy regularly gives a few deviations attributable to epistasis. One of these proportion incorporate the example of 9:6:1 proportion as opposed to ordinary 9:3:3:1. This proportion can be credited to nearness of copy qualities with total impacts. As per the above model, it very well may be seen that guardians are unadulterated rearing red and sandy in shading. Be that as it may, their offspring show up as red, sandy and curious white pigs in the proportion of 9:6:1 individually.  

Explanation:

The information and perception recommend that the qualities liable for red shading and sandy shading are copy in nature and in total, they give sandy shading to the pigs. Be that as it may, nonappearance of any of these alleles in either homozygous or heterozygous condition neglects to produce a coat shading and a vapid white pig is raised. This likewise proposes deviation of Mendelian example of legacy occurs right now to explicit intuitive conduct of these two qualities for red and sandy coat hues. Disappointment of cooperation of these two alleles brings about white pig while nearness of both the alleles results in between allelic association and surprisingly, an extremely enormous number of sandy pigs are watched. Aggregately, it very well may be deciphered that both the qualities are predominant over one another. These alleles produce an alternate phenotype when present alone however produce an impossible to miss phenotype when present together due to between allelic associations. Significantly, it's anything but an instance of essentially added substance conduct of alleles in such a case that it had been, another phenotypic coat shading would have been acquired. Be that as it may, since the F1 offspring resumes the shading like their folks, it speaks to an instance of epistatic copy qualities.

Which of the following best compares viral reproduction to reproduction in other organisms?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

B. Viruses must commandeer the mechanisms of a host cell in order to reproduce

Explanation:

Virus is an organism that is incapable of replicating on its own without infecting a living host cell. A viral cell is dependent on a living host to replicate and express its genes. Hence, the infection cycle of a virus is its reproductive life cycle.

Other living organisms e.g plant, bacteria, fungi etc. have the ability to reproduce i.e. multiply on their own through asexual or sexual means. However, on the contrary, a virus must infect a living host, hijack the replicational abilities of the host cell in order to reproduce. Based on this, a virus employs a lysogenic or lytic cycle or both on its host to reproduce.
