Tropical leafcutter ants collect leaf cuttings which they transport to special underground chambers. There, the ants chew the le

aves to create nursery beds on which the ants grow a species of fungus they use for food. When ant queens disperse to establish new colonies, they carry the fungus with them, dispersing it as well (this benefits the fungus). In the ants' new nests, the fungus is at risk of being destroyed by another fungal species that is able to grow in the habitat, using the same limited resources. On their bodies, the ants carry and provide a home for bacteria that produces antibiotics the ants use to kill the newly encountered fungus and thereby protect their food supply. In this system, the relationship between the leafcutter ants and their fungal food species is:a. mutualism. b. interspecific competition. c. parasitism. d. commensalism. e. predation.

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

The correct answer is "cell lysis due to the effect of osmotic pressure".

Explanation:

The cell wall is a structure that brings protection from the outside world and also helps to maintain the cell's water balance. The cell wall prevents that the cells is exposed to a large amount of turgor pressure, making the cell turgid when it is under extremal conditions. Some antimicrobials, such as bacitracin, block cell wall synthesis which makes the cell unable to support turgor pressure, resulting in cell lysis due to the effect of osmotic pressure.

If a germ-line cell from a frog contains 10 picograms of DNA during G1 of interphase, then how many picograms of DNA would be pr
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

10

Explanation:

The cell cycle is composed of three states: interphase, cell division and resting.

The interphase is composed of 3 phases: G1, S and G2 (in this order). During this state the cell prepares itself  for cell division. As part of the preparation the cell duplicates all its genetic material, that is, all its chromosomes. This duplication is done during the phase S.

During the meiotic cell division (composed of meiosis 1 and meiosis 2) a single diploid mother  cell (with duplicated chromosomes) produces four haploid daughter cells. the meiosis 1 produces two haploid cells with duplicated chromosomes, and the meiosis 2 produces 4 haploid cells with normal chromosomes (no duplicated).

If a germ-line cell from a frog contains 10 picograms of DNA during G1, then this cell will have 20 picograms of DNA before the product of the first meiotic division, and will have 10 picograms at the begining of the meiosis 2 (i.e prophase II)
